Hey everyone,

I haven't gotten the Plat edition NWN yet to load onto the new pc. I had checked at a Circuit City right by my work, they didn't have it, but they don't have a great game selection either. Haven't gotten out to check elsewhere.

I could load my very old ones, but they are so old (like V 1.22) I don't know if it would update correctly if I tried it. Maybe I'll give it a shot later today and see. If it works then I should be able to make it to the game.

I haven't checked yet, are there any special haks or anything I need for that LB module? (other then CEP which I have on CD)

I loaded NWN gold (nwn and shadows of undrentide together) and Hotu onto my computer when I came back to the states, it updated from those discs just fine. I'm not sure what version those are, though, nor how big the file is.

I'm guessing you should be OK. With all the copies of NWN out there, a certain percentage is reinstalling from their disks at any given time. Bioware would be swamped with complaints if all those people couldn't update. I've reinstalled a few times over the years, most recently last summer I think. If you end up having a problem, I think the critical update file on Bioware's site should replace all the required files.

As far as I can tell, the module for tomorrow has no haks aside from CEP.
