We've now loaded a new version of the hak on the test server to test new features and changes. Additionally, we've loaded the latest preview patch of patch .36, which you can get on Steam, by subscribing to the beta/preview branch.
At this point we'll need your help testing this new content to make sure it works properly and there are no bugs. If you wish to help us test, you'll need to download the following haks:
-
CEP 2.65 (if you don't already have it, download and extract to your My Documents\Neverwinter Nights\ folder)
-
POTM Hak Test - 2_30.7z (extract to your My Documents\Neverwinter Nights\ folder)
Once you have extracted both haks into the Neverwinter Nights folder, you will find our test server at IP Address & Port:
46.4.59.55:5124 - use it for "Direct Connect". Once connected, you can either use existing characters or create a new one, using the new class, which can be found at the bottom of the list of classes; all new characters can freely level up to level 20 on the test server for now. You can find more detailed information
here.
Try to test as many things as possible, and report anything that feels off, or incorrect on the forums.
