this is a fairly simple problem, but it has been driving me up a wall trying to find a solution. I am running Nwn Prc on a netbook with the new APU processors, which has a built-in radeon graphics card.  It plays the game without a hitch on the max settings, but it takes too long to unpack the modules, and times out every time. What kills me is if it just waits another 10 seconds the darn thing would actually load (this judging by how long it takes modules to unpack in single player)

I can load single player just fine, but any multiplayer with Prc times out while unpacking. This happens even if I'm hosting a stand-alone game. I have windows firewall disabled, and no antivirus, and changed the default port. The netbook is running a bare minimum amount of processes. I just need to find a way to extend this timeout, or speed up the unpacking process. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Ps. this is a very cool mod, and I'm very excited to play nwn co-op style.

Post your logs & maybe your INI files.  What DB are you using?

Also, you are running NWNx2 right?

Since then I have tried resetting windows 7 to factory settings, and I thoroughly messed with the ini files. I have tried Nwn with both the 3.3 prc, and 3.5 prc. I have not used nwnx2 on this computer, but I have tried connecting it to nwnx2 running on another computer in the network. I have tried loading several chapters from the original campaign.

ok, I just tried starting nwnx2, and got some off errors about missing files, and unable to recognize java, which I don't understand, since java runtime is installed, and the character creator works fine.

So from the beginning here. If it doesn't work this time I blame you, not because its your fault, but your the DM, and I'm a player, and thats how us d&d players think. :o

I deleted the nwn folder, I ran the neverwinter uninstall, I searched the registry for 'nwn', 'prc' and 'never' strings. I deleted anything related to the game. I installed nwn diamond edition into a non-default directory(previous 50 installs were default). I ran the HOTU 1.69 patch. I reinstalled java.
I gave the game a little test run by going to multiplayer, and hosting a internet/lan game. It loads up nice and fast.
Now for prc, I install the program with setup3.5. I select prc_ocfix and then selected the nwn original campaign. I let it overwrite whatever pleased it.

I start it up, same problem. Freezes at unpacking module. Going to send ini files in another reply, and I'll try installing nwnx2 and joining a game hosted by this computer

nwnx2 crashes on loading a module. running the precompiler spits out errors about not finding 2da files, and 'java' is not a recignised command, again java is there, stupid computer

precacher says it can't find portraits, gender, appearance, soundset, wingmodel, and tailmodel 2da files
