Pantheons is running, seems ok.

Yes, I'd prefer to update to 2.14 as quickly as possible.

I disagree. Personally I would prefer to wait until Mose will upgrade his server.

BTW it seems like KaranGame is still down atm.

I get a strange response to this - it flickers on the screen with teh mation flags & if I click mine - timing it just right I get my previous turn which I have done not the next one which the flickering flag says I have not,

Anyway I will follow it up when I am sober

hmm we have that problem w/ Karanian_conquest. it is very strange.

a lot easier than trying to click is to just hold down your mouse button in the appropriate spot.

I'm getting the same thing in Pantheons. And it doesn't help if you actually manage to click it... it just opens up the previous turn, not the current one.

I have the same problem

My other game on Sheap's server seems to be fine though .

May I ask why? Unlike the 2.13 patch, which had a few errors, this one fixes network problems and other bugs. While I've never seen a reason to play a non-latest Version, with 2.13 I understood people who wanted to stay with 2.12.

With 2.14 however, I see no reason to keep playing the older Version.

I have the same flickering problem with Pantheons too.

I've tried to wipe out my previously done turn. I still get blinking screen and when I try to get a turn from the server I'm getting Nagot gick fel: "ppt: error reading ret turn". It looks that something broke on the server

I am resistant to this for 2 reasons... First 1000 yard stare says that the new patch is buggy, and since I don't look into that sort of thing and he does I trust his judgement.

Second - since 1000 yard hosts my other games and he is not upgrading yet - that would make it difficult for me to upgrade on one and not the other.

However this all may be moot if he changes his mind

It's quite easy to have multiple Version of Dom2. Just copy the old .exe before patching. Then you can start dom213 (for example) to play games that haven't been upgraded, and the patched dom2 for games on 2.14.

So, on the client side, there is no problem. And so far, "new patch is buggy" has been said about all patches. For some (2.13) it was true, for others not so. In the end, everybody updated anyway, so why not do it right away. This way, IF the patch is buggy, at least we can figure it out and give Illwinter bugreports.
