Below you will find all the necessary information to log in and have fun whether you're on Diamond Edition (1.69) with Windows or Linux or if you're using Enhanced Edition.

Unlike most other ''Neverwinter Nights'' servers, Sinfar uses a large amount of custom content and server-specific features. Before you can properly connect and play, you will need the required files and the correct setup path for your version of the game.


===== Anti-virus false positive =====
This page provides the basic installation routes for '''Diamond Edition''', '''Enhanced Edition''', and manual installation.
The download of the zip file and the unzipping of it seems to trigger false positive alert from windows defender sometimes. This doesn't always happen and I have to find the cause of it.


Windows Defender will identify a supposed virus as ''Trojan:Script/Sabsik.FL.A!ml'' .  It's a well known error for installer programmed that are unsigned. We do not yet have means to sign the installer unfortunately as this could cost several hundred dollars per year.
</div>


Please let us know if you run into this issue, and we'll keep working on trying to get that false positive to stop showing up.
