I don't have SOU yet. Just NWN - Thanx Crimson - I'll let u known if it works.

these instructions are confusing and they contradict themselves

Misc Beta Patch
Current Misc Beta Patch: 1.30 "Invalid Pointer Operation" Beta Fix
Updated: Thursday, June 26, 2003, 5:30pm MT

With version 1.30 of Neverwinter Nights or Shadows of Undrentide, you may see an Invalid Pointer Operation error message when trying to start the game from the launcher. This Beta nwn.exe program should fix this issue.

You MUST back up your old nwn.exe file before you install the new one. You will be required to restore from your backup before you will be able to use the final 1.31 Update.

This doesn't make any sense to me - I Back up my old nwn.exe, I do as the instructions ask and unzip the Beta nwn.exe on the not backup nwn.exe and then I install the 1.31 patch? What do I do wif the backed up copy of my old nwn.exe? It also adds that I'm patched without patching with the 1.31 update, do I even install the 1.31 update?

------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok I did as the instructions said - but was iffy on the last part - I did the update and this is what I got - More trouble!

An incorrect version of the file was found on your system.
The update was unable to complete, since the file contents were incorrect.

Get the critical rebuild.

The patch has been aborted

================================================== ===================
Ok this is what I did on my own Recognicense -

I took the back up I made and put it over the beta patch -
I D/l'd the Critical rebuild patch from the website the patch error gave me.

and.... i get the same error as i did the first time

- I'm just not going to update.

Bioware should really iron out his bug for us persons that have this problem.

================================================== ===================
Ok, this is driving me crazy now, I'm determined to patch this F*****!! and have it work!!!

Ok doing a clean install wif the Critical Rebuild 1.30 patch. I'm rebooting.
