Question - Difficulty Level

Aliberto

With version 8162 and changed something about the difficulty level?
In the server settings by entering the option
[Game Options]
Difficulty Level=2

the monsters make critical hits on the PCs, how is it possible?

I assume its the same difficulty setting that can be adjusted in the DM client or in the normal game options when playing offline (the slider bar at the top in DM or in game options in standard client) which allows you to set it from easy to very difficult. On easy and normal creatures can't do crits.

Sure, but after correcting it by hand, does this setting remains the same even after restarting? I set the difficulty level in the .ini file, why is it ignored?

Mindful of a problem with setting the maximum number of players, i discovered the cause of the problem.
When using docker to manage the server it is obligatory to set all the environment variables provided.
In the case of difficulty level the variable is called NWN_DIFFICULTY.
So the parameter "Difficulty Level" in the nwnplayer.ini file is totally insignificant.
The strange thing is that up to version 8159 in the image kindly provided by glorwinger the default difficulty level was 2, while in the last version was 4.
So i never set the environment variable i did not understand that it did not work, while the setting in the .ini file was simply ignored.
