Unless you are on a mac apparently...

Which I am now (since my PC flipped out). I haven't heard definitively if this is just a version naming error of if we Mac users actually have 3.09.

Thanks for the patch! Definitely the most exciting event of my month.

*update*-has anyone tried the new hydras yet? They definitely have made my coolest units list (and great graphics now, too).

I think I'm patching incorrectly because my game is messed up. How would one patch under linux?

1. Extract and overwrite everything from the patch to the dom3 game directory (the one with the executable).
2. Make the binary executable with chmod +x dom3.
3. Play the game.
4. Eat and drink something or you will surely die.
5. Repeat 3.

Thats what I did, but the game was still messing up. I reinstall dominions and tried it again and the game was still really buggy. It has problems connecting to multi player, problems generating turns, and it just crashes for no reason.

The patch just made the game 5 times buggier, and now I have to downgrade it and be left out of multi player games until they fix the bugs in the patch.
