Here is a solution for some windows users:
1:) Find this file: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2:) Make a backup.
3:) Open it with a text editor.
4:) Add the following line at the bottom after the last #:
Code: Select all
#nwn2 bypass first login
0.0.0.0 nw2master.bioware.com
6:) ???
7:) Profit.
As a side note, this tends to only work on start ups. If you log out and try to log back in without closing nwn2, chances are you will be timing out again with the message, "master server down".
