Client & Connection Issues
Common fixes for crashes, missing files, graphical errors, connection failures, and client launch problems.
Confirm the correct setup path.
Check haks and overrides.
Apply the stable baseline.
Check the SinfarX launcher.
Graphical Issues
Faces Have a Metallic Texture
This usually means required override files are missing.
- Download the required files from Hak Files.
- Place the files in your
<NWN>\overridefolder. - If you use Enhanced Edition, confirm that the files included by the SinfarX launcher are present.
- Restart the client and test again.
Invisible Robes, Cloaks, or Wings
This can happen when using an older or unsupported NVIDIA graphics driver. Update the driver from the official NVIDIA Driver Downloads page, restart the system, and test again.
Direct Connect
Connect Without the Server List
Click Direct Connect and enter:
nwn.sinfar.net
If the server list fails, direct connect is usually the cleanest connection method.
Launch Directly Into Sinfar
Create a shortcut to sinfarx.exe and add the appropriate connection text after the executable path.
Player shortcut
+connect nwn.sinfar.net
DM client shortcut
-dmc +connect nwn.sinfar.net +password [insert DM password]
Account & Connection Errors
Password Could Not Be Verified
This is usually a CD-key issue, not a password issue. The account may be tied to a different CD key from the one currently in use.
- Find and use the previous CD key.
- Unlock the account through My Account if you know the website password.
- Use a player name that has not already been registered; check Character Search.
- If you moved to a new computer or cannot access the account, contact an administrator through the Sinfar Discord.
Server Is Not Responding or Timed Out
If the internet connection is working, the server appears online, and nwn.sinfar.net loads in a browser, changing the client port may fix the issue.
- Open the NWN directory.
- Open
nwnplayer.iniin a text editor. - Find the line beginning with
Client Port=. - Change the number to a value between
10000and65000. - Save the file and restart the game.
Booted After Choosing a Character
If the client reports that a doorway remains sealed behind an unknown magical barrier, the server may have detected a VPN or proxy.
- Turn off the VPN or proxy and reconnect.
- If this is your real and stable IP address, contact an administrator on Discord.
- Obtain an approval point in game.
Social & Gameplay Issues
On the main Sinfar hub, you do not have to become involved in something you do not want. Sinfar provides rules and tools for handling unwanted situations. If those tools are not sufficient, report the issue to Sinfar Staff.
Side servers such as Arche Terre and Dreaded Lands may have additional rules while still following the main server rules. Non-connected side servers using Sinfar infrastructure may provide their own rules and experiences.
