Instaling NWN on Linux

1

Does anyone here know how to Install Never Winter Nights Platinum Edition on Linux (specificly Ubuntu 5.10)? I have tried the method provided by Bioware (NWN’s makers) but it doesn’t work :td:

Any help/links to help would be appreciated.

Also, i’m new to Linux! So make sure its linux noob friendly! =)

I don’t know. But I hear the game rocks. BTW, doesn’t it make you mad that theres a lot of programs you have to go out of you way to, or can’t install on Linux. i think someone needs to start a penguin revolution…:wink:

Or you can install Windows and play it on there like it’s supposed to be.

It is a good game, it has a thriveing multiplayer community which has kept it alive and it still gets updates from Bioware! I’m hopeing devlopers will start to take Linux into account and provide options for those with the OS. Start the revolution Blazes! :smiley:

Maxtr0sity, i do currently play it on windows, but why would i want to keep supporting microsoft?

I don’t think you’re directly supporting Microsoft by playing a game on it, you’re only using the best avaliable platform to play it on, why waste your time to port it to something else it wasn’t designed to? Just seems like a waste of time to me.

Oh yes. It’s starting. [whisper]website: pending[/whisper]

What’s your problem specifically? I may be able to help if it’s easy. Alternatively, you may want to head over to http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ . They have a specific section JUST for linux games and another one for beginners.

Because they’re the developers of the only OS you can easily play the game you want on?

My problem is the install guide for NWN from the distributers (Bioware) requires a 1.2GB download, which i can’t and refsue to do (it has other methods which i did try). So basicly i need an alternate install guide, i have heard there are some, but my few google searches have returned naught (well, nothing helpfull).

Thanks for the link.
