I have downloaded both mine and wifes games to puters Mine lets me in and plays no problem. However when I click to enter NWN for the wifes puter I get a pop up error box says that the nwmain.exe error. Cant get past the main load screen let alone to the Loging page! Any clues please let me know cause we would like to get back onto our mains Ricky and Electra Fears! Thank You my lovely HG family for taking time to read and possible fixes hope to see all SOOOOON!!

I'll occasionally get errors related to NWN, but they have never actually caused the game to close. Have you tried using the modified client executable (of if you already are, have you tried replacing it with the original that was installed with the game)?

You should go to your NWN directory (default I believe is C:\Neverwinter Nights\NWN) and place the file there. Note that if you try to load the game through the launcher, it will try to open nwmain.exe. If you want to avoid this, rename nwmain.exe to nwmain.exe.bak and rename nwmain-169-hg.exe to nwmain.exe.
But I would recommend just double-clicking nwmain-169-hg.exe once it is in your NWN folder to see if it works, before you go renaming anything.

Have you tried running the game on a fresh install to see if it will load before getting patched? Or, for that matter, have you patched the game to 1.69 already? If not, I recommend checking out the Getting Started page to download the files you need.

Have you tried running Arf2.
Am not sure if this will help any but I had a guild member who couldn't get past a certain point when he reinstalled, he downloaded ARF2 and ran the update and got into game fine.
Different problem but maybe same cure?
