the camera issue will be fixed for 8165, which will ship before release. As a workaround, you can meanwhile skip using "Drive Mode" camera (it might need a module/save reload though).
Now there's a smooth way for upgrading from NWN:EE to NWN:EE Digital Deluxe available.
A new upgrade code is now available on beamdog.com for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition base game owners who want the Digital Deluxe package. Use coupon code NWNDDUPGRADE to get a $19.99 discount on your Digital Deluxe upgrade order.
I have a question, right here! I tend to travel to places where I don't get internet, and have used my laptop to often play BG:EE/IWD:EE (thanks for no DRM)
However, this steam workshop is quite tempting. Can I use Steam services and key at my home PC - while using beamdog client on my laptop without internet access? (Not at the same time, of course) Better format of above question: Does activating Steam key nullify Beamdog launcher key?
If I upgrade to EE, will I still be able to play on older PWs that did NOT upgrade?
If the answer is "no," can EE be installed separately, so I can run either one depending on the PW I want to play on? (I'm assuming that EE overwrites earlier versions of NWN or, at least, parts of them - I could be wrong).
Thanks!
P.S. Huge thank you to Beamdog for updating this amazing game!
No, you cannot play on old 1.69 servers with EE. Yes, EE is installed separately from the 1.69 version, there will be no conflicts. With a little bit of tweaking of the nwn.ini files (from either version) you can even share the hak files to save on space.
I understand that I can start the game offline by running the .exe file in Beamdog Library/bin but how do I start the linux version from /bin in offline mode? (I'm travelling and do not always have internet.)

Open terminal, type: cd ~/Beamdog\ Library/00829/bin/linux-x86
./nwmain-linux You need to 'cd' into the directory as the game looks for data files relative to pwd.
It is said that patience is a virtue. However it is now nearly two months since I brought up (in another thread) the fact that the FAQ is out of date in regards to how to launch the toolset. It still does not mention that you can now launch it directly from the BeamDog launcher instead detailing how to launch it from within the install folder. I think perhaps using a pointy stick to poke the person in charge of the FAQ has proved to be too genteel a method of getting it updated. Maybe unleashing the War-Kobolds on them is now in order @JuliusBorisov ?

change YourName to your User name. Change InstallationFolder to your install folder. All the old NWN manuals and expansion manuals are in there.
