Welcome! I’ll guide you step by step to join Archeterre, which is part of the Sinfar servers.
Check your game: Diamond or Enhanced Edition?
First, you need Neverwinter Nights 1, in one of these versions:
Compatible versions
- Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition
- Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition (EE)
Both work with Sinfar (Diamond is often considered more stable).
Be careful not to confuse with other games
There are several similarly named games:
- Neverwinter (free MMO) → NOT compatible
- Neverwinter Nights 2 → NOT compatible
- Neverwinter Nights (1) → this is the correct game
Simple tip: If you see “Enhanced Edition” (Beamdog) or “Diamond Edition”, you’re good.
If you don’t have the game
You can get the modern version (recommended):
- Buy Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition on Steam
- Buy Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition on Beamdog
- Buy Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition on GOG (DRM FREE)
The Enhanced Edition already includes all Diamond content plus modern improvements.
Install Sinfar (required for Archeterre)
Archeterre runs on Sinfar, which requires custom files and a specific client.
Recommended method: automatic installer
Download the installer here: Sinfar installer
Then:
- Download the file
- Extract it
- Run it
This installer works for both Diamond and Enhanced Edition and will find the installation, download the files and prepare your game.
Launch the game and join Archeterre
Once everything is installed:
- Launch NWN
- Go to Multiplayer
- Click Direct Connect
- Enter: nwn.sinfar.net
The Sinfar client will handle the rest automatically.
If you have issues
If the automatic installer doesn’t work:
Use the manual installation guide here: Sinfar Getting Started guide on the Wiki
