New Dominions 3: The Awakening Patch Now Available

[Fate]

*update*-has anyone tried the new hydras yet? They definitely have made my coolest units list (and great graphics now, too).

I think I'm patching incorrectly because my game is messed up. How would one patch under linux?

[Dedas]

1. Extract and overwrite everything from the patch to the dom3 game directory (the one with the executable).
2. Make the binary executable with chmod +x dom3.
3. Play the game.
4. Eat and drink something or you will surely die.
5. Repeat 3.

Thats what I did, but the game was still messing up. I reinstall dominions and tried it again and the game was still really buggy. It has problems connecting to multi player, problems generating turns, and it just crashes for no reason.

The patch just made the game 5 times buggier, and now I have to downgrade it and be left out of multi player games until they fix the bugs in the patch.

Is it possible that you somehow accidentally entered a cd-key other than the one from your manual? That could cause a lot of problems once you patched.

[poopalt]

No, because I reinstalled it 2 times, and if I mistyped a cd key it wouldn't let me play.

What kind of error message does it give you?

I'm not sure this the right place to post about it yet I don't want this to escape notice. There seems to be some serious issues with playing modded nations. They were encountered in modded nations MP game, see here
