Utterdark: EA PBEM (Full and playing)

[Thrawn]

The new patch is out, 3.08. From what I've read, some of us upgrading, and some of us not, poses problems. There also might be problems/bugs (gasp!) with the new patch.

I'm thinking of upgrading to 3.08, but keeping a 3.06 version for MP until everything settles down. I found a post on how to do this:

"Go into your Dominions3 folder, copy/paste the dom.exe file to you desktop, rename it to 306 for example. Install 3.08 patch. Now cut/paste 306 back to where you got it from. To do your MP games remember to load the game with 306, otherwise load normally to enjoy 3.08.

DO NOT attempt to do your MP turns with 3.08 until the host has upgraded, you will crash the server and after do you turn again with 3.06. "

So do I play my turn with 3.06 or 3.08?

[Thrawn]

I vote we do our turns with 3.06, using the method outlined above.

My current time constraints keeps me only active in our MP game till at least Saturday, so I can keep 3.06 or update whenever it's convenient for everyone else here.

Apparently that method of backing up v3.06 might not work with this patch - best to copy the whole folder.

[Foodstamp]

Well I patched before I backed up the entire folder. I still have the 3.06 dom3 exe, but unless I revert back to the old patch, my other files are 3.08.

I vote to make the leap to 3.08 now to save the confusion and hassle of trying to run the game in an old version.

[Thrawn]

Okay, works for me. Everyone...patch!

[Salamander8]

I'll patch once I get home tonight from work.

Which version are we using?

[Thrawn]

We're going to use 3.08, so please send 3.08 turns. If you sent 3.06, just go ahead and redo them in 3.08.

Cool?
