Thanks, coobe. Does Linux patch work for anyone?

I just installed it on gentoo and it runs just fine.
Try to remove the key file, sometimes it gets corrupted although it looks good.

I'm having problems with the new 3.17 patch.

I can create a new game no problem, but as soon as the map screen appears, the program closes to desktop. Tried it several times with different eras and maps, but with the same result each time. Also have the same problem if I try to load up any current games.

Tried re-installing from the CD, and everything works fine until I apply the 3.17 patch, when I get the above problem again.

Have patched on this system succesfully from 3.04 upto and including 3.15, never once having a problem.

Current Specs

ADM Athlon 2500
512Mb Ram
ATi Radeon 9600 64Mb
Windows XP SP3

Any suggestions would be appreciated. My only guess is that upgrading the Windows XP Service Pack from 2 to 3, which I did a few weeks back, has buggered something up somwehere along the lines.

Isn't SP3 still beta? I know it causes huge problems in many many games. [but if it's official automatic update I probably have it too].

[Calahan]

I downloaded Windows XP SP3 via their auto update thing, so I assume it's the finished deal.

Really hope it's not an XP SP3 issue, as uninstalling / rolling back that will be an absolute nightmare :-(

I could just continue playing Dom 3.15, but I don't know if that would lock me out of all my MP games :-( :-( :-(

Running fine for me on Ubuntu 8.04.
