    Here are today's BioWare forum highlights, collected by NWVault. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    AC / Criticals / No. Generator errors
    The random number generator in NWN is fine. Usually, when people are getting hit, they forget that there is "flat footed" in the game. (i.e. you are hit by a ranged opponent and just stand there, your dex bonus will not be taken into account for the AC calculation).

    Longbow problem

    ---------------
    When I used a longbow model that was added in HotU (the bulkier ones) in Prelude of the NWN Campaign, the bow buckled in on itself so that the top half overlapped the bottom half, but left the tip floating. The only way I can put it back to normal was to drop the bow and pick it back up, but as soon as I fire it again, it re-buckles. Does anyone know what is happening and how it can be fixed?PS: This happened on my new PC which is not connected to the internet, so the game is not running on version 1.62, but the previous version.
    ---------------

    An issue with some of the bow animations was fixed at some point. I believe the fix made it in to the 1.62 version of the game (if not, the fix should be in the upcoming 1.63 version).

    Game freezes and sound loops on multiplayer servers

    ---------------
    Thank you for your answer. In the meantime i tried to find out why it crashed, and you are right. Its while throwing Bigby's crushing hand, and on certain map title sets
    ---------------

    If you have found a reliable way to reproduce the problem in a small module, please send a bug report describing the steps necessary to reproduce the problem to nwbugs@bioware.comIf you have a saved game that reproduces the problem every time, please attach that to the bug report as well.

    Update issues

    ---------------
    This may sound silly but i am trying to update NWN and Shadows of Undrentide but my internet connection times out after two hours and i can only get max of 94% of update before i am disconnected.Where is the basic update program so i can ask a mate on broadband to download for me. I found the critical update but as i do not have any other problems is this safe to use?
    ---------------

    The critical rebuild is perfectly safe. The patch file that the updater uses actually modifies your existing files to change them into what they need to be for the patched version of the game. The critical rebuild just replaces your existing files with the final copies of the files that you need (resulting in the patch file being much larger, but otherwise gives you the same end result). Hope that helps.
