It was a long time ago, but I'm fairly sure I didn't have to hunt down the old manuals back then.ДЄdd> In the end, none of the four keys worked as far as reclaiming my account on the server goes. So I'm going to treat that as confirmation that the old EE also failed to migrate it back then, and just generated a new one instead. The key in the old cdkey ini file is, rather puzzlingly, NONE of the three keys I have.

That helps pin the bug on the migration code, which is potentially helpful to BD. But, it worked to create the cdkey ini file at least, so that's progress! (Except I have THREE keys, and apparently my original NWN one isn't the one on record, so I still have to try SOU and HOTU). So I'll give it a try if I can find them.ДЄdd> I found them, and that worked. But, it's a start, and it'll be a different failure to the current one, which might be helpful. I guess I could go hunting for the old NWN manuals and try that, though IIRC the unfortunate use of 0 / O and 8 / B in the key and the smudged ink typewriter they used for those keys meant I needed several tries to decode the correct key from it even 15 years ago, which will likely generate the wrong key until I manage to guess right. nope: still doesn't create the CDKEY file, still pops up the dialog, and still crashes when you press ESC. part and letting it rebuild it, as you suggested earlier - sorry about that: I was very tired last night.ДЄnd. Hopefully someone from BD will have some ideas when they're back in the office tomorrow.ДЄdd> What I haven't tried yet is nuking the Documents/. So that proves the firewall isn't an issue, though I already knew that and we know the /users/./Neverwinter dir isn't the problem either, since I can copy the old EE cdkey ini file into it. (Which is still more successful than the current build though).

What I CAN'T do is connect to our test server, since my name is already in use there because we migrated the servervault etc from NWN, and apparently the old EE install didn't migrate my old key correctly. Okay - with the CDKEY file I recovered from my original EE install 18 months ago, I can connect to Nordock (though I didn't actually go through with it). Now I just need to figure out why I can't connect to our EE test server. With the ini file copied from the backup of my old install, the popup is gone. I can experiment at some point but would rather not for a while, so my advice for anyone else who runs into this would be to save the NWN registry entries, delete them, and then try EE again before restoring them: that way, EE won't try to migrate the old key.

Either way, it looks like there's an edge case being hit where everything doesn't go exactly as expected and EE is missing the code needed to deal with that. I DID indeed skip the Gamespy hive though, so that may have confused EE. Or at least, it still could be, but it's much less likely. The GUID is in the BW hive (HKLM/SOFTWARE/BioWare) so nope, that's not it. NWN itself still works fine, but if EE is using the NWN registry entries to decide what to do about the online key, and then trying to use the Gamespy key as the seed, and doesn't have a working fallback path, then yeah, that would do it. I saved and restored the registry trees for NWN, but I THINK I didn't bother with the Gamespy tree since that's been dead for years. I gather EE tries to migrate old keys from that for continuity reasons (thanks Dave), and that may well be the problem. I DID have the original NWN copied over, and have run that since the OS install, which I left out of the original post.

I did of course try the Steam version when the copy failed, but that did exactly the same thing, i.e. And that's fine, since I'm perfectly capable of adding the Allow rules to the firewall for it, and did when I later tried to go online: but it might be that the game needed to be able to get online the very first time it ran, and is failing to recover properly.

So that copy would have silently had incoming connections blocked. Since I installed EE via Steam, which sucks horribly, the first thing I did was copy the EE tree to an SSD instead, and run it from there. I like the firewall idea though, and now I do have a guess as to what might have caused this problem (though it's not a very GOOD guess).

(On the plus side, I DID back it up, and the backup DOES have the missing ini file in it). I didn't have a Neverwinter folder in Documents - this was a clean install not an upgrade, and I didn't copy the one from the old machine as the EE there is about a year old.

The firewall (the stock Windows one) has entries for EE (and the toolset? seriously?) in it to allow incoming - though, note to BD, if you're the one adding those rather than Windows doing it, you should probably also create outgoing rules in case someone's reconfigured the firewall properly, but I haven't done that on this machine.
