Patch 2.14 - Page 2

So it's either a problem with going from 2.12 or a problem with me. I'm dragging the "dominions2.app" into the updater, it registers that it's been dragged, but claims it's the wrong file and hence didn't update.

OK, it was the infamous "need-to-update-from-a-clean-install-but-only-after-updating-permissions" problem. Happily upgraded to 2.14 now.

I've come across a problem with the 2.14 client being used with games hosted by 2.12 or 2.13 servers. It can cause items to be lost, and it can also be used as an exploit, so much as I prefer staying with the same Version throughout a game (unless major gameplay "quirks" get fixed), I'd recommend migrating games to 2.14 soon.

Ygorl: what do you get on OS X?

I get this from the patch tool:

"Patch Not Applied.
You have not selected the right file"

I currently have 2.12, and apparently I'm never going to upgrade. :-(

The mac patch can only be applied to Version 2.13 or the original on CD Version. So reinstall from CD, apply patch and it should work.

Johan K:

Thank you very much for the helpful response.

Unfortunately I can't find my CD, as all of our stuff is in cardboard boxes in my mother-in-law's garage until Nov 1. Even after Nov 1 when we move into our new house, I might never find the CD.

Oh! I know -- I can ask one of my brothers to give me their CD. In fact, I'll ask them to rip it and send a copy to me so they don't have to pay international shipping fees.

Thanks!
