Given I am in some other games, I think I prefer to remain unpatched until and unless the others start updating (the horror).

You can still send in turns as normal (with either the new or old version), and the LlamaServer will process the backlog when it has been patched.

Before you update your copy, make sure to backup your entire Dominions directory. You may find you will still nee d the old version available for a few days for other multiplayer games you're in.

Since all my other games are llamaserver games I vote to update before next turn. That way I don't need to run two different versions.

Iam sorry, but I am with Squirrel on this...

I am in a number of games and admin in 3 of them. We are getting into the mid to late stages and I am not going to take a chance on screwing up these games if we don't need the patch.

If it works regardless if you have it or not, then I guess we can all suit ourselves. But I for one am not updating until my games have reached a conclusion as it just wouldn't be fair to the 30 some people left in them.

YeeHAW

999 bloodslaves and we got the Arcane Nexus to boot!

Unless something has changed from what I remember it to be and the new patch is backward compatible with the previous patch saved games, we really cannot patch unless and until everyone in the game is able to follow suit (meaning a community wide patching in every game on all servers) unless we want to ditch players or force them to run two versions of the game.

If there a possibility there will be a follow-up patch to this one soon to correct any issues this patch may have introduced that the beta testers have not yet discovered, it may be wise to wait. Otherwise, I am personally fine with patching and getting it over with. Reminds me to have a look at the update log.

Septimius Severus · #**1446** March 9th, 2010, 03:41 PM

Grudge and those in games on Llamaserver, it would appear that Llamabeast is automatically upgrading to the new patch, affecting all games in progress. Therefore we will likely have no choice but to patch the current turn (meaning you'll need the patch) to use the next turn you receive. If someone knows something else or Llama is allowing admins to choose like Gandalf, let me know. I may institute a delay on the current turn to see what happens with Llamaserver, other games, and to give people time to patch.

Llama has always patched as soon as one becomes available. Since it seems the llamaserver has already patched, it is likely that everyone will have to patch shortly.

In general I would recommend updating.

As far as shaking up the game, its going to become the unusual egg anyway. The servers copy will be updated and all other Dom3 games on the server will be updated. The NaV scripts, if it doesnt update, will be rewritten to use a personal copy for the game alone. It SHOULDNT be a problem but it does mean it gets a "shaking up" possibility.

And, from my experience, somebody (especially in a newbie game) will update. Thats difficult to back up from so everyone else gets forced to update.

Just my 2 cents.

DrPraetorious · #**1449** March 10th, 2010, 11:15 AM

Yes, we should update the game.

Septimius Severus · #**1450** March 10th, 2010, 11:59 AM

Gandalf has patched the server copy of our game. I had a question about whether the situation regarding different .2h's was the same on Gandalf's server as it was on Llamaserver, but apparently Gandalf believes it won't make a difference whether you patch and then upload the current .2h or upload then patch. Fine either way as Llama seems to have indicated.

So he recommends the following with regards to our game:

"Id say for people to patch and do their turns. And if they already did one then open it, resave, and resend."

I am adding another 24 hours to the clock to give people time to acquire and apply the patch and submit their turns. Remember, you'll need the patch to open the next turn you get whether you patch now or not.

You can get the patch here:

Good luck and happy patching!
