NWN2 Players
NWN2 players should download Skywing's NWN2 Client Extension and install it according to the readme. Once running the new CE, just go to the Join Internet Game screen as normal, and the server browser list should function as it used to (but will use Skywing's directory instead).
This CE release also has self-update support that will provide notification and optionally allow integrated installation (if user selects to do so) of new CE releases when they are made available
Direct download link for latest version: nynaeve.net/Skywing/NWN2/cliext/ClientExtension_Latest.zip (12979) (the Client Extension includes built-in self-update functionality when a new version is released).
There are also significant improvements to the capabilities of the DM client included (compatible with DMFI, although not dependent on DMFI). For example, you can teleport objects to specific points in other areas without jumping to the area first, and (with some server script support) you can view creatures on the map in a different area than you're currnetly in.
A brand new, "headless" standalone DM client for NWN2 is also included that allows PW admins to log on to the server without launching the full game DM client.
You can now also create a shortcut to directly connect to a PW from the desktop with the +connect argument supported by the included NWLauncher.exe (see the included readme file for details).
See the following tutorial link Below for help getting started using the Client Extension, should you get stuck.

PW Admins
Persistent world admins should install NWNX and xp_bugfix 1.0.20 or greater. This will allow your server to automatically send data to us. Remember to provide a Module URL (usually a link to your forums) via the nwn2player.ini and a Module Description via the toolset.
If you're unable to install xp_bugfix on your server or would prefer not to, send an email to nwnlist@gmail.com and we'll make sure you're on the manual list.
Zelknolf's NWN2 Server Monitor can be used as a front-end to launch the game to connect to any server if the NWN2 Client Extension is installed.
