New Dominions 3: The Awakening Patch Now Available

Yes. The server must patch first.

If you have an older version I believe the server will inform you and tell you to upgrade.

It's easy to make a copy of the current version before upgrading and switch between the two as needed.

How would that work? Just make a copy the dominions3 folder anywhere, patch the original, and then just use the copy to play online until the servers get patched?

Pretty much. I've only done it on linux, so I don't know if there are any gotchas on Windows, but I don't remember hearing of any.

Since there are no newly patched files, you can just install the 3.08 patch before playing on 3.08 servers and otherwise install the 3.10 patch if you want to play the 3.10 version, too. That means that you can downgrade from 3.10 to 3.08, yes.

Thank you very much IW. It is indeed a measure of your love to the game that you keep supporting it like this. We are grateful for that.

Such dedicated support is, in my experience, extremely rare in the gaming industry.

As a mac user, I really appreciate it. Getting halfway through an LA Ermor turn and crashing was... infuriating.
