Way to not update until Servers do.
I think most of us do this anyway, but those new players and some not tech savvy may not so...
instead of using the Beamdog or Steam launchers, you can simply ...
create a nwnmain.exe shortcut through your beamdog library or Steam folder for your desktop. this can also be done with the toolset for those of us who like to tinker around.
this will let us play the game or tinker about and not worry about hitting the upgrade issue being accidentally ahead of Arelith servers

Yes, thank you.
Re: Way to not update until Servers do.
Has the steam version updated too?
Re: Way to not update until Servers do.
not sure as i used the Beamdog client not Steam, but I think someone said you have to disable Steam Auto Updates

Re: Way to not update until Servers do.
I know a few people who have already had this issue. I admit I don't know much about how steam handles updates, but even clicking a separate desktop icon still seems to trigger the steam window and with steam open at all it will automatically update games without notifying you. Is there a way to turn that off?
Re: Way to not update until Servers do.
That doesn't actually allow you to turn off updates at all.
Re: Way to not update until Servers do.
you dont open the steam window, you create a shortcut to the actual game nwnmain.exe inside the folder which bypasses the steam triggers and beamdog

Re: Way to not update until Servers do.
I haven't set it up myself yet, but it seems that if you create a shortcut that points directly to nwmain instead of using the normal Steam executable link and set to 'Only update this game when I launch it', it doesn't get hooked into by Steam and thus doesn't trigger an update.

Re: Way to not update until Servers do.
I was doing something silly too- If you use the Beam dog launcher, I still had mine set as 'headstart' which was the 'beta' when the game was still in development. I hadn't thought I needed to change that to the normal EE file- but you do! The Headstart gets the beta updates which are never aligned with the Arelith server updates.
TLDR make sure you're not using the head start edition
