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.

The auto updater worked fine for me when I right click on it and checked delicate Internet and save patches
no direct3d error
by Grzes on Wednesday November 7th 2007, 16:01
It says in spanish that there is no Direct3d device detected. Damnit. I even run World of Warcraft without any problems today (at 1st try1!!!) but it uses OpenGL.. Any idea how to get Direct3D to work? I tried changing options in winecfg but it does not help :/. i Have Wine 0.9.9 on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. Please help!
NWN2 version 1.04.870 works on SuSE 10.2.

Got it working with full 3d. Pretty impressive. The movies play better here than they did on my win2k install, and the 3D parts are very playable. Not sure how to view my frames per second display yet, but it feels smooth and is very playable.
Settings:
Win Version: win98, 2000, or XP all work for me.
Lib Overrides: devenum, dxdiagn
Graphics: 1024x768 desktop
Vertex: Hardware
Pixel Shaders: on
Audio: Alsa, full, 22050, 8bit/sample (some might
need emulation. I didn't.)
Steps:
1: Backup and delete your old .wine directory.
2: Run winecfg to set up the settings above and
create a new fresh ~/.wine dir.
3: run "regedit" and add the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\UseGLSL enabled
4: copy devenum.dll and dxdiagn.dll to:
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
5: Install NWN2. (I copied all CDs to a directory first)
6: Copy d3dx9_30.dll, devenum.dll, dxdiagn.dll,
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest, msvcm80.dll,
msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll to nwn2 install directory.
7: copy game patches into nwn2 install dir:
nwn2_pc_english_from100788_to104860.zip
nwn2_pc_english_from104860_to104870.zip
8: "cd" to nwn2 dir and run "wine NWN2Launcher.exe"
9: Click update and let it finish. Click done.
10: Click update again and let it finish. Click done. Game
should now be updated to newest version.
12: Rename nwn2main.exe and nwn2main_xp.exe to nwn2main.exe.bak
and nwn2main_xp.exe.bak, respectively.
11: Copy nocd patched nwn2main.exe, and nwn2main_xp.exe for
game version 1.04.870 to nwn2 directory.
12: Run the game.
13: In game options, turn off shadows and object highlighting.
14: Play the game. The end.
Worked for me. Your mileage may vary.
Note: People getting the "No Direct3D" warning need to turn on GLSL in the wine registry.
