Neverwinter Nights 2 Forum

One of the tips deals with the problem of the game not launching by copying dll's to the game folder.

the author mentioned looking in a logfile to find what files weren't working

seeing as copying the dll's didn't work for me, I wouldn't mind having a look in said logfile to figure out what's wrong on my side.
Problem is I have no idea where that logfile is. Can anyone point me to it ? :)

To collect a log on the Mac, you can use the Debug Options section of the Run Command dialog, accessible from the Programs menu. You don't need to enable any debug logging channels. The default logging should be sufficient to show you which DLLs are missing.

well this is the logfile I'm getting:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like it just launches the app and then nothing ?

I'm having a similar problem. The game installs, starts up (using nwloader.exe so I'm not prompted for the CD), press Play and then nothing happens. I'm using OS X 10.5.2 with CrossOver Games 7.1.1.
