Makzimia is waiting for the next patch from CEP to come out because he does not want to have BioWare's latest patch and the current version of CEP to conflict with one another. I have no idea when the next CEP patch is due, but I think it's soon.

1.50 beta is out, now, the question is, do we want to update now? or wait for the full 1.50, and no, I have NO idea when that will be. I am in the middle of compiling the mod with 1.50 beta of CEP. Initial look at it, it is fine, however, that being said, it is a 22.5MB file, and for SOME, that is still a lot to download I realise. Final decision is usually mine, and my client end is already updated to both 1.64 and CEP 1.50 BETA in anticipation of switching.
I am open to general opinion, will you or won't you download CEP 1.50 beta?

I'm happy to download anything, but generally think its best to avoid the Beta considering your whole user base is involved.
I am assuming that CEP 1.50 is needed for the NWN 1.64 patch. If 1.64 is as advertised earlier, there are good reasons to want it in play. Do we have any indication when 1.5 is expected to go production? If we dont, I would at least give it a week or so in beta to let others be our guinea pigs. There is some value in not being the first on the block to having the newest toy that ends up getting recalled...

Let me see if I understand this correctly,
1.64 patch is out.
1.64 has some really necessary and useful tidbits both for players, DM's, clients, scripting, bug fixes, etc... I read a few things last night on it all. Lots of good stuff in there. I can understand our anxiousness for it.
*sighs*
CEP1.01 (or current version of CEP) does not comply with 1.64 patch. ie Client Update = can't log in.
1.64 will comply with CEP1.5 But CEP 1.5 is only available in Beta version.
CEP1.5 Has some really neat and new add on features. ie weapons, heads, tile sets, holdable books, monsters, etc... (BTW where is the holdable Beer mug or Keg? EC wants one bad, lol) I can understand our anxiousness for it.
Reverting from 1.64 to 1.62 is a big PITA for non-epic developer computer wiz kids.
Currently you can not play on Fredian if you are 1.64 updated. And Makz is doing every thing he can to test the new gizmos.
OK my opinion is the same as it was 2 days ago before the patch came out. I didn't need the patch then, I don't "NEED" the patch now. Maybe Age has given me more patience but I have learned to turn a blind eye to the shiny new trinket Whino Williams is selling. If it was a proven good product then even Shard would have a few.
I'll wait. But I will download it the second I can play on fredian with all the new stuff RELIABLY. My 0.02
Oh yeah one more thing, is 1.64 useable with non-CEP loads? Or is the conflict purely with CEP? I am not suggesting we dump CEP, no no no, just seems fishy Biowares team is beholden to the CEP team of developers?

Btw just a quick question i haven't installed the patches yet but does it matter which order you do them in?
Should you install NWN HoTU 1.64 first then CEP 1.50 Beta?

If you go ahead and update, I need to know how many have, it is 1.64 patch first, then CEP 1.50. 1.64 patch is NOT 57.9MB UNLESS, you NEED the critical build, the normal patch done via pressing update on menu interface for HotU is only 23.4MB, and will automatically be downloaded, when bioware is less busy, I had to manually grab the crit fix version myself for my updates, was taking too long.
Test server is running, as I said in another thread, and I am holding off on update to main server.

Let us know when/if you decide to update main server. I have no desire to have to 'pull teeth' to get that thing off of this machine  |

If everything looks kosher with 1.64/1.5b then we should give it a day or so. If the 1.5 doesn't go final, and we don't have issue, upgrade.
If we have to upgrade to 1.5(non-beta) later, it can be announced beforehand, giving dial up people time to download it.

My 2 cents worth: Wait till CEP goes full version. Betas have a real nasty tendancy of causing unrepairable errors in NWN files. & the crit rebuild is a major PITA. Stick with 1.62/1.01 cep till it gets stalbe on the 1.64/1.5 CEP.. Not like we will notice huge differences in the sever from player side right away anyhow... Ok a couple new critters & some long known issues fixed... We've lived with them up till now, a few more days won't kill us... Hastily upgrading CAN kill the server & poor Makz's already frayed nerves....
My 2 cents worth,

Fear not, even with 1.01 according to Georg Zoeller, we COULD have run up 1.64, however, knowing that 1.50 was developed in conjunction with 1.64 and has fixes also, makes me much more inclined to go that way.
I have had a couple of players, and a few of my DM's giving it the once over for a number of hours, with various checks, all seems fine.
All being well, as it seems it is, we should look to Sunday for switch over, so, if you have not already got 1.50 beta ready to install, download it, or get it before then, and be prepared.
