Okay, NEW PROBLEM.
I click the update button to try to update to the newest (1.62?) version. My computer starts downloading a 30+ MB file from the internet, and NEVER finishes. I can't play certain mods without this latest update. I have a flash drive that can hold the program, and I could download it to the drive at work. But (1) how/where can I get it, and (2) then how can I update NWN (i.e. install it)? (Because I won't be hitting the "update" button of course). |

Find your patch file here based on which expansion pak you have and follow the instructions. You can put the Critical rebuild pacth on your flash drive and then take it home and install it. You actually still use the update button, but you'll want to be offline when you do. If you follow the directions and put the manual patch file in the right directory, pressing the update button will find the patch file on your hard drive and istall it normally. Ive done this before, it is fairly easy and it works. Just follow the instructions that come with the patch download. If you need any help. just ask of course. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks, Chewie, I'll check out the link. SpiritWarrior, I'm not going to bother them with the problems of someone who had dial-up. 30MB's with dialup? -- It's a silly proposition at the outset.

With HotU installed, that update is 3Mb. Or smaller. I forget. But the reason its so big is that its got part of the HotU content in it for compatability reasons.

I never understand why dial-up get's such a bad rep. I played for ages with dial-up and 30 mb isn't actually that much. I have downloaded up to 550 mb at one time on dial-up so 30mb would take you about 1-2 hours (start it when you go out somewhere and come back then It's done).
I have patched NWN's with dial-up and pretty recently too when my cable went down for 2 months. It isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Well, I let it run for a few hours, and the installation never finished. It got close, and then stuck for 30 mins near the end. Plus, I find that as the years go by I simply have less patience with technology. If it isn't easy to learn, simple to use, and really helpful, I have no time for it.

If you are a fan of skills and feats go for a character with a bit of a higher intelligence. Doesn't help with the feats but gives you extra points for skills.

Well, I made a character of Int 8 and immediately quit after I got my first dialogue option.
