No matter what server I try and direct connect to I get a timeout message. I don't know what to do or what the problem might be. I'm connecting the same way I did years ago only there are no internet connections like their use to be. So I am trying to connect directly and nothing is happening. I was able to connect earlier this year and I saw all my toons, I just had problems with my CD Key. I am running windows 10 now and I have a new computer. Is there some way I can connect to the servers with out using the in game way of connecting? If not can any of you think of a reason why I'm not able to connect?

Are you using ARF2? It's listed in the joining a server section here: wiki.hgweb.org/wiki/Getting_StartedFull disclosure, I'm just coming back as well and haven't actually gotten in game yet as I'm waiting on a CD Key clear. I was able to list my toons yesterday though.

Try to restart PC + router fix a lot, try that first.
If you are using new keys + old login name, that would not function.

Thanks for the info guys that really helped! Now I can start the game through arf2 and I seem to be connecting to the server but when I choose a character the game shuts down! Any thoughts?

That's where I am at currently. Hoping it is resolved by a CD Key reset, which I know I need.

ok here is a new twist. When I restart my computer and restarted ARF2 the game would not load, so I went into the game to see what is up and it required me to enter the original cd keys again. I don't know what the deal is with that, I'm getting very frustrated. Is anyone else having thses problems?

Ok I don't know where I am going wrong. If I remove the generic cd keys the game comes with it won't run. ARF boots up but when I go to connect to the server the game doesn't load. I don't know what to do! Somebody help me! I have spent the better part of the day trying to get this game working!

I'd post in the Spotlessly Clean Oubliette for a CD Key clear, and not worry about anything until that happens. I'm not going any farther until my key gets cleared, but I think we're at the same spot right now so I wouldnt worry too much.

Well I don't know what I did. I can't seem to get the game to run using ARF2. I don't know what I did right to get the game to run on ARF2, and I don't know what happened to make it stop working. HELP! There really should be a video on how to get this game up and running. Help Help Help!

Perhaps the smoothest solution would be to do a full re-install of NWN, and then try and install the HG stuff manually (instructions are here).

I got the same CD-Key message and pop-up to retype it when I borked my cd-key file a few years ago. The new key is on the GOG site now, if I understood it correctly, so might not need to wait on a key.
Go to the GOG site, and then to your Library. Click on "Neverwinter Nights Diamond", then click the MORE button and go to "Serial Keys"

OK! Here is where I am regarding the installation. I deleted NWN and reinstalled it. I manually installed the TLK and HAK files and then ARF@ worked and updated them from there. What I don't understand is why when I go to connect to the server nothing happens. It's like the game begins to load and then crashes. Someone on here must have an answer as to why the game will not launch! HELP! HELP! HELP!

My suggestion was to ignore ARF altogether - try just installing the files manually (following the link I gave), and then open NWN normally and use Direct Connect to one of the servers?

It's like the game begins to load and then crashes. There is a difference between crashing to desktop (generic error) and being booted to Main Menu with "You have been booted." message. Which one happens to you? If it crashes to desktop, do you see the loading screen at all? Does it finish loading? Also if you use ARF it's more difficult to diagnose because it skips the Main Menu entirely, so it's crashing to desktop instead of showing you the "You have been booted." message. Try what Poli said. Don't use ARF, try it the proper way and post results.
