Re: New Patch For Dominions 3: The Awakening!
I know that a player who upgrades will bomb a game if the host doesnt upgrade. Im not sure about other situations (host upgrades but not player, host and some players) but I suspect that answer is all-or-none.
Im also not sure if the exe can be copied off to oldDom3.exe and still used to host a game. There are othr files (such as the army library) that are updated in the patch.

Re: Thanks for all the fish!
Did the new patch change any versions of libraries it requires under Linux? I just patched, and the game won't launch anymore... (I, very stupidly, overwrote the previous files before testing anything; I could unzip the previous patch 3.04 again, but I'm not sure it won't break anything...)

Re: Thanks for all the fish!
I'm not sure I understand what happened correctly, but if I do, I'm extremely unhappy: apparently patch 3.06 requires libc 2.4, as can be seen from this error message when I try to launch it:
dom3: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by dom3)
I tried to look for it in the standard places for my Linux distribution (Ubuntu 6.06), and didn't find it - what seems to be the standard is libc 2.3.6, which is what I have.
Currently my dom3 won't run, and this is because Illwinter decided to use a brand new version of libc? What was so urgent with it?

Re: Thanks for all the fish!
Update: I checked that patch 3.06 didn't patch any files that 3.04 didn't, and went back to 3.04. Now I can apparently play, but I won't be able to play correctly in my MP games if they go to 3.06, right?

Re: Thanks for all the fish!
Upgrade to Edgy, it has glibc2.4.
Should be a pretty painless upgrade, from what I know of Ubuntu. It's been released for 3-4 months, so it should be stable.

Re: Thanks for all the fish!
I'm not sure I like the idea of upgrading my distribution just because of this. I specifically selected 6.06 because it was the "long term support" version; I'm pretty sure there isn't much in the newest things that I need.
If I really have to upgrade my Linux distribution just because of Dom3, then I'll really be upset. I just checked the requirements on the original version, and it says libc >= 2.1.92. Whatever really required the change, I'm pretty curious.
