Help?

3.08 followed by 3.10 should be enough. My Dom3 is patched to 3.04, 3.06, 3.08 and 3.10.

One of the things that I must ask: Are the games you're running using mods? Specifically, mods that affect armor?

Because any mod that assigns Lightweight Scale Mail to any units will have been broken by this patch since there was a spelling error in the armor name (it was previously Light Weight Scale Mail, but is now Lightweight Scale Mail). I need to make a post in the Maps & Mods forum about that...

No, I've learned the hard way to make certain a game works prior to applying a patch.

I shall try this method. <_<..you know, I was a bit peeved when I didn't get a very quick response, however, the fact one of the game devs responded...wow.

Game looks great, and this is coming from someone who doesn't particularly like turned-based strategy.

[DrStrangelove]

Righto. 3.08 patch worked fine. 3.10...

Same problem. I don't understand. Is there anything else that could be tried?

Uh, I'm actually NOT one of the devs. I do consider them friends of mine, though.

I'm in the beta test group and the author of the Dom3DB as well as being officially responsible for maintaining the bug shortlist and keeping that in order. I post a lot on these forums to answer questions and help people, since I have a fairly extensive knowledge of various aspects of Dominions 3.

huh. Could've fooled me, really(obviously, you did)

So! <_<...any ideas on what's causing my problem? It's only 3.10. The other patches, game runs fine.

If that did not work, I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. If you upload the savegame as an attachment, somebody else could see if the problem occurs also on their system. If it does, we can send the file to Illwinter so Johan can take a closer look at it to uncover the problem.

Alright, the attachment should be in this(this one right here) post...

Maybe this could be of some help:

Dominions 3.08(win32) reports upon opening the savegame:

myversion 3.08
fileversion 3.09
nation-1

Are you by chance running Dom3 on a Mac - there seems to be an issue with the patch on some Macs which results in v3.09 shown on the intro screen, and maybe unknown more errors due to missing/corrupted data files ...

Hi, are you sure that you got the game from Shrapnel or one of their official resellers. If you have been handed an unofficial copy by some devious pirate you might experience that the game hangs or craches. I'm not sure how this plays out, but I seem to recollect that the 'convarmy-whatever' is such a crash.

If you have bougth the game from Shrapnel your CD-key should be present on the inside of the cover of the manaul. Try to reinstall the game and use the CD-key from your manual. If this doesn't work, please contact Shrapnel or us.

If you actually have an unlawful copy of the game I hope that you will find it good enough to be worth a buy .

Actually, I found it on Ebay. Did I do something illegal, or..?

Dr. Strangelove, if nothing else you got your wish of a dev response. Kristoffer O (KO) is one of the 3 chaps (that's right, there are only 3 of them) who have made the game. That's kind of like getting Sid Meir(sp?) to answer your post.
