The server has been upgraded to 2.08. Please upgrade before you play your turn to try to avoid any weirdness.

Report any weirdness on this thread for Version changes. I have no idea what may or may not happen. Hopefully nothing.

Zen, I think that wasnt a good idea because of the huge Jotunheim/Utgard bug in 2.08...as far as I know,Alexti plays Utgard

Yes I just noticed. I was on the Boards, I just came home for lunch long enough to look at a few emails saying it was changed. I will have to bring down the server and reinstall Dom2 and patch to 2.06.

It's hard to imagine that every time they patch they totally fubar at least one nation. Hopefully we can petition them for a quickfix and not have to rely on mods.

Server will be down until I can reinstall Dom2

you can overlook my email then

Thanks Zen, modifying the strategy to work around the new bug would be rather hard at this stage.

If I had known that it completely unhinged one nation I wouldn't have patched it. A mistake on my part to trust the double and triple checking of the patch (I still love you IW and Shrapnel).

The server is up.

I am utilizing the 2.08 Patch as my base dom2.exe while I have a dom206.exe that I use for the pre-2.08 Version.

If there is any weirdness/crazy stuff, please send me an Email or something, along with your turnfile so that maybe we can submit it to IW for any bugs that may be found.

Even though Kris suggested it still works perfectly fine, I don't want anyone to lose out on any part of the game because of technical reasons.

I will set the Host to Quickhost until Wednesday at 12:00 Noon which will then be a forced turn (For the delay in the server being down, I had to work late tonight and wasn't able to go home to reinstall).

I apologize again for my eagerness with the patch.

Someone has sent in a turn or played with 2.08 instead of 2.06. Thus the game has been corrupted to 2.08. I can't change it back to 2.06. So I vote in the meantime we wait for the patch before we resume as Jotunheim will have their nation and playstyle signficantly impacted by the change. If the patch isn't quickly forthcoming and there is no way to work around, then the game is essentially dead, or at least Jotunheim is crippled through no fault of his own, which I consider unfair to the extreme.

If you wish I will set up a poll to see what the players would like to do.

I don't think that stopping the game because of one crippled nation is a good option, so if the fix won't arrive within next day or two, the game should proceeed. I will try to do something without Seithkonur. Maybe I can convert to the blood path. Also, I wonder what will happen to the items equipped before the patch. Losing a dozen of Skull Mentors would magnify impact from the loss of Seithkonur

In another game I'm currently playing the host (still with 2.06) deleted all of the .2h files and asked the players to 1) delete their .2h files if made with Version 2.08 and 2) to resubmit their turn files (all made with 2.06). Wouldn't this work or is your fthrland file corrupted already?

I don't know, I'm trying to pin Johan down on if that is the case. I'm also asking him if the computer generated turns would be the cause. But I don't see as they would. If we can I will make a backup and we can try to funk around with it. I apologize for the problems everyone. :/
