New Patch (v.3.06) For Dominions 3: The Awakening!

[thejeff]

Upgrade to Edgy, it has glibc2.4.

Should be a pretty painless upgrade, from what I know of Ubuntu. It's been released for 3-4 months, so it should be stable.

I'm not sure I like the idea of upgrading my distribution just because of this. I specifically selected 6.06 because it was the "long term support" version; I'm pretty sure there isn't much in the newest things that I need.

If I really have to upgrade my Linux distribution just because of Dom3, then I'll really be upset. I just checked the requirements on the original version, and it says libc >= 2.1.92. Whatever really required the change, I'm pretty curious.

Cheers. I'll check it out right away.

[thejeff]

Understood. I'm also curious what required it. If anything actually required it?

I personally wouldn't worry about the long term support, unless it was some critical server type machine. (Which probably wouldn't be running Dominions). But I like having the newest things.

On the other hand, it doesn't look like Debian unstable has libc 2.4, either. <rant> What were they thinking, requiring it!!</rant>

I saw a topic where cave provinces were listed as "junk"??
Are cave provinces still working or just not working for the DAWN map?

the patch doesn't seem to be working for me. the installer keeps giving me the message

Dominions 3 has not been totally updated because of the following
reason:

CRC Error - cannot update the following file:
C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe

You will have to run this utility again to completely update Dominions
3.




and it doesn't matter how many times i run it, it does the same thing every time. and i tried running it fresh off a restart to see if any programs i had open were screwing it up.
i just got the game in the mail today and i can't wait to play AGH!

try installing a previous patch and then try the most recent patch.

back to the questions:

tryed that too. i updated to 3.04 from a fresh install then to 3.06 and the same thing happened.

[calmon]

And dom3 is closed while installing?
Try to update a 3.00 version 3.06 includes all patches.

[BigDisAwesome]

yep its closed.
and to make sure i'm not just crazy i even uninstalled it 1 more time, deleted the directory, put a fresh install on, and tryed to patch. same problem. i'm gonna try to redownload the patch to see if it got corrupted somehow.
