Bugzilla Bug 131499

please update ebuilds.

NOTE in the ebuild that this version is INCOMPATIBLE with all previous
savegames.


thanks

for those of you that updated to 1.67 yourself and found yourself without any
NPC's anywhere:

Hi all,

If you've downloaded any of the patches for linux 1.67 and you have a problem
with SOU (or any NPC's not spawning), there was an error in the build of the
final patches that resulted in a .o file being wrong, which caused problems.
This has been fixed, and the patches have been updated. For those who have
already downloaded the 1.67 patch, there is a "small" update available to fix
the affected files at
http://files.bioware.com/neverwinternights/updates/linux/167/linuxclient167fix.tar.gz

If you have the English XP1 or XP2 patch, you should also remove the
dialogf.tlk file as it does not belong there either.

Sorry for the confusion.

Owen.

According to the 1.67 FAQ they are compatable:
  Will my savegames still work with patch 1.67?
  Yes, our patches do not break savegame compatibility.

it was mentioned by a moderator that they wouldn't be compatible, and I've seen
it myself -- my savegames got screwed over along with a couple of my friends.
Even with the 1.67 fix (original 1.67 release was broken for Linux), I was
missing all the NPCs.

?

Just what I've experienced....

I've been working on it since you told me on IRC.  It sucks that I didn't keep
all of the distfiles that I had before, so this'll take a little while longer
than I had hoped.

I've now updated to 1.67 in portage for both the split and the unsplit ebuilds.
 I tested both versions and was able to load my saved games perfectly fine.
