Game looking for Gamespy servers

Post by Diilicious » Sat Jan 20, 2018 11:15 am

is there a way to make logging into the game faster? it normally hangs for 20-30 seconds looking for servers that no longer exist. can this be remedied somehow?

Add this to your hosts file:

0.0.0.0 nwmaster.bioware.com
0.0.0.0 nwn.master.gamespy.com
0.0.0.0 peerchat.gamespy.com

Google host file and your windows version to find its location.

Well, when the EE comes out this problem should go away. As the game will no longer be looking for Gamespy servers that no longer exist, but instead will implement something else fr multiplayer, if Im not mistaken.

Direct connecting skips all the connection nonsense, if you create a shortcut to NWNmain and add the following in the target section "+connect game.arelith.com:5123" just be sure theres a space between the .exe and the +connect.
