NEVERWINTER NIGHTS PLATINUM WINDOWS 8.1 INSTALL
You need to install Diamond Edition, then apply the 1.69 critical. Hmm strange I can't download any rebuild patches. Patch 1.66 is the version of the Diamond Edition. The critical rebuild has the advantage that the same patch is used regardless of current game version, and it is now a smaller download in most cases. Patches to the Neverwinter Nights game fix bugs and sometimes add content and capabilities. I mean, really, ask yourself this question: would you rather take 5 minutes to install the critical rebuild or risk wasting hours dealing with issues down the line? It's not a guarantee, it's not magic, but it still helps a significant percentage of people. They all just assumed that NWN was being finicky due to it the game's age and their relatively new computers being not quite compatible.' The 1.69 Critical Rebuild can often fix a lot of minor issues. It turns out, as of just the other night, they simply didn't realize they were having issues that could be easily fixed with the rebuild. 'I actually wondered if GOG had resolved this recently as I was helping out a trio of folks that got the GOG version in the past month or two and hadn't had any issues. The thing is, it's not just about crashes. I haven't personally had one crash yet on the GOG version. Tallima: If you're having any crashes at all, go try the rebuild. So, no sure how 'critical' is that patch to install. However, I have been playing all the OC with the Gog version withouth problem and even some PW as well (Though those without CEP or other hacks). I could be mistaken then, I don't remember the history behind that and when I stopped playing NWN1 (around 2006) I didn't remember anything about said patch.
NEVERWINTER NIGHTS PLATINUM WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE
IllusionaryInno: Uhhh, I thought the Critical Rebuild WAS official given how it was a re-release of a previous version of the 1.69 patch that fixed some missing resources and was intended to update most versions to 1.69? But alright, I'll go looking for it then. There are some 'recent' discussion on the forum with the links to the current download site for the patch. If not, can anyone tell me a good place to get it since nwvault was taken down a while ago? Also anyone got any advice for getting it to work fine on Windows 8.1 32-bit? It's not a official patch from Bioware, so no, is not pre-installed. I am curious as to whether or not the version 1.69 Critical Rebuild patch has been added to the GoG distributed Neverwinter Nights 1 Diamond Edition yet as I am thinking of redownloading NWN1 again to play, and am not sure if this patch has been added in.
