Can't launch DM client from GOG NWN2
I have NWN2 running on 3 machines. My 2 laptops are fine
But the desktop in my office launches NWN2 from a desktop shortcut called "Neverwinter Nights 2 Complete" that bypasses the choice for DM Client and launches the game in player mode.
I was hoping someone could help me out.
(By explaining the fix to me as if I were a kindergartner)

The shipped updater won't work. Atari stopped supporting the game ages ago. GOG should get you going however.
Go to the NWN2 install folder, and make a shortcut to nwn2main.exe
Right-click the shortcut, and under the target field, add " -dmc" to the end. E.g.:
If you are using the Client Extension (you should), then it is instead:
Go to the NWN2 install folder, and make a shortcut to nwn2main.exe
Right-click the shortcut, and under the target field, add " -dmc" to the end. E.g.:
Code: Select all
"D:\Games\Neverwinter Nights 2\nwn2main.exe" -dmc
Code: Select all
"D:\Games\Neverwinter Nights 2\NWLauncher.exe" -dmc

Oh yeah. We were trying to do video tutorials before. Here's one for the Client Extension that also covers how to make shortcuts to the game and DM client: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15iGkEk1fqQ

Re: Can't launch DM client from GOG NWN2
Thanks for helping .... I think I am making progress.
I at least figured out that I had to D/L the client extension. I d/ld and then dragged it to desktop.
Now I get a "Couldn't locate clientextension.hdl. You should put it in the same location as NWNLauncher"
Also, my "properties" tab shows no option for "shortcut". I have general, compatibility, security, details, previous versions to choose from.
Again sorry for being so slow ... I really appreciate the help.
