Warning on Patch 1.69

Post by driller »

Please be aware of this.

Feat Prerequisite changes (these may make some existing characters invalid in multiplayer games)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- The Epic Dodge feat now requires 30 ranks of Tumble skill as a prerequisite, as per the description (feat.2da).
- The "Dragon Shape" feat now requires Wild Shape 6x/day as per the description (feats.2da).
- Fixed prerequisite for "Epic Weapon Focus Club" to be "Weapon Focus Club" rather than "Improved Critical Club" (feat.2da).
- Weapon Specialization Club now requires four fighter levels to obtain (rather than one).

Thanks,
-driller

How will this effect pre-existing characters with these feats already?

Will we have a way to access them to re-create or, mule items?
Or will these previous characters be at a total loss?
I am not sure, but I may have a character floating around out there with Epic Dodge and not sure if the rank 30 tumbling is there or not.

I would not mind it at all, if I had a character that had one of these new invalid feats, to temporarily port me into a deleveling starter area. I wouldn't mind deleveling til the feat is removed.

I want you to go look at your chars and post here who they are and ask for a rebuild if they will be illegal with new patch.

Thanks,

okay,
I will have to wait til the patch to do a through check as my good computer's powersupply and video card went out.
Right now I am on my old computer and it is only updated with the 1.69 and Cep 2.1

Suggest for those char you think might have a problem is to remove everything they have to a mule that is level 1. Then if you have a problem logging in after the update you will not of lost anything.
Little things can lead to... just about anything.

I have 1.69 and CEP v 2.1 but can't seem to find BSK on GameSpy. This a known issue?

I tried that but nothing helps. I start NWN, the NWloader starts then it vanish....unable to load the game even to play single campain. Something must have corrupted my game.

You can try this. Go to your NWN directory and right click on nwmain.exe and select properties. Go to the compatibility mode and select Windows XP Pro SP2.

I know not all of us are computer Geeks around here but make sure if doing a clean install to delete all NwN files.

Then install in this Order:

INSTALL NWN AND UPDATE TO 1.69 PATCH
INSTALL CEP V2.0
INSTALL CEP V2.0_C (LATEST UPDATED VERSION OF CEP V2.1)
ADD YOUR OVERIDE FILES INTO THE NWN OVERIDE FILE


I have found that few people who have problems are in fact forgetting to install the Full CEP v2.0 and only installing CEP v2.1_C

I'm using Vista and that's not a option to choose, it's currently set on Windows XP (service pack 2)
