Mac patch (3.23) error

[Ewierl]

The mac version of the 3.23 patch on the Shrapnel Games page appears to be 3.22, instead of 3.23.

I'm just going by the number in the lower-left corner of the main screen, since I'm not sure how one would test it (other than sitting around a million turns waiting for the AI to try seducing?). However, I seem to recall this same thing happening with at least one previous patch, so I suspect it's the same issue again.

I have the same problem. Tsk tsk!

I have sent a note to customer support.

Refresh your browser. We just downloaded from the Dominions page and the correct patch is there.

Hi Tim:

I refreshed the browser and redownloaded. It is still version 3.22. It says so on the opening screen. Also, per lch's suggestion, I used some sort of tester thingie by uploading a pretender god with the new version, and it verified that I had version 3.22. In addition, the game crashes when I try to open a game I am running where at least one player sent me a patched turn.

Too tired to mess with this. Please fix the mac patch.

I use the Mac patch for backup.

Okay, but you are downloading file 3.23. So we are presenting you the correct file. The error seems to be from the Devs end then, so I will get with Illwinter and see what is what.

Thanks guys.

yeah, they sent you the old patch w/ the new filename. should be easy enough for them to rectify :)

Not the first time this has happened. I've posted about this on the beta forum as well.

To further add to the confusion: The new Jomon summons and commanders are there, but my game displays as 3.21 and cannot open new turns from llamaserver. It crashes instantly when I try (as opposed to the usual error message for wrong version)

Fantomen, it should display 3.22, not 3.21, if you patched your Mac. Also, the crash likely stems from a problem with CBM. It exceeds the maximum number of 499 ingame items.

[Fantomen]

Right you are, it says 3.22. I confused it with the unpatched backup I made.

But the problems remain though, and 3.22 is still not 3.23

Yep the games are CBM. Did they add new items in the patch or what?

Anyway the new turns crashes the unpatched (3.21) app as well.

And you're positive that the crash on 3.21 isn't because of a version conflict? It would surprise me a little, but then the problem might be that the size of the memory footprint for the item structs has been altered in 3.23. If the item data would somehow be saved in the turn files, instead of just an ID number or name, this could trigger the error. It would open up a plethora of cheating possibilities with items, too.

There's a reason the 3.22 wasn't released and we waited for 3.23.

[Fantomen]

And you're positive that the crash on 3.21 isn't because of a version conflict? ...

Not at all. I´d rather guess both crashes are version conflicts.

[Tim Brooks]

Okay. New patches v3.23b are up. Thanks to Johan for acting so quickly. Let us know if you have problems.
