HOW TO FIX MULTIPLAYER
This method will fix problems you are having with NWN2 multiplayer from Steam. Feel free to contribute. Thank you Skywing for your many contributions!

1 - You may need to copy your cd keys from your Steam library to the nwn2cdkey.ini file. If you do, go to your Neverwinter Nights 2 folder in your documents.Open the file named nwn2cdkey.ini with notepad. If there are no keys written, get your keys from your Steam Library by right-clicking Neverwinter Nights 2, and selecting View Game CD Key and copy the keys to the nwn2cdkey.ini file. Save it.

2 - *This is not a crucial step, although it does bypass the two minute wait each time you log into multiplayer. You will require administrator priveleges to edit, so open 'notepad' as an administrator and open the Hosts. This will bypass the account authentication and allow editting of the "Hosts" file.

In Win 7 (32bit) and 10 (64bit) it is located here: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.

Once you have opened the file through notepad (+admin), add these two lines of text at the end of what is there:

0.0.0.0 nw2master.bioware.com
0.0.0.0 nwn2.master.gamespy.com

Save the file.

3 - (REQUIRED) Download the client extension (version 1.0.0.28) here:
http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/other/nwn2-client-extension
and extract it to your game folder (...\STEAM\steamapps\common\Neverwinter Nights 2).

Once extracted, double-click hdlinstall.reg (only do this the first time installing).

Now start the game using the (newly extracted) NWLauncher.exe file. You may wish to create a short-cut to this file and place it on the desktop since the MP client services will not work if you start the game from Steam.

And there you have it. Start the game, click on multiplayer, and put whatever you want as name/password.

I just reloaded this last week and followed my own instructions.

The nwncdkey.ini file is found :
C:\Users\{your name}\Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2
