I am away Sunday and Monday. As a result, this evening (Saturday) after hosting, I will switch to 72h QH. Also, I will apply patch 3.01 to the server. SO ALL FUTURE TURNS HAVE TO BE COMMITTED USING PATCH 3.01.

Are you certain we want to patch in light of the 3.01 bug of doom horrors attacking HoF heroes without horror mark or warning?

Well, the other 4 MP games I'm playing are patched so I guess I will be submitting 3.01 turns whether the server is patched or not.

I for one am not comfortable with the idea of having a death warrant out for every HoF commander, pretenders included.

I think we should revert the game back to unpatched, especially since JK said a hotfix is not on the way.

Ok, after DDD has also decided not to use the patched version of the game, I think it is fair to stay with the unpached version as well. I have no clue what happens if we use turns created with the patched version. I have changed the timer back to 36h QH, please redo your turns 7 with 3.00 !!!

Ok, so I will probably need to install a second instance of the game. That should take care of the problem.

I saved my dom3.exe before patching. I patched and created a dom3.exe(this is v3.01), dom3_300.exe and dom3_301.exe. So, you can play some games with v3.00 and some games with v3.01.

I know that it is a nuisance, but there is little that I can do. As already said, the game is jinxed and it is just getting better and better.

I'm sorry but I prefer have one that all these others

Um - given that a lot of those "fixes" only refer to documentation / descriptions, sizes, other trivial matters, or things that can't do anything for a game that's already started (all the modding stuff, pretender changes, etc), _yes_? Especially given that some of the "fixes" are lies - "fewer doom horrors (more unique horrors, yay!)".

My Pretender was just ganked by the Hunter of Heroes. I guess I should have just left it patched afterall!
