Vanishing generals
This is a curious bug that has begun arrising in my game. I load the game, give a few orders to some generals, but then suddenly the option to select generals dissapears. They just don't exist on the left of my screen anymore, I can do nothing.
Is this an intentional gameplay feature?- you can only give so many orders or somesuch? As its darn annoying... |
Re: Vanishing generals
That is either an anti-piracy feature, or a CD-Key error, depending on whether you have a ligitimate copy of the game or not.
If you do have a legit copy, then try updating to the most recent patch (3.26), finding and deleting a file called "key" in your Dominions folder, and then re-entering your CD-Key when prompted. That should take care of the disappearing commander menu/GUI. Here is a link to the latest patch. (halfway down the page on the right) http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwint...DOM3_page.html And here (I think) is the link to customer support if you do have a genuine CD-Key problem. https://www.gamersfront.com/store/us...p&type_error=1 |
Re: Vanishing generals
Aha, right. Strange its just started now, was playing no problem for a few days. Will try putting in my key again I guess.
edit- can't seem to find this key file. Is it called something else? |
Re: Vanishing generals
Anotehr questions: Do you have lots of commanders in these provinces? If you have a lot, all of them are not shown simultaneously and you need to scroll the commander list with the arrows next to the commanders. You can also use the < and shift-< keyboard commands to adjust the size of your commander list (either shrink or enlarge).

Re: Vanishing generals
I sometimes find that when my mouse cursor is on the right side of the screen if I bring up the orders menu it appears off screen (well most of its off-screen) to the right. I just close it, move the cursor to the left and open it again. No worries!

Re: Vanishing generals
It's called "key" and is in the dominions3 directory (unless it's something quirky with Windows Vista/7 or Mac OS).

And putting the key in again seems to do it. Odd.
