Problems with NeverwinterNights2

Post by pucky »

Hello out there,
I have a problem running nwn2 on wine. According to the NWN2 entry in the AppDB: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=4118
I fetched the two libraries devenum.dll and dxdiagn.dll and made some entries in my wine configuration / libraries. But I got just a black screen or a dump:

Did I missed something?

Thank you

What Wine version are you using? If not 1.3.34 or 1.3.35 please upgrade.

NWN2 Platinum starts and runs fine here with Wine-1.3.35. I have only the following native dlls in use:
msvcr80.dll
dxdiagn.dll
d3dx9_30.dll

Native devenum.dll is not needed(?). I have a Nvidia 250 card with latest proprietary driver (290.10).

Could you please update the Applications Database for this program with this information?
Thank you.

thanks @mogorva:
thank you for you help. I can really play NWN2 now though its a little bit bumpy. This is cause most probably by the hardware. Im not sure about the version. Im using Debian Sid, it suppose to be up to date, the latest version but the wine version shows at the wine-configuration window is just 1.0.1. There is however a wine-unstable package bundle. These packages have the version number 1.1.36.

I think it was right to put these dlls into the .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and I didn't made any further adaptions, no DLL assignment etc.
When I try to download a dll over the web, my browser offers me to use wine-safe to save or to run that dll? What is the purpose of this software? I couldn't find information about it, not even if I try the search function of this website.

What is still not usable, is the update function of NWN2, its not possible to setup a connection to the web.

What can I do to fix this.

Thank you so far...

You can get the exact version number by typing wine --version in the terminal.
Those versions are very old, older than the latest stable 1.2.3.
I'm not familiar with Sid but here you can find the packages for the latest development version of Wine:
http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/

The recommended method to install native dlls is by using winetricks:
http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
It has a graphical interface where you can choose the required native components to install.

In the updater (nwupdate.exe) right click on the Forgotten Realms logo in the upper right corner, and check the Dedicated Internet Connection option. I managed to update NWN2 to the latest 1.23.1765 in this way, although this was done with a recent Wine. Hope it helps to you as well.
