I try to patch Dominions on Mac, but no luck!

The strange thing is that Argitoth's second post show the output of the patching script, and it shows no errors. If you look at the script in a text editor, it is nothing more than a bunch of file copies. Presumably the reason you move the application to the desktop is to make the file paths predictable.

Since the entire application is replaced, one would expect you could start from whatever version you like. On the other hand, it is plausible that some associated resources (maps, sounds, unit data) might not be in the last patch. But the fact that he's seeing v3.00 in the game is a bigger issue.

Argitoth: with the Dominions application still on the Desktop (the actual application, not the folder), why don't you try opening the Terminal (from your Utilities folder) and typing this:

~/Desktop/Dominions3.app/Contents/MacOS/Dominions3 -v

This will give you another version number, to verify that it wasn't updated.

You haven't renamed the actual application, have you? That might screw up the patching.

[Argitoth]

I haven't renamed anything. I know the patch didn't work because I don't have the bogarus nation.

Yes, I hate mac. I love my PC too much to have it on 24/7.

[Argitoth]

Oh, I got it to work. I have to move the .app back into the dominions3 folder.

[edited] OK, glad it was something simple.

Well, I have a new problem. I cannot connect to the server on the mac nor can I connect the mac to its own server.

However, I am able to connect to the mac server with LAN IP, but not WAN IP. The ports are forwarded. However, if I try to forward the ports (going to 192.168.1.1 in the web browser) and check those checkboxes (to enable the ports) I save settings and the checkmarks are never there. However, the checkmarks remain if I go there on the PC.

Is it because MAC just doesn't show checkmarks? Nevertheless, the port forwarding doesn't seem to work on the mac.

If I go to whatismyip.com it shows 70.176.220.23 for both the mac and the pc. Is that normal? Mac is using the same port of 4334. Its LAN IP is different, .103 instead .100. I already enabled port 4334 for .103.

I haven't played or hosted network games on my Mac, sorry.

You might want to start a new thread, or change the title on this one, so people can see the new problem.

[Argitoth]

This problem is beyond what anyone could help me with on the forum. It's a network issue.

That's normal. The router/firewall connects WAN to LAN if you set up port forwarding, but it does not forward traffic originating from LAN to LAN. This is a design issue of port forwarding or limitation of those cheap hardware routers.

You can only check that from an external source from the WAN. Not from your LAN.

That's normal, too. The web server reports which IP on the internet (WAN) connected to it. It should never get any info about internal IPs from LANs.

THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!

YOU CANNOT OPEN THE SAME PORT FOR MULTIPLE LAN IPs
