Greeting all fellow prisoners of the mist!
We are now finally ready to do our first major test of the NWN:Enhanced Edition. BeamDog has gone to great lengths to make sure that previous content remains compatible with the EE version, but with almost fifteen years of customizing this game, there are inevitably a lot of things that may potentially break. Therefore, we hope that all of you that are able will help evaluating and debugging this new version so that the eventual transition will go as smooth as possible.
To help us hunt down bugs and get an early taste of POTM:EE, you need the following:
-
Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition, available on
Steam or at
BeamDog's website (recommended, also includes steam key). You need version 8166, which is the most recent non-developer build (so just let Steam or the BeamDog client update the game normally for you).
-
Install our main download packages and this 2.20_test4 update package. You need to place the files under "Documents \ Neverwinter Nights \ (respective subfolder)". The easiest way to get our main download packages is just to copy them from your existing (non-EE) install. Copy all the files under you "hak", "tlk" and optionally "portraits" and "override" folder to the respective folders of "Documents \ Neverwinter Nights", then copy the files from the above linked package, letting them overwrite the existing.
-
Direct Connect to 46.4.59.55:5124 or find the server in the server list (as "Ravenloft - Prisoners of the Mist").
- Use the password "
EETest" (without quotation marks) to get in.
You should find a copy of all your existing characters there. You will be given the option to level up to level 20 and granted permission to every prestige class. Make sure to verify that everything on your character works and if not post a bug report (if it's not there already).
Please prefix the bug-report topic with the letters "EE".
IMPORTANT: Note that all that transpires during this test should not be considered in character and will not have any effect on the on-goings on the main server. Whatever happens to your character during this test will be reverted once we do the actual migration. You are welcome to still roleplay but you are not required to.
Best regards,
The Development Team
