patch failing to apply?

[kestrel_80]

The only way to solve this might be that someone would upload the patched dom3.exe to an online file storing site, like RapidShare. After all, the only file the patch fails to update is the dom3.exe file. I'd then download the file and manually replace the file in the installation folder. But then again, would copyright be an issue in that solution?

aaminoff uploaded the file for me, so I don't need any more help with my problem, thank you. The game started up fine, hope I don't encounter the end turn hang problem anymore.

Nope, the next turn generation still hangs. It got to a point where it said 'Resolving Battle (turn 1)', or something along those lines, but nothing after that. It probably enters an infinite loop. I have to forcibly close the application through the task manager processes. How long does it take to generate the next turn, usually?

Actually, I had forgotten to turn off my compability setting (Win XP, SP3) for dom3.exe. I also updated my directx and my graphics drivers, so any of those three made the difference, the game works brilliantly now. And it's marvelous, best thing since Master of Magic!

I PMd Kestrel with a link to the patched exe. Did it work?
