How to Play/Get Neverwinter Nights 1.69 Free!
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2018 10:50 pm
OK guys/gals. It's been over a month now since I told everyone that we will be running a 24/7 NWN server once again and would love to have everyone join us that cares to RP or simply play D&D with their buddies again online in the best CRPG ever created IMO.
I've spend almost 2 months now getting this new module up to speed and including the latest code, options etc all up and running. I'm still running a closed test server and I've got a few guys testing things daily now, but I wanted to post this topic to get everyone caught up to speed that wants to join in. Here's how;
1.) First off you'll need to download all 5 of these disks/ISO's and either run them directly on your laptops/PC's in order or download the diamond copy from GoG.com for $12.89 to have a fully legal copy of your very own. If your a cheap ass like me, download all of the following links
Disk 1: https://archive.org/details/Neverwinter ... Atari_2003
Disk 2: https://archive.org/details/Neverwinter ... Atari_2003
Disk 3: https://archive.org/details/Neverwinter ... Atari_2002
Disk 4: https://archive.org/details/Neverwinter ... Atari_2003
Disk 5: https://archive.org/details/Neverwinter ... Atari_2003
Run them all in order for a complete install.
Or download the entire game (all 5 disks in one installer here) via torrent since GoG dumped Diamond edition

After you have installed all 5 disks or the diamond edition to your computers. Then you'll need the latest and FINAL patch for NWN installed. You can download that here;
https://neverwintervault.org/sites/all/ ... e&nid=1585
Run the installer and it will find and patch the game to 1.69
Now you'll need to download and install the C.E.P. You can find that here;
CEP 2.65: cep_2_65_full.7z - Full download of 2.65 (3865)
https://neverwintervault.org/sites/all/ ... z&nid=8011
Download the CEP, unzip it and follow instructions. (You basically dump unzip and dump all the contents over your new NWN installation folders. IE: everything in the haks folder goes into the "haks" folder, everything in the tlk folder goes into the "tlk" folder < super simple
After you have accomplished this, run the game. You'll need to login to Multiplayer, then use the "Direct Connect" option to connect to our server as GameSpy no longer supports a server list or CD verification. If you need CD keys (you will need 3), you can get them free on youtube (just search for nwn free cd keys).
If you spent the $ on the Diamond Edition I linked above, it comes with all your keys so you don't need to screw around, it will just work
If you have any questions or can't get things running, post here and I'll try n help
