If none of these suggestions fixes the problem, please cd to the nwn folder and run: strace -o nwn.log. I assume that you have the BinkPlayer executable in the nwn folder and the line sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 libx11-dev If you are using the movie patch as noted at the Bioware site, you will need to install the dependencies for the BinkPlayer. You should also make sure you are using the following line in the nwn script in the nwn folder: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./miles:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH So please enter: sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-sound1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-image1.2 The most important dependency of the game is SDL, as we usually use the system SDL rather than the old, buggy version that comes with the client.
