Patcher Update

So the patcher's server was changed recently and the current patcher can't connect to it to update itself with the new address which means that everyone will have to download the new patcher manually and then put it in your AoE3 directory.

If you run the current patcher you will probably get this: Error grabbing master server list.
The error might not show up for everyone as I have been told but in case it does here's the fix...

DOWNLOAD NEWER VERSION FROM HERE!

The deal is the same, run it as administrator!
It will be included in the version 5.5 installer so after that everything will be automated.

We will probably do more changes to the patcher and its server so I'll update this post with news as they happen.

Thanks for playing!

    2. Guys, guys...

      David... LoL dude, where did you put the patcher? Of course it needs to be inside the game's folder.

      Nsinger, what error? I see no other message from you here?

      Remember that you need to run the patcher as administrator people!

    6. Oh, well then I hope it works out. Remember to check if your antivirus is blocking the patcher.

  7. after some stuff I think I've determined my problem:

    Connecting to my router via an extender(for better coverage) is something that the patcher or its server doesn't like. perhaps the guy who made the patcher can take a look at it?

    1. I will let him know, though, I strongly suggest you contact me on Skype or Steam and let me have a look with Team Viewer, so I can tell him if your connection is really the problem.

  8. If you click on a house it shows the livestock tech right? Well, if you click on that same tech it says it adds your iventory (if i remember the number right)99999 food. What the heck?! What does that tech really do?

    1. Its... complicated... The tech is suppose to enable houses to train and herd livestock. The way it accomplishes this is a bit weird, but hey, its works right?

      Delete
    2. Yup, I tried it and it actually works. It's funny how the next available tech "Selective Breeding" says the same.
      By the way, your updates are awesome. Keep up the excellent work!

    1. Mods are not meant to be played on ESO...
      ESO requires the original game, it does not support mods.

      Delete
    2. I actually got it to work on eso.
      I had to go to my documents, my games and delete the age of empires 3 folder.

      Delete
    3. My friends and I just make a game on ESO and we can play together this way. Still says CRC Mismatch for normal games but it works for us.

      Still obviously not ideal if you want to play with random people without mods but we don't need any 3rd party software to play together using this mod.

      Delete
    4. Alright cool, I know my mod is playable on ESO but since its not recommended, when people come with problems related to ESO, well I can offer no support really.

    1. Download the latest version and run as administrator.
      If it still doesn't work re-install your Windows.........

    2. All jokes aside it seems there's a genuine problem with the server at the time I received this message. We will look into it.
