<hr />Now that the beta's are rolling along, is it no longer possible to use the bw_* haks from Brian's updater WITHOUT the beta installed? <hr />I'm probably hitting some resource limit if you use the auto hak updater. It's probably safe to stop using it now, until I get around to cleaning it up for the "1.70" stuff.<br />

The fifth 1.69.8104 beta patch is now available for download.

This beta patch currently only supports the English version of Neverwinter Nights running under Windows for users that have both expansion packs installed (SoU and HotU).

The Windows Beta patch files can be accessed directly here:

Please grab both files (beta patch and revert patch).

If you were running the 1.69 Beta 4 patch. You will need to run the updater to revert back to 1.68 and then remove the 1.69 Beta 4 patches from your Neverwinter nights directory, before the updater will be able to install the 1.69 Beta 5 patches (which need to be placed in you Neverwinter Nights directory).

If you forgot to download the 1.69 Beta 4 revert patch you can download it from here:

Let me know if you experience any problems at all.

You can report any bugs you find to <a href="mailto:nwbugs@bioware.com">nwbugs@bioware.com</a>, <a href="mailto:nwexploits@bioware.com">nwexploits@bioware.com</a> or <a href="mailto:nwtoolsetbugs@bioware.com">nwtoolsetbugs@bioware.com</a> (depending on whether they are game bugs, game exploits, or toolset bugs).

One of the big differences between this patch and previous patches is the huge amount of new content that we included from our Premium Modules program.

We would especially like feedback on the new horse scripting system.

In addition would like to hear back about any bugs that can be found with the new content ( i.e. creatures, placeables, Purple Dragon Knight prestige class, etc ). I hope all you builders out there will try out the beta patch and report any issues you find.


I hope to release Linux and Mac Beta 5 patches some time next week (along with versions of the Beta 5 patch for people without the expansion packs installed).
