Description
This is the latest Patch for Neverwinter Nights
Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)

What works
Everything on the single-player campaign in brief testing.


What does not
The toolset. Prerendered movies and the various corporate credit screens at the start either crash the game or only play audio, so better off disabled.


What was not tested
Multiplayer. The two main expansion packs and the other premium modules the Diamond version ships with (except Kingmaker, briefly tested), but I'd be surprised if they had any problems.


Additional Comments

Purchased from Good Old Games. GOG.com modifies its games to improve compatibility with modern Windows systems, so that may affect results with Wine.

Silver rating chosen because of the toolset and movie failures, but single player works flawlessly as far as I can tell with the following settings. I see 15-30 fps on a late 2008 MacBook Pro using either the integrated Nvidia 9400M and discrete 9600M GPUs.

With Wineskin I suggest using Screen Options|Override, Rootless, Virtual Desktop at 800x600 (this only affects the initial launcher). Edit nwn.ini to say under [Display Options]

FullScreen=0
AllowWindowedMode=1
SafeMovie=1
Disable Movies=1

This will disable the aforementioned non-working credits, movies, and the full screen mode; by turning full screen off, Command-Tab, Spaces, and Exposé still work. From the nwn.exe launcher, run Configure, and select a resolution; this controls window size for the game itself. Enjoy!

PS - Although you should have no reason to ever do this, do not press Command-Alt-A to activate X11's built-in full screen mode; this badly confuses the game. Either push Command-Q to quit, or Command-Alt-Escape to force kill the app.)

NWN does not launch with Wine 1.5.10
by Kol on Sunday November 18th 2012, 18:55
Neverwinter Nights does not launch with Wine 1.5.10 and later
versions. I can see only a window with blue background but
the process "nwmain.exe" consumes almost 100% of CPU time.
Turning on debug messages by
WINEDEBUG="+err,+warn,+fixme"
shows only

err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"a3dapi.dll"
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {92fa2c24-253c-11d2-90fb-06008a1f441} could be created for context 0x1

what is the same as when the game runs with Wine 1.5.9.

Native 64 bit
by Francisco Pina on Wednesday January 14th 2009, 8:23
To the original poster:
The native client can be played in a 64 bit kernel. I've been doing it since Ubuntu 7.10 and still do today.
Just follow the on-site instructions for installing and then get the required 32 bit libs. There are plenty of how-tos for that.
The native client gives a better fps running on the same setting then in windows on the same machine.
Hope it's usefull.

Character Avatar Invisible
by James Clemence on Monday December 29th 2008, 7:49
Hey there, it all seems to work fine on wine 1.1.11, though it does have a major issue - opening it up shows no characters, everyone is invisible, their shadows are there, and hovering over them shows the select shadow thing (pale, outline of character) but no actual character shown. Further, there is no image of the character on the new character creation page when you create a new character. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Updated to 1.69.
