I am trying to launch the nwn2 toolset. It brings up the loading interface, however it goes through the motions until it says it's "loading global blueprints...". There it always crashes returning a rather large dialog box returning a lot of exceptions that to my untrained eye looks like it's not finding the global blueprints themselves or something similar. That is in my untrained eye's opinion, however, so I don't know. What I do know is that it's crashing every single time while trying to launch at the "loading global blueprints..." steps and returns a page full of exceptions concerning blueprint indexes.
Steps that I have already taken without avail:
Installed and activated .Net 3.5 Framework.
Installed the June 2010 directx runtimes from Microsoft that the game requires.
Set the compatibility of the toolset launcher to run as admin and in compatibility mode for XP SP2.
I am running windows 10 and all my graphics drivers are up to date.
Any help would be appreciated. I know this is an old game, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for it, and have been thinking to create some new modules and expansions for my own personal use just to breathe more life into it. I have DM'd real life games for the last 30ish years, so I have a lot of memories of amazing story arches from games of old that would be awesome if they could be translated even partially into NWN2... However, the first step to do that is to load up the toolset, so I'm at an impasse.
