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

Electro808 · #1 April 11th, 2007, 04:03 PM

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?

I think ive found a fix for it on another thread. i deleted a key file in the dom directory and re-entered my cd key and it hasn't happened again so far, so hopfully thats it fixed.

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

Dunno if anyone else is getting this bug, but now that I have the patch, whenever I end a turn the game crashes and gives me a message of "ConvArmyNbr: error!"

Menacer, that one sounds like there are units there that shouldn't be, possibly due to modding or some other reason. Or some related issue. The only times I've seen that is when I've tried to use map commands to assign units to a map that don't exist in the game. Please post a more detailed issue report in the bug discussion thread so that it can be hashed out in better detail.

Thats the kindof thing Ive seen from patching backwards. It might not be your problem but I wanted to mention it earlier and couldnt remember the error. The units are in a seperate file. If 3.04 doesnt have a replacement for that file, then 3.06 does change it... then changing back to 3.04 wont put things back completely. Just one example of what back-patching can do.

I'd report more on the bug if there was more to report. I don't have any mods enabled and I went straight from 3.00 to 3.06. I'll also throw this in the bug discussion thread too.

Suggestion: Could the posts announcing new patches include the version number in the title? Can't tell you how many times I see this thread and think I need to go get a new patch...then realize it's still the 3.06 patch being announced as a sticky at the top of the first page.

I am in the same boat. Patch number would be very helpful.
