Ok, I've got a good one for you. The game won't install.
About a third of the way through my installation, the following error comes up:
CRC error: The file C:\Program Files\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\Data\NWN2_Models.zip doesn't match the file in the setup's .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup may be corrupted; contact your software vendor.
I have three options. 'Abort', which cancels the installation, 'Retry' which brings up the same error message again, and 'Ignore' which carries on the installation, but when I load the game, I see no models, just the interface and things like light sources and effects with a lot of dark space.
I'm not the only one with this problem. It seems to be mostly among owners of the European edition. I have tried:
Swapping my disk at the shop (same error with the new disk)
Copying the files from the DVD to my HD and installing from there (same error)
Updating my drivers, installation software etc. (no change)
Disabling all virus checkers, things that emulate, write, share or anything at all (not that I really have much in the way of these, and it didn't change anything anyway.)
My PC is less than 3 months old, has decent specs which are all well over what the game needs. I have not had any problems with my DVD drive in the past.
I can't install the patch because it stops when it tries to patch the Models file, complaining it's corrupted and the patching muct be aborted.
The only people who've managed to get the game working with this problem so far are people who have things like a spare DVD drive to connect up and install from.
I think that the Critical rebuild would fix this, but of course, it's not up yet. I've been trying to fix this for two solid days now, it's pretty frustrating.
