Patch details for SoU v1.32 English
Neverwinter Nights Game

Made some fixes to prevent game/character/server hacking. Sorry, but we will never publically discuss specific changes to the game with regards to hacking the game
Added some safety checks to the CD checking code. Hopefully this will prevent silly messages from Windows asking you to insert your NWN CD into your hard drive. Doing this might void your hard drive's warranty
Fixed a server crash when the last two members of a party would leave the party at the same time
Fixed a nasty frame rate killing bug - if you fired lots of missile weapons with some form of added damage (eg. fire) eventually your frame rate would slow to a crawl
Made a fix to wounding
Fixed some display issues in the internet multiplayer server list:
older servers are not listed (some were being shown)
newer servers are listed, but the Connect button is disabled
if you don't have the required expansion pack(s) for the listed server the Connect button is disabled
Details page shows XP requirements in the version number slot (eg. "7041 + XP1 + XP2") and is highlighted in red if you don't meet the requirements
