    Has the expansion been released? I haven't seen any pre-order options on the internet nor the local stores so if this is the case, it sure comes as a suprise. I thought it was set for early 2008?

    yup, for some reason, the MOTB installation doesn't properly patch the original NWN2 O/C, so you need to patch the original game first, then install the xp pac, and in the end you run the hotfix

    if you just install the xp pac over a fresh install of original game, the NWN2 O/C won't function properly anymore

    It's worth noting that apparently user interface mods like xUI are, as for now, incompatible with MoTB and caused the game to crash when you end the dialogue with the Red Wizard right at the beginning.

    That means you need to un-install UI mods first.

    [​IMG] Here's the latest:

    "These are the updated instructions for installing MoTB. Hopefully this will clear up any confusion you might have.

    Fresh Install
    (no previous installation of NWN2)
    1. Install NWN2 (do not patch yet)
    2. Install MoTB
    3. Run the Autoupdater to patch

    Installing MoTB with a previous install of NWN2
    (regardless of NWN2 version)
    1. Install MoTB
    2. Run the Autoupdater to patch

    If you are having problems using the autoupdater, such as receiving corrupt file messages, you may need to turn off your Antivrus programs and/or firewall temporarily.

    Antivirus and software-based firewalls are known to cause some problems with the autoupdater and with game saves from time to time, as they interfere with writing to the hard drive once in a while."

    So, it finally makes sense now.

    My copy from amazon, pre-ordered... won't arrive 'til the end of October. Kinda lame. I don't get why 5 day shipping takes 3 weeks. But a few of the good things is I wasn't too busy playing MotB to study for my exams and I skipped this installation problem :p .
