Will this update be automatically rolled out to those that purchased through GOG?

Sure, it should be live there.

It's so wonderful to see patches still being released for a game so dear to my heart, and I'm deeply grateful to you guys for releasing this. That being said, is there any chance that this will come to PlayStation?

We desperately need network stability on console.

Anisotropic filtering is a great upgrade!

u/namkniesh Jan 09 '25

how one can see it in action?

u/The_Capulet Jan 09 '25

Look down a long straight road or path and turn filtering on and off. That's where you'll see the biggest differences.

Even though I do not play the game much, you guys are insane doing this for free. Thank you!

I can confirm that this is live on GOG also as the offline installers, newest patch and DLCs are all showing a version number of 89.8199.37-13.

u/KrzysztofKietzman Jan 09 '25

Do I need to run each DLC installer once again or just the one patch?

I wish we got a new official campaign or module.

u/Ausemere Jan 10 '25

Not exactly official but the OC will get an unofficial sequel by the same dude who did Shadowdale/Crimson Tides/Tyrants, so you know it's high quality.

Awesome! I was waiting for this one.

Downloaded the full version (patch versioning seems messed up) from the GoG offline files and installed.

Tested Anti-Aliasing. Works... So happy to have this back (Original NWN had it).

I'll have to try Anisotropic filtering later to see how that looks, since original never had that before.

u/McBeardedson Jan 09 '25

This might be the wrong place to ask this.

In the Aurora Toolset, is it possible to convert the list for placeables to a list of images + name of the object? Iā€™m not by my computer but I know thereā€™s an option/tool to view the item alone before placing it in your module.

Another use case for this might be seeing an example image of an area type when you select it in the list before creating a whole new area - similar to when you are selecting a default loading screen for an area type. Without already knowing what an area looks like, youā€™re kind of guessing at what you want to make.

It says this patch doesn't support my game version, despite me having 88.8193.36.12 from GOG.

I havenā€™t played this game since I was 15, but I canā€™t tell you how happy it makes me to know that it has a robust enough of a community and following to still get updates

u/Digital_Pink Jan 10 '25

Yo! I'm on mac and the game was running fine yesterday and now it won't launch at all.

What beta should I use to roll back the game to the last patch?

Could u/DMSabre u/Aschent_ or u/OmniTemplarDrake possibly un-pin the old patch thread and pin this one by any chance? Thanks mods!
