Good think you got it to work this time!

Actually with AMD/ATI cards, the open-source 'radeon' driver is usually a better deal than the fglrx driver. You might lose some performance (usually not with relatively old cards) but you will gain a lot in compatibility and stability.

Out if curiosity, are you using the ./play.it scripts or Ganni1987’s archive in the end?

The open source Radeon driver is what I ended up using in the end - the problem was I didn't clean out the proprietary ones properly and I think bits were hanging around, preventing the Radeon driver from using 3D acceleration.

.. and it was your .deb package I ended up using (is that what you mean by ./play.it scripts?) - so at the end of the day your package was all good - all I had to do was change the video driver.

Thanks again

Has anyone tried playing this in anything other than 800x600 resolution? If I try this, the screen shrinks and ends up mostly being cut off. Anyone else seen this / have a solution? Thanks...

I usually play this game in 1280×1024 (the native resolution of my screen) without any problem.
Could you share a screenshot of your issue? It might help understand what’s going wrong for you.

Been a while since I fired up the game but I was playing it at 1920x1080 without issues on Nvidia drivers. Maybe you have a scaling setting to do first? As vv221 suggested, posting a screenshot would help :)

Hello,

I'm trying to install this on a different PC using the links provided on http://wiki.dotslashplay.it/en/games/neverwinter-nights

The 'without movies' support, as I did originally (which is working great BTW. - and I sorted out that video resolution thing - it was just me being silly)

anyways, when I run the script to build the package, I get this - any ideas? I've tried downloading that file a couple of times - didn't help.

Also - I had to install innoextract as a dependency as well - might want to add that to the guide...

Thanks,


timw@jupiter:~/games/NWN$ sh ./play-neverwinter-nights_gog-2.0.0.15.sh

Can you check the integrity of the nwclientgold.tar.gz file with md5sum? You should get: If not, you will have to re-download this file.

Hi,

I get:

timw@neptune:~/games/nwn$ md5sum nwclientgold.tar.gz
c00d8d6cdfaf2a3e7e6a58961276d434 nwclientgold.tar.gz

I've downloaded it several times now - always with the same result.

The file seems OK - I can extract the contents fine and everythings looks OK (as far as I can tell anyways)...

If you want to give it a try with your file, run the script with the option '--checksum=none', it will bypass this check.

Actually I hacked your script to use the new checksum, and it worked.

I don't know - maybe that file has changed?

It doesn’t seem so: I don’t know why you don’t get the same result I got here.

I get the same:

timw@neptune:~$ curl http://nwdownloads.bioware.com/neverwinternights/linux/gold/nwclientgold.tar.gz | md5sum
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

0a059d55225fc32f905e86191d88a11f -


But then if I download and apply md5sum:

timw@neptune:~/Downloads$ md5sum nwclientgold.tar.gz
c00d8d6cdfaf2a3e7e6a58961276d434 nwclientgold.tar.gz

That’s strange indeed… I’ve no idea what’s going wrong here.

How are you downloading this? Definitely strange that you are consistently getting that other checksum. Seeing as curl seems to work for you on a different partition (or a different folder at least) try:

OK that gave me the 'correct' result.

I get the other value just downloading it with a browser.
