hopefully thats a joke, because every nwn1 and nwn2 PW has always had a donation section on the forums. the developers still have to pay for bandwidth and in some cases a cooling room. bills are quite expensive. anythings possible i guess, but one of scripters said its unlikely that will work. im starting to think there is something wrong with our Devs computers. there might be some kind of memory leak or something. thus causing the server to have so many random crashes. i'll have to wait and see.

our server is The Forgotten Realm, we have over 12,000 registered users. the server almost always has the most players on a daily basis. you cant just ban a player for having files in their override folder. that would be time consuming and it would turn away players. without players, there no donations. my understanding is that the overrides are loaded last and will override the haks anyways, thus still making the use of Haks meaningless. i mean seriously, do PWs have to create their own override sweeper program to remove unwanted files? why cant some brilliant programer create a plugin for Audolo or Worldgate to sweep each players files and remove the overrides prior to updating? this is the only way that will work and i cant find anyone who is even interested. if someone can take the time to create Audolo and Worldgate, i dont know why they dont take the time to create this. this is something that is definietly needed.

I wish I knew why the developer doesnt want to use Haks. But I need someone who knows what they're talking to respond with tons of info. I would like to know if Obsidian recommends that ever PW use haks for security purposes and to help more stability. I think the only way he'll be convinced is to hear it from obsidian themself I guess. I understand Haks are something we can do, is there anything else? I've heard some PWs running some kind of plugin utility to help Obsidian find bugs and such, is this true?

I'm a DM on one of the PWs for NWN2, my concern is regarding the stability issues that are still present on servers. From my experience, I've notice many stability issues related to players jumping PWs and still having overrided 2da files, which seem to cause majority of the random crashes. I've also learned that there isnt any security from stoping players from having these files during charcter creation and logging into the server. I know by creating Hak 2da files for your PW will help with some stability issues, but what do you do when the Dev absolutely hate the idea of using Haks? How do you stop players from having these overrides and are there any other methods or tips to help our PW distinguish override crashes from scripting crashes or transition crashes. What are some suggestions that we can do to help make our PW more stable. I would be willing to work with anyone who can help us.

Hello, I am a Staff member of The Forgotten Realm server for NWN2. Our head creator of the server, Tyler (aka Hari Seldom) has been working with you guys on fixing a problem regarding the ranger class crashing servers when trying to level past 13. I know you guys are working on fixing this problem in the new patch 1.05. We have discovered there is another problem similar to this with the Druid class now. It may be related to the ranger bug but we are unsure. It may however be related to polymorphing. This seems to happen when palyers are leveling between 7-11. Another bug we found was the spell Creeping Doom. When a player casts this on another player and he dies, then respawns and continues to take damage for about 3 deaths in a row. There has been a very long and waiting bug to be fixed, but any buff spell such as flame, enchantment, bless, holy sword (ect. that gives weapon or armor bonus) will seem to reset its duration or stay permenantly buffed upon a server reset or crash. Heres another problem players are having, not sure if this is related to picking Practiced Spellcaster, Persistent Spell, or Spellcasting Prodigy feats. I'm not quite sure yet what he picked or even picked for that matter where these feats. RavenBlackheart wrote:
