Problems post-patch

[EZ_Grendl Nighthunter]

Yesterday, for the first time, I patched NWN. It went thru & patched everything AOK. Now, prior to my patching it, I would click play, & the NWN log splash screen would come up, disappear, & then a few seconds later, the Atari & other brand names (full screen)splash screens would come up. Post patch, I would click play, the NWN logo appears, & then, instead of going to the company splashes, it just sits at my desktop, HD whirring. There is no icon on my toolbar, & the cursor isnt a loading cursor, just a regular arrow.

I had to re-install the game to get it to work, has anyone else had a similar problem??? Help!!! I cant do multiplayer until this is resolved!!! ARGH!

There was new code introduced by securom the day before the executable for v1.21 of NWN was encrypted. It has caused some new problems with the copy protection. First off, ensure you are using the legit play disc as a "backup cd" won't work any more.

Also, if you have two CD drives on the same IDE channel, try physically unplugging one of them, and then starting NWN. If that works, you *should* be able to plug the other drive back in after the first authentication of the play disc. ----------------------
