Issues fixed
Crash on Start
- Try the following if the game won't start for some reason, or crashes shortly afterwards.
Multiplayer on the GOG.com version
When you initially download Neverwinter Nights Diamond from GOG.com, it does not initially support multiplayer as it does not come with a valid multiplayer CD key. You can request a valid serial key from GOG support here. Select "multiplayer key request" from the "I have a problem with:" dropdown menu and submit your support ticked. The support staff should reply with a valid CD key within a few days.
This will remove the "Premium modules" which come as part of the Diamond Edition. To reinstall these you must download the "premium modules re-installer" from the bonus content downloads section of the My Games page.
General Fixes for Poor Performance on Modern Systems
Neverwinter Nights does not run well on modern hardware and systems, and you may experience crashes or stuttering without properly preparing your game. Here are a list of fixes you may want to try. These were all tested on Windows 7 64-bit but may work for other systems.
