Are missing shader vertex files a Wine thing or an application thing?

There are no '.shd' files on my hard drive.

Unfortunately, I cannot recreate the error message.
What version of NWToolset do you have installed?
Do you have expansions and/ or any Hak Paks for Neverwinter Nights?
Does the program work if you run it without -userdirectory?

jkfloris,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to get the version by running the native linux commands, but it core dumped.

So, I have logged a bug with Beamdog.

Well, Beamdog are about as useful as a wet paper bag...

According to SteamDB, Patch 8193.32:
https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/7398767/
a bunch of Shader files were removed from ./ovr

[MissingVertexShader]

After logging a bug with GOG (and actually getting a reply!), I deleted the installation folders and reinstalled NWN:EE; its now working, even though there are no '*.shd' files anywhere.

Just as an addendum, the offending file is "nwn_base.key" in the "./game/data" folder.

This file is altered in the NWN:EE dedicated server version 8193.34:

The "nwn_base.key" file from NWN:EE version 8193.33 (apparently) contains the required "*.shd" files.
