Updating

Is anyone having a problem connecting to the updater? For that matter, even connecting to the main bioware page?

I tried to update last night, and it was giving me errors and telling me to get the update offline, but that only crashed my entire system to the point that I had to reinstall NWN

They worked for me sometime last night. Luckily I had a good book to read while I waited for the download to finish (dialup). It did fail once though, got to 85% and failed.

Restarted it and it was finished by the time I woke up this morning though. Got on to NS after that though so all appears well. :D

I have Diamond and it doesn't work either. I think Bioware/gamespy is having issues today


(just tried again, after installing King maker... for some reason now it appears *knock on wood* to be working... hopefully it won't crash on me most of the way through it!

Website update

Here, I finally found it online... it's the update file that you can dl directly to be able to download it. I think the major problem is that they're being over run by people trying to update such a large file...

I have the Platinum and the Diamond editions. The automatic updater would not work. However, if you have gone into the file structure and messed with anything it could upset your online update.

I had multiple add-ons including a graphics package that I had horsed into my file structure, and i am suspicicious that this is what prevented the online update to work. I had to download a 'Critical Rebuild' program, that is available which rebuilds the entire file structure (to a degree) of your NWN. You will have to go back in and add your stuff (mods or graphics packages) but this seems to be the only way for it to work.

In addition, make sure you install the new tilesets as well BEFORE you add graphics packages etc. I'm not sure what happens with Kingmaker, but thats the way it works for Diamond and Plat's.

That's all fine and dandy, but there's one problem. I don't have anything else installed into my nwn... well until recently when I broke down and got a character builder/tester mod.
