Using NWN Diamond

Playing on Sinfar requires NWN including both its expansions, Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark. Today, these come bundled in NWN Diamond Edition available in CD Format from Amazon or Ebay or if you purchase a copy of NWN Enhanced Edition from GOG.com (the latter is highly recommended in this case).

If you have any issue, we can help you on Discord: https://discord.gg/jVaNBmj

Create an Empty Folder

This is where you will extract all the installation files.
NWN Diamond installation is portable so you can put it anywhere, even on a USB key.

In this case I will use “C:\MyGames\Clean_NWN_Install”:

Copy Your nwncdkey.ini File

The only file that matters from your previous installation is this nwncdkey.ini file. You can Find it at one of the following locations:

  • At the root of your previous NWN installation:


  • From your GoG library:

    In this case, you have 2 options:
    • Create a new text file (using notepad for example) and add the following:
      [CDKEY]
      Key1=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
      Key2=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
      Key3=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

      Then replace the “XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX” by your keys, where:
      Key1 = Neverwinter Nights Key
      Key2 = Shadows of Undrentide Key
      Key3 = Hordes of the Underdark Key

    • Or wait to launch the game to enter your CD keys manually when it starts:

Using an Existing Installation

If you want to use your own custom NWN installation, then you will at least need those Sinfar-specific files:

Start Playing!

To launch the game, you need to run sinfarx.exe:
