Server still alive?

[Khaine]

Hey, it's been a few years since last I checked in on the server.

I recently re-installed NWN and was wondering if there's still active players on the server? Judging by the posts on the forum, there seems to be some players still active, but I can't find the server on NWNList, and I haven't been able to log onto the server. I tried direct connect using "gvm.publicvm.com" as hostname, but it says connection failed.

If there's still life on the server I'd love to come back to it again, as it was one of my all-time favourite NWN servers.

Server is alive and well, but it moved to NWN: EE so you need to get that first. It should appear on the list then. Also after that you just PM Grey to get your old toons back.

Mmm, well I can't get any online lists to work for me for whatever reason. When I connect to multiplayer I just get a message saying failed to connect, try another nick. I can however direct connect to some servers.

I'm guessing the hostname posted many years ago is outdated. Got any up-to-date hostname i can direct connect to?

The server address should be the same.

The server shows up in this list? https://nwn.beamdog.net/

Just search for lotr, but again, you need to buy NWN: EE and then install CEP to login.
CEP installation differs if you buy the game from Steam or GOG.

How does the CEP install differ? I bought NWN:EE from GOG and installed CEP normally into the "C:\Spill\GOG Galaxy\Games\NWN Diamond" directory (as instructed in the readme).


The IP i found for the server on the beamdog site for GvM is 94.211.108.233, which gives me the error message:

Connection to server has failed.
Connection error: Server is not responding (timed out).

Hmm that's weird, maybe a port issue? Server is up and running

The steam version you need to subscribe to cep in steam workshop.

I dunno, there's no port listed on the IP on the beamdog site for GvM. Some googling suggested trying to create a NWN folder in Documents and using a launch command to force the game to use that folder, but that didn't work either.

[Thiagow2008]

Try using the port 5121 for that ip address.

Nope, still getting the same error... says server found and then attempting to connect for a few seconds, then connection failed and server not responding.
