Selected Test Results

What works

Neverwinter Nights 2 OC, MotB, SoZ, MoW - tested beginnings. More extensive testing will follow.

What does not

GoG installer fails at the last stage with a four button window. Aborting it still installs the game properly.

ATI fglrx - bug 11583 happens if shadows are set to anything higher than Low. (which means character drop shadows only.)

Workarounds

What was not tested

Multiplayer. Further stages in game.

Whether it works without dll overrides.

HOWTO

Use of dll overrides "devenum.dll" and "dxdiagn.dll" may be necessary for the game to run.
Requires using winetricks to install directx9 and vcrun2005.
The following registry key changes are recommended (Use the command "wine regedit" and then add them as strings to the appropriate directory):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo
UseGLSL = enabled
VideoMemorySize = 256

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.
