Running on a non-primary partition/hard disk
In Windows, if you are running Neverwinter Nights 2 off of any drive other than the C: drive, there are special system requirements for the game. In addition to the 5.5 GB of free hard-disk space required to install the game on your selected drive, you will need an additional 2-5 GB of free hard disk space on drive C: during run-time. Not having 2-5 GB free on drive C: while playing Neverwinter Nights 2 can cause the following issues:
- Unable to Left-Click in main campaigns
- Unable to use Actions in main campaigns
- Unable to exit first room in main campaigns
- Able to complete tutorial, but upon completion the game will not load the main campaigns.
