I have just installed NWN.

When the menu comes up, I go to options and change them to higher res. ERROR. CANNOT OVERWRITE THE .INI FILE.

I try another resolution. Same shit.

I then give up and try to just start the game. It refuses to even start....??? Yes, I have installed in another folder than the x86. Windows 7 64bit Ultimate....

Help?

EDIT:
Okay, I've found out the solution to this but encountered yet another problem:

I have to run the game under administrator, then I can change the .ini files and thus the resolution etc...

Then the game starts - and once the movie finishes playing, it doesn't work. Just blacks out the screen then goes back to desktop.

WTH?

So where did you end up installing to? You can hardcode the NWN.ini file to manually put in your resolution. As for the rest of the problems you have, it might be a corrupted download

g:\gog games\Neverwinter Nights Diamond edition\

And I can't get into the .ini file because it refuses to save it... FUCK YOU ADMINISTRATOR BULLSHIT! I tried everything I could - I wanted to change the ini file to fix the dual core problem (apparently its common) but nup. I can't open the file under administrator because I have to "open with"...

Ideas?

edit: I CAN open the ini but I can't modify it.

It could be a permissions problem, can you delete it? Copy the contents to another text file and dump the original.

When I try to name the text file nwnplayer.ini it doesn't do shit. Just sits there looking like a nice text document...

I just want to fucking play one of my all time favorite games that I haven't played for nearly six years!

How can I STOP admin shit? That is the only thing that truly fucking shits me about windows after XP.

I think it's a problem with either the drivers or something because when I right click the icon on the bar and "close window" it flashes into the NWN in game menu (not the startup menu, the one IN game) - so I KNOW the game is working... @%!@%!@

P.s. Yes, gfx drivers up to date.

Well that oen is because you have the file extensions hidden, its really called nwnplayer.ini.txt. In control panel & folder options, you can tell it to always show file extensions

Whilst in control panel, load up the users panel and see if your account is a computer administrator

Yeah, I'm administrator... and only have one account on this computer. Virama sad.

Virama go bed now, TAFE all day tomorrow. So gutted. I might try and redownload the whole thing at TAFE tomorrow and pray it does SOMETHING so I have the game for the weekend.....

Nite bro, thanks for the tips. If it STILL doesn't work I might email GoG support or something.


EDIT: Two minutes later

OKay, that was completely absurd.

After posting that and right clicking NWN to close it, it suddenly decided to work. And does so now.

I am NOT a noob but I honestly have NO idea how the hell this just... Oh whatever, thank god it's working.

There was an issue with the NVidia Forceware 169.xx/170.xx (or so) drivers and OpenGL (which NWN uses). You can try using an older driver set, or if you're on Windows 7, try the latest Nvidia drivers (200-something, I think).

Good luck!
