Patch 2.14

Kristoffer O · #1 September 15th, 2004, 04:02 PM

There is now a patch 2.14 available.

It fixes the item-ritual-crash.

It fixes a network bug.

And: ......

It is available for SOLARIS.

It has been a while since we were able to update the Solaris Version. It feels good to have an update even though there are few Solaris Users out there. We know of one Solaris based server.

Anyway, have fun.

Goodbye 2.13, we hardly knew you...

Thanks for the patch!

Yeah I didnt even finish upgrading all my copies to 2.13 but thats OK. A quicky fix patch is a welcome thing. I wonder if any of the computer game magazines or conventions give awards for post-sale support in a game. If they did then Illwinter would definetly deserve recognition.

This may be a little silly question, but, if for example I want to format my hard disk, when I reinstall Dom2 can I patch it directly to 2.14 or do I have to apply all the patches?
I am asking because I noticed that the 2.12 is bigger than 2.14, at least the Windows Version.
Thanks.

I *think* you can go directly with the 2.14 Version. I guess the difference in size comes from the documentation files, as 2.12 brought the modding and mapediting PDF files which are not present in the 2.14 Version. So unless you need these files, you should be fine with going directly with the 2.14 Version (keyword being "should" here).

Exactly . The only other two worthy companies i would consider too are Blizzard ( who wonders

) and Paradox Entertainment .
While Paradox Entertainment is an indy software developer too their games though NEED at least the first 5 patches severely

while dominions was almost bugfree in the release Version already i think .

You are my favourite game developer company now even close before paradox entertainment

. There Johan , the main developer shows awesome presence on the board too and cares about his games too .

But you do an even better job , perhaps especially because it is not your main job but your "hobby" . So your motivation is even higher

.

I think dominions is at the moment the most rewarding longtime Grand strategy game . Probably it will be until dominions 3

.

Yes, thanks for the new patch! Good work!

I almost feel like setting up a SOLARIS machine...

Regarding a patch support award:

Malfador and HPS Simulations also come immediately to my mind on that score. Oh Battlefront is good too with their Combat Mission series. There are probably others, but it is the wonderful exception when there is such good support.
