We've released a beta version for the v1.03 patch today. For instructions on how to apply it, please head over to our NWN2 beta patch website at: http://nwn2.obsidian.net/support/patch_beta.html
Additionally, the beta patch currently has two limitations:
1) This beta patch is currently only compatible with the English version of the game. Localized versions of the patch will be available soon.
2) In order to install the v1.03 Beta Patch, you will need to make sure you are currently running v1.02 of NWN2.
Also, as with all Beta software, this patch is a work in progress. It is highly recommended that you back up your "My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2" folder before installing the Beta patch.
We here at Obsidian greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide on this Beta Patch. We plan to have the final version of the patch (which will support all languages and will be acquired through the autoupdater) available soon.
More: If you are recieving errors patching, please take the following steps:
1) If you have added any plugins, new scripts, or other custom content to the game folder, please temporarily remove remove them before you update the game. Then reapply them once the game is done patching.
2) If this does not work, please try applying the patch while running in Safe Mode.
3) If this does not work, please try backing up your "My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2" directory, uninstalling the game, reinstalling it, updating to 1.02 through the updater, and then applying the Beta Patch.
If you try all of these steps and the patch still does not work, please post in the Technical Support forum with the information it asks you for and we will attempt to diagnose the issue.
More:
is it nessicary to remove all hacks or mods before you update?
It will not be necessary in all cases but modifications to certain files can cause problems with patching. Removing any modifications to the game files would be a good first thing to check if you are having problems patching.
BETA PATCH HERE!
It is, in fact, real, and I just posted the announcement. Please post any feedback and/or issues you have with installing the patch or running the patch once you guys have it up and running.
Bless you, Vault, for keeping this file around. I need the reverter program, but it's disappeared from Atari! Thanks!

I was wondering it there was an EXE file for the new patch? My husband is on deployment to the middle east and does not have access to the internet to use the game updating software.
this patch doesnt fix the problem with the statue of purification bug , where when u click on the statue it sais " faiulure : cant access item while in combat " . please help
Oh I've emersed myself in this game, 60$ worth and 48 hours of frustration!
Should have been english before it was released, ever try to download these patches on modem? I have to wait til I have my DSL reconnected.
Is that fair? After all, NWN didn't have this many problems.
I know, it's a newer game but that's no excuse!

This at least delays our PW's crash. Went from every 5 minutes to every 3 hours. Top quality programming. _________________________ Sysgod

"will this patch fix the issue with origanal campain, my Gith and warlock talk about me holding the enemies off while they speak the true names, but they just stand there and get killed"
I believe that is error 514: User error.
You have to use the Truename scroll from their inventory and target the Reaver to get them to start the cenremony. _________________________ Lan's Placeable Groups v1.5

What I am waiting for is for weapons such as the two bladed sword or double axes.

I'm uncertain whether this is due to the 1.03 patch, but, monks do NOT have the cleave ability at first level.
I am happy that you did implement the weapon combo ability in the quickbar... now if you could only right-click and clear a quickbar slot... _________________________ I'm currently out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

Ion Zin, I may be obtuse, but couldn't you create a new user account on your PC, change all the windows theme stuff to real small and black, and then run the game in windowed mode, maximized? I fat fingered myself into window mode at one point, and the window frame wasn't any more distracting than the screen's frame. Just sit a little closer and you should be able to get immersed .
My real worry for NWN2 is step 3 of the errors on patching. To get the 1.02 installed, I had to uninstall, reinstall and patch to 1.02. If it is going to take uninstall, reinstall, patch 1.02, patch 1.03.... this will get VERY LONG by the time we're up to 1.63! I can sort of understand the no critical rebuild... The patches are huge and the rebuild would be enormous. Perhaps Obsidian can come up with a way to patch from the DVD/CDs and patch in lieu of uninstalls. Not an issue yet, but I can see a problem down the road.
believe my, i have done everything and read everything trying to find a way to fix this issue..and let me say that this patch does not fix this issue in particular..BUT it does make the game much more playable for me frame rate wise..ALTHOUGH, i will not be playing this game until my sky becomes fixed..i just cant "act" like i'm enjoying this game when in all reality i cant even immerse myself in it..

Sounds to me you have no clue about the issue.
Besides the file is here isnt it?
Ion, go and post this kind of stuff on the boards at Bioware. Have you tried all the standard methods of troubleshooting video issues? It sounds like you need to try latest drivers.

Not fixing the crash to desktop on startup issue. here is my 1. thanks for having me still not being able to play the game.
Hi..first i wanna say thanks for releasing this patch..i hope it helps to work out some of the problems i'm having..one problem that i do not see mentioned in the patch notes, that i would really like to see fixed, is the sky only showing up when in window mode. for some reason i can not see the sky unless i'm in window mode. in full screen mode the sky appears black and sometimes seemingly smeared with the trails from other on screen objects..this really kills my ability to become immersed in this game and i would really like to see it fixed..can you tell me if this fix has been included in this patch, and just wasnt mentioned?..
