Cross compatibility CD keys

Post by Ping14 » Mon Oct 04, 2021 7:57 pm

I recently installed NWN EE on my PC, and wanted to experience Arelith there aswell
NWN installed via Beamdog Client.
I found my CD keys in my android device (cdkey.ini)
Copy and pasted it on Documents/Neverwinter Nights/cdkey.ini
Started the game, but then it reverts back to the "new" CD key.

I wanted my desktop to be able to play the same account as my android, help, anyone?
*Tried wiki aswell, no changes, it still reverted to the "new" CD keys

Figured it out.
It has something to do with the beamdog client producing the CD key on starting multiplayer when run from there.
A work-around is to do the ff:
1. Replace cdkey.ini
2. Go to Beamdog Libary/00785/bin/win32 (this path could change depending on your OS, and where you path it)
3. Copy a shortcut of nwmain.exe (or just run it)
4. Run the game!

Don't use beamdog client. Its a pain.
