Patches for NWN"+MOTB+SOZ

[seany65]

Hello all, I've found 9 patches for NWN2+MOB+SOZ and I've tried to install them by copying them (still zipped) to "C:/Prgram files/Atari/Nverwinter nights 2" and then running the game and clicking on 'Update' (while disconnected from the interwebnet) and I only get 'no connection found' (or words to that effect), I wait about 30s-1 minute but still nothing happens. So I deleted those zipped files from the location they'd been copied to and I tried doing "C:/My Documents/nverwinter nights" and got the same message and lack of action. So I deleted those zipped files from the location they'd been copied to. I then tried copying those zipped files to the 'Patch' folder in "C:program files/NWN/patch" and then ran the game and clicked on 'update'. No luck, so as a final resort I did it for the "C:/My DoucmentsNWN2/Patch" and still no luck.

 

Is there an 'installer' or something that would help wiuth this problem, and if so, how do I use it?

 

I've also got another couple of questions concerning the patches:

 

1) I've got one called 'nwn2_pcx2_englishvoxfix_from1201541_to 1201541' and one called 'nwn2_pcx2_scriptfix_from1201541_to 1201541' will any 'installer' install them in order or do I have to do it individually, somehow?

 

2) I've got a patch called 'nwn2_pcx2_modfix_nx1_1211549_to_1221587' will any 'installer' automaticlally put this in after the '...from...86_to...87' patch, or do I have to put it in indivually, somehow?

 

 

Any help anyone can give will be much appreciated.

I have no idea what version you're starting from, but it may not be the one that the patches you have are looking for. You need every patch that connects one to another, "from[version number] to [version number]", and there are a lot of them. More than four. There's a patching program someone wrote to replace the built-in one, which might provide more feedback. I don't know, since I've never used it. But all of the patches are here, and the patching program is here.

Thanks for the quick reply and info. Tchos. According to the NWN2 update thing it says I've got 1201541, which in my case is NWN2+MOTB+SOZ from seperate discs, so I think the patches are the right ones.

 

Just DL'd the patching program and looked at the notes that were on that site. Looks a bit complicated for me. I'll prolly have to study the instructions for a few hours first.

 

I've also found thing called 'nwn2installer100'. Have you heard of it?

I haven't heard of it. I barely know about these things, since the last time I needed to run the updater was years ago, when the update servers were still online. I've never uninstalled the game since then, and in the meantime I've also gotten the GOG version for the Mysteries of Westgate expansion, and that one is already patched to the final version.

Thanks for the reply Tchos. I unzipped that 'nwn2installer100' and I got the impression that it was an installer for NWN2 rather than anything to do wit the patches. Rather like the name suggests, really. :laugh:

 

So wish I could just uzip the patches into my "C:/My Documents/neverwinter nights" folder. It would be souch easier.

What nwn2installer100 are you talking about? I linked to a program called nwn2patcher.zip

[seany65]

I found "nwn2installer100" just after making the original post, but I hadn't done anything with it as I wanted to find a prog that was actually labelled as being a patch installer and that had instructions.

 

 

I then got the program you were kind enough to link to. I decided that the instructions make it rather difficult to use, so I thought I'd cautiously unzip the "nwn2installer100" first, just to see if there were any instructions with it, but no nothing so useful as instructions, so I'vedecided to not bother with it.

 

I'll just study the instruction for the prog you linked to and hope that I don't mess it up.

 

Sorry if I didn't expalin things properly earlier.

Well this is truly annoying. I decided to save the patches to disk and use the 'update' button on the game instead of trying to manually install the pathces 'cos there's a little bit of crappyness going on with PORR and MOB.

 

The patcher update itself but it keeps going to IGN to get the first patch, which seems to be the englishvofix one, and it DL's it, but the patcher can't read the zip file saying 'it may be corrupted' and that 'I may want ttry and delete this file and then attempt to update your game again' so I do and it repeats the process. I saw that the DL'd file was put in the game's temp folder and was listed as having 2kb in it. I deleted it and copied tha file I had on disk to the temp folder, and then ran the updater, but of course the patcher overwrote it. I then disconneted from the web and tried again, but it would only say 'no connection found'.

 

I've never had this much trouble updating any game before. I think I'll try and find an answer on a specialist NWN2 forum.

 

Edit: Would it not be possible for me to just unzip the englsihvofix file into the correct folder, and then the updater wouldn't be looking for it? If so, what is the correct folder?

 

PS. I have been looking at the instructions for tnt220's updater, and I've DL'd the old patch (100788 to 10289) that is mentioned, and I see it says to unzip this file into the NWN2 installation directory. Is this "C:/Program Files/Atari/Neverwinter nights 2" ?

 

It also says it should have a file ending in ".rtp" and that I should place this in the installation directory. But isn't it already there, from when I unzipped the zip file?

 

Any help would be mucxh appreciated.

If that's where you told it to install the game. That's not where I installed mine, but it sounds like a common place.

 

I can't answer the other questions, but as for a specialist NWN2 forum, try here.

[seany65]

Thanks for that, Tchos.

 

Yes, I found that forum earlier today and I've been having a look at it.

 

I've DL'd the 'autoupdate fix' mentioned in that forum, but it's described as 'Atari US Digital Download game version 104 AutoUpdate Fix' but my game is on disc british version, so I'm not sure if I should use it. It also seems a little odd that I should be 'backdating' the updater to make it work.
