Ok so Atari somehow managed to damage the game even more(dem pro strats). So I'll be showing here how to make a shortcut that bypasses all that nonsense and gets you connected right away(no bullsh**).
First of all you need to navigate to your nwn folder---->
----------------------------------------------------->
----------------------------------------------------->
----------------------------------------------------->
Now you create a shortcut of your nwmain.exe in the nwn folder.
----------------------------------------------------->
Now you move the shortcut you just created to your desktop(so you can just double click for much improved efficiency goodness!
)
----------------------------------------------------->
Now we go to the properties of the shortcut to make the required revisions in "target" field.
----------------------------------------------------->
We do
NOT clear out the information already there
----------------------------------------------------->
Just add the direct connect IP of the server after +connect to the target field of the shortcut
----------------------------------------------------->
