You did enter the CD-key from your ring-binder manual correctly?
I did apparently, since the very same key worked quite well before. Because the key file doesn't really contain anything other than the key I simply copied it back into the game folder; I didn't think about trying to manually re-enter my serial. But, after deleting the old key file and doing just that, the segfault problem is gone. I have no idea why, given that the key file looks exactly the same now as it did before this really shouldn't even have helped at all, but it did, so thanks anyway. You might want to put that into the readme, maybe.

Now here's to hope the GUI problems are gone as well, made it pretty impossible for me to use multiplayer in 3.08.

Edit: No, they're not :-(

T3hDudeAbides, your problems are typical of those experienced by users with banned CD keys - as in, those obtained with pirated versions of the game.

Iīm having a strange bug after 3.10: i star new games normally, and thy work normal, but every time i try to use a mod (any mod) the game canīt process the turn...

The turn processing shows a loooooon time (five times normal turn processing times) "AI Thinking" and them crash to the desktop withou any kind of message...

If i donīt use mods the turn processes normally, and if i use mods in a installation without the patch it also processes normally....

What is happening?

Thanks

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game from scratch. If that does not work, contact Shrapnel tech support. Do you have a manual?

I tried reinstalling from scratch and it didnīt work... then i noticed that even after unistalling the game the dominions directory was not being deleted in the uninstall process... deleted it manually and reinstalled from scratch and it works now...

Must have been some kind of corrupted file left behind after unistall...

Ummm....the patch release notes say that 1920 X 1200 resolution is supported, but it's not letting me choose that option. The max it allows me is 1620 * 1200...anybody have ideas why this might be the case? Anybody successfully playing with 1900 * 1200 res?

I've got a dual core vision 1.8 GHz, with 2 gigs RAM and an nVidia GE Force 7600 GT adapter...

Help?

thanks,

AMF

Does the graphics card support 1920x1200? Does your monitor? If the monitor doesn't, then you won't be able to use it.

Yes. Sorry I should have mentioned that.

Still no joy on my end...

I don't know what the problem is. Hardware incompatibilities and glitches are a pain in the arse to sort out. I suppose you could email Illwinter about it, it's info at illwinter.com.

Bummer.

Ok, I'll email them.

thanks!

AMF

EDIT/UPDATE: I emailed Illwinter, and they got back to me *real* quick. They stated:

There was a bug in selecting that new resolution in dom3. As a work around before we fix it in the next patch, use the following switch when starting dom3:
--res 1920 1200

I did, and it works fine now.

woo hoo! yay Illwinter!
