As per topic title, I was wondering if anyone had any success in running the NWN2 toolset or the game via the Client Extension on Linux.
Running it via Lutris works fine for the vanilla game (it actually runs really well!), but I’d really like to achieve the two mentioned objectives as well.
If anyone has any ideas please share them, I’ll also update this thread with any info I manage to find on the subject.

I made some minimal progress on the Toolset, at the very least now I can get to the launcher screen itself, it crashes when it’s “creating default windows”, I got this far by installing the Dot net. 4.0 and 4.8 and all the available Visual C++ libraries via Winetricks.
I remember having a similar problem with early installations on Windows 10, does anyone remember how to fix the similar problem on Windows?
As a much late update, I can say that at least I managed to get the Toolset running on Linux via Virtual Box, I needed a more modern PC to run it (as my previous one didn’t have internal discrete graphics but required an external dock which was not recognized by virtual box).
To get it running, your virtual box Windows 10 set up will need
- Virtual Box Guest Addition
- When you first launch the application, install the additional application that the Operating System suggests you to install (such as Direct Play)
- Install DirectX 3D graphic libraries (this is not handled automatically by the game or the operating system, you will need to download and install it manually)
