NWN2 - v1.05 Patch Dramas

Obsidian released the (supposedly) Final v1.05 patch for NWN2 earlier but pulled it almost immediately when users complained the toolset no longer started.  Unfortunately, the standalone version of the patch remained on NW Vault for a little while, so users continued to patch.  We'll let you know when the fixed version is reinstated but here's the latest from Rob McGinnis in the meantime:

Well, it appears there was an issue with the build process on the 1.05 patch. Our systems here didn't have a problem running the patch but, within minutes of the patch being available, people started reporting problems with the toolset not starting.

Shortly after this, a well-meaning community member published a work-around. Unfortunately the work-around may cause issues when it comes time to patch again later.

So, rather than cause a bigger issue, we have pulled the patch from the servers.

We will have a new patch available as soon as possible. The new patch should be able to be applied over the beta and today's version of 1.05 if you happened to patch already.

We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause you.
