You may also put in whatever amount of memory your video card uses instead of 256.
To get the autoupdater to run, right click anywhere on the autoupdate window (except the status text part), and then click "dedicated internet connection". It should now work.
If you are unable to change resolution while using fullscreen mode, emulating a virtual desktop may be useful for getting the game to allow other resolutions.

Installer doesn't even start
by Thomas Benn on Wednesday April 10th 2013, 4:17
Hello,
using the NWN2 Complete version bought from GoG (for a penny and a dime, really), I tried to install but failed.
Using a fresh wine prefix I used winetricks to install vcrun2005 and d3dx9 and set the registry to the stuff in the how-to here.
Yet, still, just like before doing all those things, the installer doesn't even start and fails with:
"Runtime Error (at 144:148)
Access Violation at adress 7C434000 in module 'gdiplus.dll'. Read of adress 1009F814."
This is what is happening in the console:
WINEPREFIX=/home/thom/.wine-nwn2 wine setup_nwn2_complete_2.1.0.6.exe

I downloaded gdiplus.dll and set the override to navite then builtin but still the same.
Anyone know how to fix this?

game crashes on start, installation doesnt work
by blq on Tuesday June 15th 2010, 5:22
This propably happens because of the copy protection of the dvd. I m also unable to copy the .cab files from the dvd to harddisk. I'm going to use some nocdfix.
dll overrides
by Bad Andy on Tuesday May 18th 2010, 11:47
So i got this working on ubuntu 10.04 with wine 1.1.44 but I have the problem where it is stuck on the lowest possible resolution and doesnt detect any other ones as possible. I don't understand how to apply the .dll overrides specified in the how-to, can anyone explain how to do that in a way a noob can understand, please?

nwn2 + bloom
by Daniel on Friday May 14th 2010, 5:17
Hello, I have what I consider to be a serious problem. I'm running nwn2 plus all expansions, under ubuntu 10.04 64 bit with nvidia drivers version 195.36.04, from the nvidia website.
Whenever I have bloom enabled and there is a weather effect like rain, the screen is flooded with white. I can't see anything whatsoever except the interface. This obviously happens in outdoor areas, and it is easily reproducible. Just type in the console DebugMode 1, and then rain 1 to reproduce. Does anyone else out there get this? There's no evidence that anyone else does, according to google.
Even without bloom enabled, rain makes the screen a fair bit brighter. I really have no clue why.
Toolset?
by John Koenig on Sunday March 14th 2010, 14:56
Hey all,
Is it possible to use the NWN2 Toolset under wine?
I have installed the app using the above procedure and the game itself runs pretty well.
The toolset however has bigger problems. When I try to create an area, for example, the area rendering window dominates the entire drawing area and I am unable to see buttons and tabs behind the directx drawing surface (they still react to events however). I see the below error messages:
fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION

Most probably hardware problem...
by Alessandro Accardo on Monday September 28th 2009, 3:10
Can you tell what type of hardware do you have?
I saw that ati graphics with amd processor don't work properly with wine and this game too.
I have an ATI Radeon X800GTO with 128 mb of vram and an amd athlon 64 x2 4200+ openSUSE 11.1 and wine 1.1.30, and this game won't work.
On my notebook that has intel core 2 duo and intel graphics with 128 mb it won't too.

Can play only in windowed mode
by Paolo on Monday September 21st 2009, 7:05
Hi there, first of all, thank you for this entry.
I can play nwn2 only in windowed mode, if I set the game to run in full screen, my gnome panels are still visible and I have to click game buttons when the cursor is not exactly over buttons, but when it's lightly below buttons.
No problems in window mode, the game runs really good, but I'd like to play in full screen.
Issue with toolset.
by crasher on Wednesday September 2nd 2009, 8:23
Im trying to launch the tooset NWN2ToolsetLauncher.exe with wine.
I have all libs installed, and previously succeeded to launch it with some minor issues.
I didn't tried it for a while and since had some updates from wine development packages.
.NET is installed
If I try to launch from command line, I get this exception :
Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.
at Microsoft.Win32.NativeMethods.NtQuerySystemInformation(Int32 query, IntPtr dataPtr, Int32 size, Int32& returnedSize)

at main(String[] args)
wine: Unimplemented function ntdll.dll.NtQuerySystemEnvironmentValue called at address 0x7bc3c480 (thread 0029),
It sounds like a regression, as previously I was able to launch the toolset but couldn't manage to open a module.
