If you read my post a few days ago you know that I can't load NWN. I am wondering if it is because one or more of my CD's are corrupt so I thought about getting either the Diamond or Plantinum edition of the game new. However, I've heard that the Diamond edition is Atari's concoction and they have put their own security garbage on the disks and can cause issues. Is this true?
What would you suggest? [ 08-27-2006, 08:58 PM: Message edited by: Albromor ] |

I haven't heard, but I have the platinum edition installed on this rig, and I run just fine.

robertthebard, thanks for the reply. Does the plantinum edition have anything else besides the OC and both expansions?

Corrupt discs, as in damaged/scratched? I don't think the game would install normally if it was so. And anyway if it is, maybe it would be better to buy one of those CD repair kits rather than a whole new game?

It has a few of the earlier Developer mods on it, The Dark Ranger's Treasure, The Winds of Eormore (sp), and one other one I believe. Considering the cost of replacing the game individually, it's a lot cheaper, and it's all on three discs instead of 5.

I have the Diamond edition and have had no problems whatsoever. Of course I have only been playing regularly for a week and a half. ;~) It has the expansions as well as Kingmaker, To Heir is Human, Winds of Eremor and the Dark Ranger (if memory serves).

The Diamond ed. is indeed an atari thing, and they did add some junk to the security so much so that its rendered difficult for some people to play it out of the box. However, I hear that all it takes to repair this mess is an updated patching before attempting to game.

To my utter disappointment, there is not a single copy of Diamond or Platinum in Croatia. Not one. Nada. Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nula.
*shakes fist*

I had the original NWN, and purchased the Mod pack later. But I still went ahead and bought the Platinum and reinstalled, and it does seem to run cleaner and smoother, as well as clearing up some minor glitches I was having.
