Open your Steam Library.
Right-Click on Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition and select Properties.
Go to the Betas tab.
In the dropdown menu, select "oldstable".

It should download the changes and roll back your install in just a few seconds.

If you follow the steps in the post above you, you will roll back to the working version though.

On a related note, any devs know when Arelith will be updated? Using oldstable, my Steam workshop based overrides like HANDS and portraits aren't working!

We’ll update soon.
Need to get the handover on the how to, and then we’ll update. Probably within 24-48 hours.

Disguises are broken due to the NWNX plugin missing an element used by the disguising feature.

It's not related to the Beamdog EE updates in any way; aside from an NWNEE update meaning more NWNX updates are required by the NWNX team.

My understanding is Beamdog is updating the client in a way that will support disguises, there've been other threads on it. It was supposed to go into "the next patch". Which is this patch.

Some features(mainly code optimizations from what I've heard) from NWNX were put into NWNEE, so it's possible they're adding that into the core game.
I hadn't personally heard anything about that yet though.


EDIT: Oh yeah, You're right.

I've submitted a change to make SetName() work on PCs. It will probably be in the next game patch. After that, it's up to the Arelith developers to hook it up and make it work.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It's not in the patch notes, though. http://blog.beamdog.com/2018/10/neverwi ... ition.html

Never ever trust the release notes. Back in the Bioware days. They would release stuff in patches and leave them out of the release notes. I don't know about Beamdog however, but I think some of the guys are the ones that worked on the NWN.

I would not be suprised to find out there are bugfixes not spelled out in the release notes. Sometimes this is dont to throw modders and hackers for a loop.

I can confirm that sadly, the Disguise Patch is /not/ in this update yet. However, the Shoulder/Belt Bugfix is.

Bear with me a while longer, while I wait for the "how to" on updating our server, should be soon though!

When you hit the update button on the beamdog client before time.

Timezones make me sad.
Update: should have instructions by my Sunday morning at the latest, after which we’ll update.

Sorry for the delay. Next time will go faster :)
