Re: New Patch For Dominions 3: The Awakening!
I have that problem too. I noticed that the GUI disappears ONLY when I have a look at a commander (I rename a lot of them) from the main map, then go back to the main map again. I doesn't always happen, but every 2-5 turn is a good approximation.
There is a easy fix to this, at least in my case : I don't look at the commanders from the main map. Instead, I open the army setup for the province where the commander is (shortcut : t) and I look at the commander from there. The GUI never disappears when I close the army setup.
So to sum up:
Main map -> Commander view -> Main map : GUI disappears
Main map -> Army setup -> Commander view -> Army setup -> Main map : No problem at all
I hope this works for you.

Re: New Patch For Dominions 3: The Awakening!
It's rather bizarre. I've had no problems whatsoever with the new patch. I patched to 3.04 originally and then to 3.06 and never had anything at all. The only thing that I sometimes see disappearing is the commander actions menu when you click on the orders button, and that because the game displaces the action menu off the screen. Esc --> try again brings it back onscreen every time.

Re: New Patch For Dominions 3: The Awakening!
Yes, I noticed the bug only occurs when I'm coming back to the main map after selecting a commander, but going in to the commander view through the army setup isn't a workable long-term fix, I'm afraid. I'm often working with provinces that have lots of commanders, and I tend to sort them by what they're doing, which is not something that I can see from the army set-up screen. Also, I don't usually bother to rename commanders, so trying to remember if its Xutholchi or Xuchantipi that's supposed to be the one I'm giving the jade knife to isn't something that I'm really interested in doing, although I suppose it would be a helpful memory training exercise.
Basically, though, I'm not that interested in a difficult work-around - I think for the time being I'll go back to the 3.04 patch, which worked fine for me. I hope this is something the devs can fix, though.

I agree... no problems at all after patching to 3.06

Re: New Patch For Dominions 3: The Awakening!
Game worked fine for me before this patch now i get the same problem as described before everything going invisible except for the map.
Is it possible to go to the previous version without reinstalling the game?

Re: New Patch For Dominions 3: The Awakening!
Sometimes a patch can change files that were not changed in the previous patch. Patching backwards would cause different strange results
Try deleting the key then typing it in from your manual.
If that doesnt fix it then contact support
