You can only rename if renaming was enabled in the setup.

Presuming that Dom doesn't write to the Windows registry in a fashion that precludes multiple copies in different directories, installing a 2.06 Version is an option. But I'm not going to go to that bother unless I know that (1.) IW isn't going to fix it today, and (2.) that I can have more than one Dom installed on the same XP machine.

EDIT: close examination of the XP registry shows that installing a second Version in a separate directory may break the ability to uninstall (or perhaps even to run) the first-installed copy. Until I get definite confirmation from someone that you can have two copies of Dom installed on the same XP machine, and that they both operate flawlessly, this is not something that I'll be doing.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Game setup? Okay, thanks Kris for the prompt answer. Useful to know. Too bad that won't help in the half-dozen SP games I've already got. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I imagine they are scrambling right this moment to fix the code in the demo Version before they release those, since they still have time to avoid having those go out with the Seithkona bug. I also presume that once they've done that, they'll decide how to correct the full-game patch.

Re: patch 2.08 is out
 
Also, please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but: Are all the changes from 2.06 included in the 2.08 patch? Or will I have to install 2.06 first, and then 2.08 on top of it? I don't have a problem with it either way, but I'd like to know for sure.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes. All spells with area 0 struck twice. Paralyze, Soul Slay, Nether darts, orb lightning, etc.

Area spells (fireball etc) were not affected by the bug.

Nether darts was particulary nasty. If a unit was hit and survived the first he got the feeble minded affliction and had less resistance when the twin strike got him.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">This explains why those spells you listed were so almost-invariably fatal. Thanks for fixing this! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
