Um - as far as I can tell, the patch didn't fix a damn issue, bugwise or gameplay wise. I'd prefer playing unpatched, and suggest that those players who patched without saving a copy of the original, should uninstall and re-install.

Edit : _and_ it would be nice to know whether we're playing patched / unpatched before we submit our pretenders. Suggest pushing back to Tuesday since it's up in the air now.

I like how Solo handles the patch-issue in the other MP-game I am currently playing.

He keeps a copy of the previous turn-files and if a Horror attacks the turn will be rehosted. But with this number of players it might be quite a hassle...

Personally I would prefer the patched version, but would have no problems with installing a pre-patched version (should be no problem to have both a patched and an unpatched version on one harddisk or am I wrong ?).

Default Patch?

I will delay starting until Tuesday.

So far most players want to start WITH the patch. So, unless more players express concerns, we'll use the patch.

In any case, I will make sure players have enough time to submit replacement pretenders, etc.

To prevent people crying and stop playing because their pretender dies in a horror attack in turn 2 i would prefer a start without the patch.

But here we've the problem that i'm not sure that all players could install a second 3.0 Version of the game.

An illwinter coment about a hotfix would be very good!

Will try to install a 2nd Dom version with 3.00 later today. If this is no problem I would tend to favour the non-patched version now since it would indeed be bad to lose people due to this bug.

And yes, a comment concerning a hotfix would be good.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I can bother to reinstall Domnison 3 version 3.00 since I am running two PBEM games with the patch version, so I'm dropping out. Sorry.

There wasn't a decision that we play with 3.0

Well, it sure seems like the concensus is that, besides, I should be doing some school work anyway instead of playing Dom 3 and DotA all the time. ^^;;
