Is Mac patch 3.09 rather than 3.10?

Professor_Chaos · #1 October 9th, 2007, 10:20 PM

Wondering if the patch up on the Shrapnel site is actually 3.10 or not. Seems like it may be 3.09:

- Version in start screen is listed as 3.09
- No 1900 x 1200 resolution available
- At least some 3.10 content listed in log not present: Formoria can't select monolith; Unmarked/giants cost 55/120 instead of 60/110

It looks to be that way. It's probably an artifact of the IW hardware crash, we only had a Mac 3.09 patch to playtest with, then 3.10 and it seems that the Mac patch got mixed up.

I'll take it up with IW if they aren't on it already. There's going to be a fairly major update to the shortlist in the next two days.

Yes, I'm playing on my Mac now, since my PC decided to burn up and die a horrible death. I'd certainly appreciate a current Mac patch, since I am involved in several MP games.

I have a Mac, too. I notice the same problems.

Also, the game shuts down if I try to play either of two MP games I am hosting that have mods (Conceptual Balance mod and Worthy Heroes mod). The games are BARK and HYDRANT.

Thanks.

Do you get the "N�got gick fel! Bad armor for monster" crash? See the mod forum thread, probable culprit is that "Light Weight Scale Mail" became "Lightweight Scale Mail" in this patch and armor can't be assigned by number (which is going to get listed as a bug in the shortlist, because that lack is breaking things left and right and making things miserable for modders).

EDIT: Post #1976, which is the year I was born.

Are mac 3.09 clients having a problem connecting to 3.10 servers?

The Mac patch also makes my whole system re-boot occasionally, without warning. Rather disconcerting in the middle of a turn.

Something went a bit wrong with the mac patch and I'll look into it. But it shouldn't be any problems to mix 3.09 and 3.10 in multiplayer games.

Please don't spend too much time on my strange re-booting problem. I think it is only my old G4 that has that problem. I remember now that is why I switched to playing on my PC... Dom3 has always done that on my Mac.

I don't get any error message. The program simply closes. It does not do this with every game, just the 2 I mentioned. There are other games that I can continue to play.
