• Ending Support for AOS6
    As highlighted in our 12.10 Update notes, we will be ending support for AOS6 with the release of the 12.11 Update due to technical requirements. Those on AOS6 will need to upgrade to a device that supports AOS7 or above to continue playing DomiNations.

the web version is great for multiaccounts - saves so much time. Best performance is on Chrome (even better Arc Browser). Safari did not work. I have it running on a Macbook Pro with Intel CPU. It might help to test different browsers

È necessario aprire il sito Web su PC? Perché nel mio non si apre, quindi vorrei sapere se ci sono requisiti di qualche tipo o se sono già fregato e bloccato con il telefono lol.
Si un sito app.

It works perfectly on one of my PCs that has lots of memory. It works most of the time on the other PC (less memory).

On the second PC, I usually get it running but the game will crash out saying that a certain graphics app/driver (I forget the name) is not supported. Exit firefox in the way that closes all windows, restart, everything runs again. I think but am not sure that the system is more reliable on chrome. I have had to reboot my machine to get it to run the game within firefox.

Surprisingly, I am able to run multiple instances in different browser windows. Thus, I can switch between Sandy, Baggy, Sprite and Doc without having to exit. Donating troops from account to account is way more convenient.

Video ads are less obnoxious (the ad server is not yet working so I get a delay rather than ads). In addition, in-game purchases are cheaper than when I buy in the game on my ipad.

The screen is larger. I can select buildings or resources (e.g. shipments) more precisely/easily. This saves a little time.

On the other side, actual battles suck. Placing troops is a little more cumbersome compared to the optimized multifinger methods or the press and drag methods available on the tablet.

So for shopping and administrative tasks, the PC version is awesome. For actual play, I go back to my ipad.

Please tell me, “Dominations on PC” is not available to everyone? Just for information. So as not to look for the problem in yourself. The problem is described here, but is this an bug or just "access denied"?

"my PCs that has lots of memory"
how many gigabytes of memory? if it `s not a secret

The better machine has a 12th gen 17 intel processor, 32 gB of RAM, NVIDIA 3070 TI graphics processor with its own memory and windows 11

The older machine is out of reach at the moment. I think it has 16 gB of main memory, an 8th or 9th gen i7 processor, and an earlier NVIDIA coprocessor. It also runs windows 11.

Both machines have other stuff running in the background. When it is running on either machine, Dominations is not the only process that takes significant memory. As a result, the nominal capacity of the machines is greater than the capacity available to Dominations. There is "lots of memory" available on one machine and "not as much" on the other. I'm not going to walk through the additional details of the configurations.

I am not aware of new updates to this software, but as of a few days ago, I would now describe the Dominations software as more reliable on my systems under Firefox than under Chrome or Edge (all three browsers are fully updated, as is the O/S).

Also, I can no longer run multiple live instances of my accounts on the same browser but it is very convenient to exit one account and log in to the next. Much easier than logging in and out of apple accounts, for example. Troop placement feels a bit better, still not as efficient as on an ipad. I don't know if this reflects software improvement or increased familiarity/skill with the same software. I still would not recommend fighting battles on the PC.

Thanks for the information. Not that powerful comp, to be honest. A memory capacity of 32GB on a PC has long been the minimum acceptable for me. However, it is not equipped with powerful video cards, nor is it equipped with a powerful processor - on my comp processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz.
Yes, from the posts on forum I understand that Dominations on PC does not deserve attention yet. This one fact made me very discouraged.
I'm just wondering. I also only play only on Mobile.
In general, it’s a rather strange idea to implement the game on the web-page. It seems to me that it would be much more reasonable to implement it on a Java-machine - in the same way, absolute portability to any architecture computer, but much more productive game engine. Although I suspect that it is precisely implemented in the form of a Java-applet on web-page. But it’s hard for me to judge - I don’t even have access to that page. But this is just my speculation.

Oh god... Those PC specs are way above average. Even the older machine is very good.

I have a amd fx-8350 8 core @ 4GHz with 16GB ram and my base is not even loading. This is obviously something that BHG should communicate about. What are the minimum specs to run dominations on a PC!!

I play the browser version of the game on Dell latitude 5420 without any tricks. No freezing, no error messages... my video ads issues are ressolved right now.

I just updated the game on my ipad, it runs on the ipad, but the game no longer runs on my windows machine. I just got a new machine, microsoft surface laptop 32 gb with a snapdragon processor. This ran dominations perfectly yesterday. Today it loads dominationsworld.com, I can look at Stats, I can switch, in stats, from one of my accounts (e.g. Sandy) to another one (e.g. doc), but when I try to run the game, it gets stuck on the loading screen.

i think the pc version doesn't work again - almost normal when there is an update. for me it worked right after the update - now it doesn't anymore

I just checked on a second machine. Windows 11, intel i7-12700H processor 12th generation, 32 gb RAM, NVIDIA GEForce RTX 3070 Ti.

On both machines, the Surface Laptop and this Alienware system, Dominations fails in the same way on Firefox, Chrome and Edge. On both systems, I have tried tweaking my configurations in multiple ways (various security settings) and nothing works.
