Kelgan is in my server vault

Post by Gold »

I grouped with Chemical today and now his character Kelgan is in my server vault. Also, my nwn2 game keeps crashing. I have logged out to hopefully limit the spread of what ever is going on.

Note: Earlier today I saw "rdufreche" on with a character named Kelgan. His account may be affected too.

Two players behind the same router need to configure their games to use different ports. If both are using 5121, this character duplication can happen. If you play with one or more partners in the same place, please configure your games to use different ports. Players failing to do so will be temporarily banned until this is resolved.

No, it was not you Gold, it was someone else. It can mess stuff up for lots of people when it happens! I think they figured out who it was though, so I believe Wired has stemmed the bleeding :)

Yeah the dupe Kelgans have been shown the recycle bin.

FYI:

If you have multiple computers behind a firewall and you want to play multiplayer with 2 or more of them at the same time, you must ensure the Client Port setting for each computer is set to a different value. You will find this entry in the file nwnplayer.ini (located in “My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\”). Double click on it to open it, and look for the Client Port= line in the [Profile] section. Change this from the default value of 5120 on each machine. You have to stay in a certain range, so use numbers like 5121, 5122, 5123, etc.
