"Delete Character" issue on login

Post by Rask » Mon Aug 20, 2018 3:17 am

I have tried 3 times to make a new character and connect to the server, every time I am finished making a character and click "play" it kicks me back out to the server select screen and says "Delete Character" in a box. This makes no sense to me, I cannot seem to get into the server at all. Anyone else have this problem before? I am using NWN EE first time trying to play online since buying the EE.

Hi Rask,

Please have a look at the following thread: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=17387

This may help you solve your connection issues. However, the "Delete Character" message is usually specific to you using a non-unique player account name on Arelith. If it is already taken, it will not let you create the character. Try using a different name.

If you accidentally checked the box off, go into your nwnplayer.ini file in your Documents, and remove the username after PlayerName=

I may have used the character name at some point, long ago in the past when I played NWN online before, it was so many years ago I dont remember if i've been to Arelith before or not. So I may be at odds with my own old username.

Now I get "Player login refused, you cannot play that character" when I try to leave the starting zone. I am off to a good start.

Is this a character that you merged over, or a brand new character?

Do you have haks installed?

If you had a character under that login before EE, but deleted it and the login account was empty, you still can't use it anymore. It seems you have to have a pre-EE character in the vault to keep the login name.

I had this issue and it was fixed by editing the player account name in "nwnplayer.ini" in your "Documents/Neverwinter Nights" folder to something more unique. It seems it is the global player account name and not specific character names that caused this issue.
