Frequently Asked Questions

Generic

  • From where can I purchase the game?

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is available on several platforms! 

    You can either play on Computer (Windows, Mac, Linux), or on Mobile Devices (iOS, Android).

    Links:

    1. Steam 
    2. GoG 
    3. Google Play 
    4. Apple Store 
  • Where do I find this game server inside of the game?

    You will find the game server on the official multiplayer servers list from the game app.

    Search by name or players count, and you will find A Dawn of Heroes in the list.

  • How can I direct connect to ADOH?

    Direct Connect: play.adawnofheroes.org:5121

    To setup a shortcut to connect to the server directly create a desktop shortcut of nwmain.exe and add in the target line: +connect play.adawnofheroes.org:5121 . The process is valid if using either Steam or GoG clients, just locate the nwmain.exe in the install folder.

  • Why is the server password protected?

    The server gets password protected before AND after each reboot. Just wait for the reboot to happen (it only takes a few minutes), and you will be able to log back in.

  • I am lagging! Is the server not powerful enough?

    Lag is usually client side, or at least 99% of the times. If the lag happens to be server side, we’ll take care of it asap.

    Client side lag can happen for several reasons:

    1. Problems in the network infrastructure between you and the server
    2. Local packet loss

    Try to check your connection by making a Speed Test and a Packed Loss Test first.

    You can try to use a VPN to solve the networking issue, if it persists.

  • I am lagging / crashing / being booted every time i try to load a specific area, how can I solve?

    Consider to remove any custom content from steam workshop (or from elsewhere, if you have modded the game that way). 

    Most of the times, any kind of content bringing in new textures or appearances will slow down your game to a point of heavy lag, depending on your machine hardware, and on the quality of the pack in the workshop (some packs are very poorly optimized!).

    If your issue is performance related, try adjusting your game graphic settings.

    Open the game’s Video Settings under OPTIONS>>GAME OPTIONS>>GRAPHICS:

    1. Under Advanced Frame-Buffer Effects, uncheck Ambient Occlusion and restart the game for the new setting to take effect. 
    2. Under Frame Limiter, check the box labeled enabled. 
    3. Under Lighting, turn off Enhanced Lighting. 
  • I am booted right after i try to login with any character, what is the problem?

    You have changed your Player Name into something different from the one that is stored on our database (it gets stored at your very first login). 

    Change your Player Name via game menu, and try again. 

    To change it: 

    • If you are prompted to insert your Player Name on multiplayer login, set the name you saw on the kick message. 
    • If you are not prompted, go in: Options – Game Option – Multiplayer – Change: Client Identity Name, then press “save”
  • Where is the server hosted?

    OHV Server Hosting Services, Canada, Dedicated Machine with i7-7700k CPU, 32GB DDR4 RAM and High Speed SSD. Linux Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, using Docker.

  • What is the current game server version?

    We are currently on the latest stable release (8193.37.15)

  • When does the ADOH game server reset? Is there an daily schedule?

    Server resets daily, usually at 1PM Central European Time.

    An admin could reset it at a different hour to push an update or to solve a temporary issue.

  • How can I change my alignment?

    You can change from Good/Neutral towards Evil by killing friendly commoner NPCs.

    If you need a complete alignment change, you will have to head in Castle Glendario (an area reachable from all races, from all major cities).

    There, you will speak with the Nordock Avatar, and for 25 Boss Tokens, you’ll be allowed to switch to any kind of alignment once.

  • Are there any builds limitations?

    No, you are free to build whatever you want. 

    Still, there will be some builds that are impossible to be played without an alignment change.
