Heeeeelp! Getmany Failed? Multi-server fatal crashing!

Here's a backup script I use for network servers I run under Vista. Save this as backup.bat and put it in your dominions install directory, in the same folder as dom3.exe. If your games save in a different directory than default in Vista, you'll have to change the path in the script.

Code:

set game=%1
set gamebackup=%game%Backup

xcopy /c /y /i "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\dominions3\savedgames\%game%" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\dominions3\savedgames\%game%\%gamebackup%"

Add this to your hosting shortcut:
--preexec "backup.bat GAMENAME"

*BUMP*

Dom3 v3.23b

Getting the same "Getmany Failed" error after applying upgrade patch from v3.21.

Previous 3.21 executable still works fine with 3.23b modified files.

I may be wrong, but I believe the problem occurs during loading of the main menu graphics.. between expl_white.tga and horror_32x32.bmp, or immediately after horror_32x32.bmp.

With 220+ views on this thread allready, you'd think more people would have posted receiving the same error message.
