Uh, I'm actually NOT one of the devs. I do consider them friends of mine, though.

I'm in the beta test group and the author of the Dom3DB as well as being officially responsible for maintaining the bug shortlist and keeping that in order. I post a lot on these forums to answer questions and help people, since I have a fairly extensive knowledge of various aspects of Dominions 3.

huh. Could've fooled me, really(obviously, you did)

So! <_<...any ideas on what's causing my problem? It's only 3.10. The other patches, game runs fine.

If that did not work, I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. If you upload the savegame as an attachment, somebody else could see if the problem occurs also on their system. If it does, we can send the file to Illwinter so Johan can take a closer look at it to uncover the problem.

Alright, the attachment should be in this(this one right here) post...

Maybe this could be of some help:

Dominions 3.08(win32) reports upon opening the savegame:

myversion 3.08
fileversion 3.09
nation-1

Are you by chance running Dom3 on a Mac - there seems to be an issue with the patch on some Macs which results in v3.09 shown on the intro screen, and maybe unknown more errors due to missing/corrupted data files ...

Hi, are you sure that you got the game from Shrapnel or one of their official resellers. If you have been handed an unofficial copy by some devious pirate you might experience that the game hangs or craches. I'm not sure how this plays out, but I seem to recollect that the 'convarmy-whatever' is such a crash.

If you have bougth the game from Shrapnel your CD-key should be present on the inside of the cover of the manaul. Try to reinstall the game and use the CD-key from your manual. If this doesn't work, please contact Shrapnel or us.

If you actually have an unlawful copy of the game I hope that you will find it good enough to be worth a buy

Actually, I found it on Ebay. Did I do something illegal, or..?

Edi · #17 October 10th, 2007, 01:22 PM

No. Buying things off eBay is not illegal at all. But if the game came without a manual, it was probably a pirate copy to begin with. In such a case, the CD-key was probably known and blacklisted, so it would cause the crashes. If the game had a manual with it, it should be legit. Do you have one?

Edratman · #18 October 10th, 2007, 01:22 PM

Dr. Strangelove, if nothing else you got your wish of a dev response. Kristoffer O (KO) is one of the 3 chaps (that's right, there are only 3 of them) who have made the game. That's kind of like getting Sid Meir(sp?) to answer your post.

Kristoffer O · #19 October 10th, 2007, 01:29 PM

Actually we're only 2. And I'm not nearly as powerful as Sid. Sid is surrounded by a halo of inner light, while I'm just surrounded by a constant noice (high school students). That makes me more communicative

DrStrangelove · #20 October 10th, 2007, 01:53 PM

Oo.

Hm, I think I got a manual...did any other manual, short of that massive 300 page-thing I've read about(yet do not have), be released with the game?

<_<..thanks for all of your help, really. I've been playing the game in 3.08, and other than the fact I suck and don't know how to research, it's alot of fun.
