Hello!

If we have the Steam beta installed and later then we activate the Steam retail key for the Digital Deluxe edition, do we need to download the game again or will the beta files be taken and updated into retail version on Steam?

I am really hyped for the Steam Workshop support. :)

Thank you!

    Hope you don't mind if I tack on a question: But are the Steam version of the EE and Beamdogs EE going to share the same C:\Documents\Neverwinter Nights folder for haks\mods\overides and configuration files? Should we just use one or the other? I'm only interested in the Steam version for access to the nSteam Workshop.

    @GarenRuneblade They share the same Documents folders and as far as I can tell the Steam version also respects the value in the .ini files just like the Beamdog install.

    @fetito666 As far as I am aware they would have different appids, so you'd have to find out what the appmanifest_xxxxx.acf file for DD ed. looks like and replace the beta appmanisfest file with the DD ed appmanisfest. And then most likely run a Verify File Data to check for files that might have changed.

    @fetito666 What @essi2 says is true, the apps will be different. Your saves and all will work, but the game will have to be re-downloaded again.

    @GarenRuneblade All versions of NWN:EE will share the same C:\Documents\Neverwinter Nights folder for haks\mods\overides and configuration file.

    Did you already got the beta steam key?
    I wrote on discord the night between Friday and Saturday. Was it too late?

    If you didn't get a key, message again!

    Is it a lottery?

    @rede9 @Cvijeta You have to PM the keymanager guy in Discord and he'll get back to you with a key when he isn't busy GMing DnD campaigns.
