Crashing Problem
-
I've tried everything I can think of, so I'll take any help on this that I can get.
I reformatted my computer yesterday and redownloaded NwN from GoG.com. Replaced the default GoG CD key with my unique one. Ran the Critical Rebuild, and used the Auto-Installer to get all of the Haks for CoA. As far as I know, all of my drivers are functional and up to date. My firewall is set to ignore NwN.
However, whenever I try to log into the server- I get only as far as the character vault. I can see all of my characters- but whenever I hit "play", I immediately crash out without any sort of error message. The game just dies. It never tries to load Road to Arabel. Same with every character- and I have already tried lowering all graphics to their lowest settings without success (and graphics were never a problem for my machine before anyway). I can run singleplayer NwN fine- it only does this when I try to log in to CoA (though I haven't tried any other multiplayer servers yet).
I've tried reinstalling the game a couple times, erased and redownloaded the haks a few times. I'm stumped.
Anything I've missed?

1. Do other games have any problems?
2. Try deleting your override folder and your hak folder, and redownloading using the auto-installerSince single player works, it is likely something to do with CoA-only variables. Make sure your CD key is correct. Double check that. Its either CD keys or haks, imo. Could be a corrupted hak, so try redownloading.

No other games have problems. I've also tried downloading the Haks for a different server and I have logged in there successfully, so it's gotta be something CoA-specific, but I have deleted my override and hak folder a couple different times and redownloaded without success. I've also tried logging in with characters that should be on the Road to Arabel, which I am told I should be able to access even without haks- and I have no luck. It doesn't even get as far as the "loading area" screen.
As far as I know, the CD keys I am using should be fine. They are the same ones I had before and are entered correctly.

Delete you dialog.tlk file from the nwn directory. Then run the downloaded. Make sure all instances of nwn including the toolset are shutdown during the process. Make sure your in compatibility mode.
You could also be getting booted by the password protection system as it may be confused and think you are trying to steal your own characters
Make sure your cd key is the same one you used to create your characters.A dm can (once the fix tool is re installed, it was removed from resman during the server crash fest, the code is still held though) fix you using a tool without you being logged in, by resetting your character passwords if this is the problem.

I'd try a blank (sorry) account and a new char to see if it is.

You might have swapped the CD keys. NWN still works, Arabel still works, Zool's (Bacon's) protection system triggers.

Ah, it turns out my characters were made under a much older CD key. Had to work a bit to track it down.
Your defenses work, anyway.

Target neutralised.
Also, the reason you just get booted (and nwn crashes for me if I boot myself, FYI) without even getting in, is because there are "things" you can do if you can get to the character at all, even for seconds.
