patch failing to apply?

[NTJedi]

I think the suggestion from either foodstamp or myself must have worked because the OP hasn't responded.

aaminoff uploaded the file for me, so I don't need any more help with my problem, thank you. The game started up fine, hope I don't encounter the end turn hang problem anymore.

Nope, the next turn generation still hangs. It got to a point where it said 'Resolving Battle (turn 1)', or something along those lines, but nothing after that. It probably enters an infinite loop. I have to forcibly close the application through the task manager processes. How long does it take to generate the next turn, usually?

This is good advice!

Actually, I had forgotten to turn off my compability setting (Win XP, SP3) for dom3.exe. I also updated my directx and my graphics drivers, so any of those three made the difference, the game works brilliantly now. And it's marvelous, best thing since Master of Magic!

I PMd Kestrel with a link to the patched exe. Did it work?

Great, glad you got it working kestrel, that sounded like a nightmare!
