Worked fine for me, too. But I just got a very different result from what actually occurred with regard to a major battle when I viewed the battle. Not that I mind. I like the result in the Messages better.

So are there going to be some kind of problems with the patch? I hope not since I already installed it.

[SurvivalistMerc]

Gandalf, I think we should all let you tell us when to patch so as not to crash the server. That may be what sent the server down yesterday. I don't know.

Alexti, did your battle replay give the same results as the text?

[Gandalf Parker]

OK the server is patched.
Then I patched my windows Version.
Just to be sure that my turn file matched the server I picked it up again and hit "continue where I left off" then hit "E"

Not sure if I needed to actually make a change or if it sent it anyway.

Boggle, this is quite of a chaotic upgrade guys.

Now you have 2 .2h files issued in v2.06 (Pangea & Machaka?), while all the rest save maybe Man & Arco (pending) were issued as the previous Version.

You should rather have waited to upgrade after a turn generation & inform the players, much cleaner.

Whatever. I have upgraded to v2.06 in one of my computers while leaving the other in the old Version, and resent my turn file as v2.06. I suggest everybody that already played t17 does the same, and Gandalf should probably make a backup before hosting.

OK. I guess that should go in the admining FAQ.
I did remember to shut the server down while I upgraded then bring it back up. But some people had already upgraded... To catch it on a hosting I would need to script something to shut down the server right after hosting. Often the Last person making a turn stays connected and is first to make the next turn.

I made a copy of the game dir just now but the server is still running on quick-turn so Im not really going to be able to catch the files right before hosting. Pros and Cons of PBEM I guess. If it were a email game instead of tcp/ip hosting this woul dhave been simpler.

Nope, replay was showing pretty much opposite, but I'm used to it now. My replays are rarely related to the battle summaries. I have no clue which one are correct anymore.

[SurvivalistMerc]

That was a major battle, and I took quite a gamble on it. But with all those giants I felt rather certain you would have won, my gauntlet notwithstanding.

I was hoping you could tell me how my intrepid force of lizards managed to eek out a victory there. Alas, only Gandalf's computer knows how my (almost assuredly temporary but sweet) result was obtained.

can someone put the url for the patch here? I tried google "dominions 2 patch" 2.06 and got no obvious patch download hits.
