Error 404 = file not found.

Hak server was probably down. You can retry at longer increments to see if it gets life back into it; I'm getting a ping at the server right now, fwiw, but I'll see what I can stir up.

Auto-downloader working these days?

Got a new version of NWN2 installed. Can log-in ... started with d/l of ALFA Haks but get an error ... multiple attempts failed


Thoughts?

The best idea I can offer is to log into the discord NWN2 alfa2-tech channel, where hak literate people reside. Link in the sidebar of the website home page. http://www.alandfaraway.info/

I recently downloaded the haks via autodl for the first time in a while and it functioned for me, so I know it works.

Also, HI!!!!
Enjoy the game

Do you know which hak it's breaking on? That can help us pin the problem down
People talk of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as man, so artistically cruel.

Problem solved....


I'm not very techy, so my explanation might be simple, ... but in an effort to help someone who might have this issue in the future I'll try to explain.


It had something to do with a feature called "Direct Play" ... some kind of legacy software that Windows blocks from Windows 10.

And that was combined with a known Windows 10 bug in which the ability to turn features on and off just hangs up blank.

It required some Run:CMD action (which always makes me nervous) ... and a restart ...

but that fixed it.


( and I got in ... of course I log in with Hully and he's down in the UD at Barren Rock ... which I used to totally remember how to get out to the surface from ... but now have no clue ;) )

Oh awesome news! Do you have that command written out anywhere so we can keep it for further reference?

Also I bet we could launch an expedition down to Barrenrock to hopefully help you out there...

But I was able to get Hully up from the UD without dying.
