New Patch (v.3.06) For Dominions 3: The Awakening!

Manuk · #1 February 5th, 2007, 11:13 PM

there's a dom3 bug that's still alive. If you disable the battle background via "w" key units dissapear until they move again. Also the grid dissapear.
I like to use this option sometimes because makes me see more clear the battle at some backgrounds.

If anyone has problems with running the OSX patch on older macs then please try this one. And please pose your result as well.

Sorry Johan.

I could't try before today and now the server does not seem to be up and running.

I can confirm that the cave province icon is replaced by a "junk" icon upon upgrading to 306.

For some reason about 10 minutes into playing the game all the in-game interface disappears and I have to alt tab to quit the game. This happens with every computer i've installed this game on with the newest patch and doesnt happen at all with 3.04 or unpatched.

Windows? Mac? Linux?
And what version of those?
What graphics card do you have?
Do you have any screen timer set for 10 minutes that might be in conflict with Dominions? Such as, does your screen saver set to kick in at 10 minutes? Maybe Dom3 isnt letting itself be "seen" properly with the new librarys.

All three computers are windows with such varying specs that it really cant be some unique hardware problem. And the screen saver is turned off for all computers. It's not really exactly twn minutes but I'd say it varies from 10 to even 60 minutes before everything disappears. I can still click things and open menus (using esc) but I cant see anything besides the map image.

I had similar problems with 3.06 on Linux, I think it depends on your map screen. All text vanishes, you only see background graphics. Maybe I still have a savegame where this happens, I'll have to search for it.

You can get weird effects on the battle screen, too. Have lots and lots of units with natural aura effects like a Heat aura, and cast some more aura effects like Divine Bless, Heat from Hell and so on. This should mess up the graphics and either let one of your auras begin to cycle through all kinds of symbols before the game crashes with an error message, or displace all your units with big, honking, white A's which are rotated by 90� counter-clockwise.

I got display errors in one Dom3 window when I launched the game a second time, too, the screen went messy with lots of colors and only restarting the program helped.

I'm having this same problem. Every 2-5 turns the GUI just disappears. I'm running a 1.7 gig pentium with windows XP. The problem only started with the new patch, and it's basically making the game unplayable for me. I have to ctr-alt-del and end process on the game to get it to quit.
