Upgrade to Edgy, it has glibc2.4.

Should be a pretty painless upgrade, from what I know of Ubuntu. It's been released for 3-4 months, so it should be stable.

Re: Thanks for all the fish!
 

I'm not sure I like the idea of upgrading my distribution just because of this. I specifically selected 6.06 because it was the "long term support" version; I'm pretty sure there isn't much in the newest things that I need.

If I really have to upgrade my Linux distribution just because of Dom3, then I'll really be upset. I just checked the requirements on the original version, and it says libc >= 2.1.92. Whatever really required the change, I'm pretty curious.

Cheers. I'll check it out right away. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Thanks for all the fish!
 

Understood. I'm also curious what required it. If anything actually required it?

I personally wouldn't worry about the long term support, unless it was some critical server type machine. (Which probably wouldn't be running Dominions). But I like having the newest things.

On the other hand, it doesn't look like Debian unstable has libc 2.4, either. <rant> What were they thinking, requiring it!!</rant>

Cave Provinces
 

I saw a topic where cave provinces were listed as "junk"??
Are cave provinces still working or just not working for the DAWN map?

Re: Cave Provinces
 

the patch doesn't seem to be working for me. the installer keeps giving me the message

Dominions 3 has not been totally updated because of the following
reason:

CRC Error - cannot update the following file:
C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe

You will have to run this utility again to completely update Dominions
3.




and it doesn't matter how many times i run it, it does the same thing every time. and i tried running it fresh off a restart to see if any programs i had open were screwing it up.
i just got the game in the mail today and i can't wait to play AGH!

Re: Cave Provinces
 

try installing a previous patch and then try the most recent patch.

Re: Cave Provinces
 

tryed that too. i updated to 3.04 from a fresh install then to 3.06 and the same thing happened.

Re: Cave Provinces
 

And dom3 is closed while installing?
Try to update a 3.00 version 3.06 includes all patches.

Re: Cave Provinces
 

yep its closed.
and to make sure i'm not just crazy i even uninstalled it 1 more time, deleted the directory, put a fresh install on, and tryed to patch. same problem. i'm gonna try to redownload the patch to see if it got corrupted somehow.
