Neverwinter Nights Update ?

Post by crow_se »

Hello all
I have just purchased NeverWinter Nights Platinum Edition which consists of the original game plus Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark.
The installation is at version 1.63 and I have been trying to update to version 1.69 by means of the patches downloaded from nwn.bioware.com. These patch files are about 300 Mb each in size and are called
NWNEnglish1.69OrigUpdate.exe
NWNEnglish1.69HotUUpdate.exe
NWNEnglish1.69SoUUpdate.exe

If I try to apply these patches by cd to .wine/drive_c/NeverWinterNights/NWN and type wine filename I get the reply
You cannot use this patch with your current install of NeverWinter Nights. I get this with the 1.68 patch as well.
If I start the game and select Update I am told that the update is pinging nwpatch.bioware.com. I then get a message that a connection to the internet was not detected or the patch server might be down.
Pinging nwpatch.bioware.com shows that there is a connection,

I have downloaded NWUpdate version 1.24
Can anyone help ?
TIA

If you are only interested in playing the game, then I suggest using the
native version which was released for linux.

The client should be availabel from bioware's website, and if necessary
the data files as well.

Other than that the only thing you really need from your purchase is the
serial key.

Aside from simply testing NeverWinder Nights on wine, since there is a
native client available, its not really worth fixing any bugs found.
