Hi --

Anyone else having trouble patching on a Mac? I put the patch folder and the dom3 app on the desktop, run patch.command and get

"Patching Dominions 3, please wait...
cp: Info.plist: No such file or directory
cp: PkgInfo: No such file or directory"

If I open up the Dom 3 package, those files are there.
Thanks

Ok, the Mac terminal screen says it fails to patch, but it actually patches. As far as I can tell all the content is there, but the title screen reads 3.09.

Quick, somebody remind how patching can affect MP games. If I patch and the server doesn't, is that a problem?

Yes. The server must patch first.

If you have an older version I believe the server will inform you and tell you to upgrade.

It's easy to make a copy of the current version before upgrading and switch between the two as needed.

How would that work? Just make a copy the dominions3 folder anywhere, patch the original, and then just use the copy to play online until the servers get patched?
