New Dominions 3: The Awakening Patch Now Available

[T3hDudeAbides]

After installing the new 3.10 "mega-patch" using a Linux installation I now get a segmentation fault when trying to run dom3_x86. No further information is given using the console, just segfault, then core dumped, and that's it. This isn't the first time I've had problems with a Linux patch, after applying the 3.08 Linux patch the game GUI would simply disappear at random intervals, but this time it is, like, really bad.

I have no idea if the problem would persist if I used a Windows installation instead, as I do not currently own a Windows system, but I do think this is Linux specific. Simply downloading the .zip again and overwriting the executable seems to be of no use at all, so I am at a loss.

Does anybody have any suggestions what I should do? There basically isn't anything I as a user can do against a segfault, so maybe it's in the settings, somewhere? I don't have a particularly exotic setup, a plain Debian box on a recent kernel with XFCE4 for the window manager and manually compiled NVidia drivers, nothing that should make a difference.
