Heya,
Not sure if my problem correlates to this one, but seems the closest thread to what I'm finding. Ive downloaded and installed the necessary CEP and just did the 1.69 update. I try to join the HG servers and I either get cant because the server times out or I get to my character list, select one to log on with and the server times out. They show as being active but I cant seem to log on.
Not sure what might be wrong. Any suggestions?
Cheers Bindibadgi2

So Ahala did a Stygia run last night…
We were sailing along just fine, despite the pathing issues in the halls and the constant pushing and shoving. We got up to the boss room and all stoped to discuss the situation…
We all agreed.. We would place a fire wall up at the farthest corner in the room to give us an edge and then due to pathing, we would single file in with a tank leading and a tank in the rear…
I have two serious concerns:
1) Half our team got locked in the hall (pathing again) due to the spawn insta-appearing right on top of us. We had a tank that outright could not get into the room until our cleric miracled to get the spawn to scatter enough to fit into the doorway.
2) I have some concern with the anti-pull scripts… If we get a player stuck outside the area designated and we lose a tag I’d be most upset.
The run went successfully. We had one that did not get the tag due to pathing boxing him in the hall, and limboing, but we did pull the run off.
I will not pretend to know the ins and outs of programming for pathing but it is a serious problem in certain situations.
Possible fixes: On certain boss maps could you make the spawn activate with pedestals like tiamat? More than 4 pedestals (to assure difficulty in pre-fight setup) is reasonable.. just an opportunity to get the team in the room is all I’m asking for.
Cheers, Mortis

Was this not you, or was this one of the times you logged in and it failed? I checked and it looks like you are not being blocked by our double login blocker (an occasional cause of timeouts on login). The only other thing I can think of that might cause this is a corrupt installation or corrupt copy of CEP. I'm sure it'll be annoying, but would it be possible for you to try reinstalling NWN, then install the critical update, then CEP 2.1, then (if you use it) HG Enhanced in that order? Don't forget to save your nwncdkey.ini file! Acaos

I thought HG enhanced was mandatory now

No; HG Enhanced is not and will never be mandatory. We don't want anyone to have to download anything but the CEP to play (though the CTP (Community Tileset Project) is tempting to have sometimes, especially now that it has been resurrected).

Acaos,
Is the pathing Change you made only on server 117 at this time?

DOH. My bad. Stryker just showed me on 117 and it's better than good! When would these be done on the other servers?
My apoligies to you all and thanks for the awsome work!

If I have to reinstall everything I'll give it a go. And thanks for the advice btw. Just to give some more feedback, I tried againthis morning to log on. I created a new character and could log on just fine. But when I tried to log on with my 60th level characters, or indeed any character I had made prior to the new patching etc, the game took forever to try and log me on, and eventually the server just timed out. Might be some sort of compatability issue between old characters and the new stuff. I suppose Id like one last bit of feedback before I go through the grind of reinstalling everything. If what I have described above confirms this is what needs to happen, then goodo - I'll set aside a few days to get it done Cheers Bindibadgi PS just to add to the wierdness, I just tried again to log that new character i made on, and all the servers have timed out for me. Maybe the hamster in the wheel that powers Australia's internet connections has died? PPS sorry to be a noob but what is the NWN extender? -winces having to ask- YAY - I can log onto 117 with old and new characters. Thank you Acaos! Looks like those modifications on 117 seem to solve the problem. And thank you for your help!

Question - did you use the NWN Extender on any of your old characters? Also, could you try logging in to 117? We have some enhanced logging there in place (for the pathing test fix) and that might show something.
Thanks, Acaos

I tried to find where I think i saw this but....anywho.... My dwarven batterager seems to be running stiff armed, hes the only toon I have run with since the update, so maybe this is a lil pre-mature.
also, I most likely did something wrong, but not sure just what that might be....colorized icons not showing anymore. Thanx!

Post by chirikov on Aug 5, 2008 0:39:32 GMT
your battlerager being 'stiff armed' is simply due to the hotu animations (you no longer have the animation fix installed)
the 1.69 patch renamed your override folder and created a new one in its stead, so you will need to copy the colorized icons back into your new override folder

I was checking out some of the new helm and cloak options and when I got to 3 of the helms my character had a bag on his head instead of a helm. Also, I seem to be missing several cloak because when I try looking at the cloaks there are several that don't show anything even though the index number changes. I was wearing crafted armor at the time, not sure if that effected it.
Btw, I am having the same problem as Star is. I'll be trying some of the suggestions posted above and see what I can get to work.

Acaos may be better able to speak to this, but it's possible that bioware did not find and fix ALL the animation issues that caused crashes. You can experiment with putting the animation fix back in to see if this stops it, though this will mean those two robes will go back to unwearable-looking. Funky Thanks for the response Funky, don't know if it makes a difference, but the kind of crash I am getting is the game completely freezes and the only exit left me is ctrl alt dlt end task. Two nights in a row have noted that the game freezes when leaving Dark Templars through the bank portal. Lock up happens midway through loading transition screen.
