All D&D classics up to 60% off this weekend during our 3rd birthday celebration!

Thanks guys really appreciate your response.

Heheh, actually I'm kind of even more screwed because I bought the whole pack and heard about these games. Been looking for Witcher and I really need to check out that Two Worlds II on GameTap. I think I'll try that one as my next RPG before cracking up these probably aweasome D&D games. (Still yet to decide which one to start with =P)

Where did you download it from? I assume your NWN version is not NWN Diamond then (because Kingmaker should be included with that and for me it seems to work)?

In any case, Kingmaker is not one of the three unavailable Premium modules with online authentification DRM that I was referring to. Those three are Pirates of the Sword Coast, Wyvern Crown of Cormyr and Infinite Dungeons.

It is possible that the 1.69 patch in some cases breaks modules that were created in much earlier version, but you'd probably only notice while playing, and most of the times there are fixes for it; I don't think it would affect installation. I'm no expert, of course, but my guess would be that this error on installation is caused by something else ...

EDIT: When exactly do you get that error message? When trying to load the module or before? What does it say?

Stupid me, you are quite right. Fired up the game and Kingmaker is indeed there. I had tried to install it from the download on GOG's extra content.

It still doesn't work though. Apparently authentication fails. But if it's included in the Diamond version it should work anyway, shouldn't it?

I'm getting Error 110623, and am then told I am being sent to the demo version of the module.

Yeah, that's very strange. As far as I know there should be no authentification whatsoever. Did you load it in Single Player or Multiplayer mode? SP should work without authentification; if you tried MP - did you request and use a MP key from GOG?

EDIT:
I tried loading Kingmaker both connected to the internet and offline and both worked for me, even though the loading time on my netbook was considerable (1-3 minutes), so that at first I was under the impression the game was stalled or had crashed.

I didn't get any messages about errors, authentification or playing the demo, but I checked the Premium module folder and discovered a readme talking about these things, which is news to me since I wasn't aware Kingmaker ever required online activation. I don't remember any of that from the retail version; I'd need to compare to the installation of the retail NWN Diamond on my desktop at home, but I can't do it before next week.

Could it be that the GOG installation is based not on the possibly DRM-free retail Kingmaker but on a download version of the Premium module pack that required online authentification? Hm ... If more users like you have issues with it, that would mean that this package isn't really DRM-free like the GOG philosophy promises. :-/

I suspect you're having problems because you installed the downloaded version over the version that came bundled in the GoG version. Backup your characters and saves, plus any modules or other content you might have built, and if you have one your "server vault" and "local vault" folders. Uninstall. Erase the folder C:\\Nevereinter Nights. Reinstall. Add your backed up folders.

Darn promo was too great to pass up. Not only do I own all of these on disc, I own multiple copies of BG1, BG2, IWD1, IWD2, PST, NWN, and ToEE. Oh GOG....thou art the great breaker of my bank...

Something went awry. Uninstalled and reinstalled and now it seems to work. Maybe it was because I downloaded the 1.69 patch and ran that (because I heard some files in GOG 1.69 were not updated properly).

In any case it seems to work now. Thanks.

Bring this back! I waited a year for a sale on these games and missed it due to a ridiculously hectic work-weekend. One day? Pretty please?

Congratulations GOG! Thanks for the great deals, and even more thanks for the free "6 million downloads" game. This was a good week for GOG!

Greetings Gonchi.

You have to understand (to which I'm almost positive that you already do), that Gog.Com goes out of their way to make sure these games are DRM free. The way it always should have been. To not penalize the consumer in shelling out their honest to goodness money and wealth.

Just relax, my friend.

CDProjekt has always went out of their way to bring forth in which how they believe games should be played, and for that they should be credited for bringing back the old ways. Viciously standing up against industry standards with a lot of courage.. I try not to tend to look a "gift-horse in the mouth" so to speak.

Long live Gog.Com. And I do hope that you continue purchases here at their website despite what you mentioned earlier. These people really do care about their customers.

Best wishes and regards.

Waited for a long time here as well. When the sale happens I am on holiday in Mauritus?! Trying to get an UK credit-card to work from there was hassle with the slow internet they had, but managed it.

I don't appreciate being preached at. I like GOG and support them how and when I can. To some dropping $35 in the blink of an eye might not make a difference, to me it means I can't make another purchase for a good long while.

I'm sorry that I came off as being "preachy" in my post. It wasn't my real intention although I can clearly see that it did come off as that. I apologize.

One more time, one more time, one more time!

:-)

Any chance we could see this sale happen again?

I think it's high time for a Vivendi sales. Lot's of 9,95's there.
I already own most games, but with dreadful installers on the CD that check for totally outdated standards, like DirectX 3.0 or (...Shudder...) Quicktime 2.x.

I would pretty like to see another 60% off weekend with all those Games again.!

Wait for the Christmas sales

that's your best chance

And like last year it may only last a day, be on the ball, read the announcement post.
