I'm slowly getting a handle on some of the more mysterious problems that have plagued the beta release. For those of you having problems, here's a quick troubleshooting guide:

• Make sure you're running the latest NWN2 patch (1.11). If you aren't, you'll need to repatch and restart the module.
• Try restarting the game (e.g. export your character, start DW1, and choose "Jump to next module"). If you turn on debug mode before you talk to the dock master, I think you can buy a ship immediately (if not, leave the docks and come back). This can at least tell you if the ship buy problem was fixed.
• Check your override folders and make sure there's nothing in there.
• If you're running VISTA, make sure you run NWN2 as an administrator (right-click and choose Run as Administrator). If you don't, it seems that NWN2 can't create files in the temporary folder needed for a campaign to work. You can end up never getting permission to buy ships and other weird issues.
• Turn on debug mode using the Game Options and try whatever's breaking. Sometimes useful tidbits show up in the chat window.
