There is no TLK afaik. I didn't need one when i installed nwn2 the other day anyway.

Grab worldgate and run that,- should sort you out.

(Since you didn't mention it I should also point out that you need the NWN2 expansion MotB)

There is one, but it's always proved a little secretive.

Guess TSM requires it but not BG2,- hrm.

Updated the download page to mention the TLK.

Wouldn't have been a problem had you run worldgate though...

Really ?! Why haven't you mentioned this before ?

That's a pretty big problem.

AL ?

Haven't mentioned it before because it never struck me as a big problem ;)

And maybe it is on Worldgate. I'm often wrong about these things. Certainly not a big problem. It affects builders who actually load the toolset only. (Kudos to Damart for getting to that stage :))

That suggested to me its required to play. If it's only for builders its certainly no biggy.
According to AL, it does update via worldgate.

and so DLed them all as single HAKS using the info from the Download section which didnt itemise the tlk file.

Tried to install Worldgate since but not sure if its sorted...

anyhow... i got it to work now...

The tlk file was added to the main ALFA-Live worldgate alongside the haks, and is required for login to TSM currently, though it isn't really used for much yet.

The various beta servers may or may not have adopted it yet, depending.

It is also listed among the files for download for NWN2 here:

and up for direct download here:

heheh, that makes all the sense

Are you saying through your testing, the new patch requires a statically linked tree of the toolset to function ?

Could it possibly be that you are incorrect ? or is this like, a known issue, that they decided to do this ?

Either you're full of it or they have no idea how to code AT ALL. I count neither out at this point, through I would place a decent bet on this not being a serious bug, simply cause i doubt they are THIS retarded.
