I asked this is the general DAO forum, but no one replied.

If I have to reinstall a game, but for whatever reason do not want the newest patch (either because it conflicts a mod I use or some esoteric piece of hardware, or because I just don't like it), where can I find the earlier patches?

The NWN site was great about letting us download whichever patch we wanted.  Can we please have the earlier DAO patches placed somewhere accessible (assuming they aren't already and I just can't find them)?

I don't know that they're available for direct download anywhere but at least for now you are able to download them by specifying the exact version number. 1.01b is at http://files.bioware...gonAge1.01b.exe

Does DA support patch reversion?

Since I tend to archive them, I may have a couple of them still on hand on the Hdd for one or the other of my pair of "newer" PCs -- the oldest patch, though, probably got lost in a recent interesting occurrence.  The Checkdisk function turned everything in the game's folder into "lost files", said they were are corrupted, all of them.  I've had to copy everything that belonged in there across my LAN from the one in the bedroom (newest, fastest). 

I haven't tested the next-newest, in here, to see if it still works with those copies.

I doubt it.  The patches would probably be bigger if it did (since each patch would need to include every file that might be changed by subsequent patches - either that or there would need to be some sort of audit trail attached to the patch).
