Do -not- update NWN to 1.65!
Posted: 13 Dec 2004 03:39 PM |
As always we will not be moving to the newest patch until we see what 'issues' arise from it.
In order to ensure you can connect to Vives do -not- update to 1.65 until it is made clear in this post or a new one that Vives has updated.

If one of you have updated, then you will need to revert the patch to go back to 1.64 to play on vives.

Could really use some help here. Got a new system, reloaded NWN, updated to 1.65, and am now trying to revert to 1.64 via the link provided. In the middle of the update, the updater says there is a critical error due to the wrong file being found in a directory, and then says that I need to go to ANOTHER bioware site to do a critical rebuild.
Guess what the critical rebuild is?
Version 1.65.
I fear this is a vicious circle. Anyone got any ideas what I can do? |

Any idea when Vives will update? It's been over two weeks now since the patch came out.
I'm on another Persistent World and part of a Weekly Campaign that have both updated.

Not until after Ara gets back from Holiday and we've tested it to make sure it does not create more problems then it solves.
Early January, or after Ara has integrated the new haks he wants to add.

| As always, each PW is different and has different responses/problems to patches, but if it helps I can report we had no problems in Thain when moving to 1.65. It basically fixed all the things it said it fixed, and it repaired the things that broke with 1.64 (many of which the skilled vives team fixed seperately anyway). There's a big boost for DM client stability too during multi-tasking. |

And we can move things again without possesing them...and alt tabbing! We can finally Alt-Tab once again! |

We're working on the new haks now, and trying to fix some dodgy animations (whirlwind and the awalking/running ones). the new haks should hopefully be available next Monday from the Vault assuming everything goes OK ;)

What do you mean we can move things without possessing them. Is that like familiars or just DMs with NPCs?
Also "Alt-Tab"? Does that mean if I Alt-Tab out of NWN to for example do something in Windows it wont annoyingly drag me back in when I'm in the middle of something.
Please please let that be what you mean |

It has to do with the dm client. new bugs broke this functionality in 1.64 and is almost essential for the DM's to be able to do.

no.. it means it wont crash the dm client (or maybe it crashes the normal client as well.. duno)
when trying to alt tab back to nwn :P

Yes its a DM thing where they can move a NPC or an entire group of NPC's easily and quickly, which from what I hear was broken by 1.64 |

Heya :)
Yeah sorry about the delay, I'm still working out the haks and fixing the animations that are askew currently.
It should be finished by Tuesday this Week, and I'll up the haks probably Tues/Weds in readiness for download sometime on Thurs/Fri next week :)
Apologies for the delay

Not yet.
Ara is working on trying to get some animation issues resolved, and that is taking longer than expected.

you still cannot update to 1.65...
but not for much longer.
Ara is assembling the final haks, we will do a bit of quick testing and we should be ready in the next day or so.

The new hak is done, and we're testing it out in a few minutes, especially considering a last minute (cool though) addition will require adding our first ever .tlk file ;)
So sorry for the delay and please bear with us If all goes well we'll up it for download to the vault later today, and most likely give everyone a few days to grab it before we update to 1.65.
The new hak btw is 33 Meg Zipped (but there's some -really- cool stuff in it :P)

I fear change...every new update has required me to upgrade my system and spend too much money.
especially considering a last minute (cool though) addition will require adding our first ever .tlk file ;)
Yup...that sounds like about another $150 right there...that's what tlk stands for, isn't it? Tough luck, kid?
