Updating Old Version of Dominions 2
 

I had to reinstall dominions 2 from my original CD after formatting and installing a new OS on my machine. It is version 2.0.2 and after looking for some time I could not find the older patches for the game. Like 2.0.2 or 2.1.2. Can someone tell me how to get these. I need them for the mac os specifically.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks a million Major General for the quick and useful links!!!

Damn, it appears that I am going to need something even older than the 211 osx patch for version 202 of the game. If anyone has one of the older patches, could you please post me a link to it.

Thanks

FYI, I pulled those patches directly from Shrapnel's D2 OSX downloads directories. I was unable to locate 2.06 or 2.08 patches, but some player, somewhere, ought to have them.

I'm sure IW still keeps them. You may need to wait until JK at IW, or one of the Shrapnel folks can come to your aid.

It is possible to update directly from version 2.02 to the latest version with only that one patch. So you shouldn't need the old ones unless you are participating in an old mp game.

I have been unable to update directly with the 2.15 patch since day one. I get no message from the patch application. It simply doesn't do anything regardless of whether I select the dominions 2 app directly or drag and drop it onto the patch window.

I have read and write permissions to the file and even made sure it was in the same directory as the dom2config file and the key file. I am totally stumped, so that is why I was thinking that maybe I would need an older version of the patch file. I am running Macintosh OS X 10.3.8 and the game loads perfectly. I think my only course left is to uninstall it and install it again.

I think that the Mac application off the CD was locked. I had the same problems until I unlocked it.

Yes, for some reason, the OS X version can only be updated from the immediately previous version or from the version found on the CD (after fixing permissions).

Does anyone have version 2.06 and 2.08 patch files for the mac os version of dominions 2. I will need those in order to progress to the 2.15 version of the application if Ygorl is correct. Or maybe someone can give me a link to a fully updated app file for dominions 2 if these patches can't be found.

Thanks for all the info and help guys!!!
