Nwn2 Patch 1.20 To 1.23
If you are joining a multiplayer game where the server is on patch 1.20, will the 1.22 patch join it ok? BG2, you had to have matching patches, but I think NWN isn't that way.I'm online playing it but the lag always causes a delay when I make actions. Is that kind of like having a low initiative when battle occurs? I have to say, the lag makes the game much less enjoyable, but at least it works.I do like NWN, but I have to say, BG2 is still a much better game IMHO. I like the hand painted graphics better - they are more unique and variable than the 'tilesets' based 3D graphics where all screens are made up from pieces and parts. They did a decent job, but 3D will have to get more sophisticated for it to have the beauty and variability of the hand painted 2D back grounds!
Also, the joinable NPCs and the avatars aren't that great looking either. Maybe NWN2 or in another 5 years, 3D will catch up. FYI guys and gals, every since patch 1.21, there is new SecuROM copy protection version included. It was reported on the NWN forums that a goodly number of people couldn't play the game after 1.21 was installed.

Apparently some CDROM drives had problems with the wonderful SecuROM software. Aledgedly it also searches your computer for certain software and won't run also, like CD burning software etc.I'm waiting for a bug fix that hoses the game of the server computer when someone joins via the interet in multiplay mode.
This has happened an number of times when I import a character into the game and I get a black screen (except for my character and the side bar). There is no dialogue seen and then I get booted. Other joined players get booted too and then the game save on the NWN server gets corrupted.
