Marmot, please launch the map in a clean SoD, not in WoG 3.58. If you had agreed to discuss this in chat, as suggested, everything would have been resolved much faster.

Marmot, I installed WoG 3.58f on my SoD, and the map still works.

Just don't play it in 3.58, as commanders and other features ruin the balance.

It might be due to your SoD version, your operating system, the Black Phantom patch, or the ERM script library (we've ruled out the problem with your archiver).

It's impossible to check all these assumptions at once. The map does not use ERM.

So, put it in a separate SoD folder, check the map file and your software for viruses, check if other maps from the archive run, open the map in the editor and save it under a new name.

And if none of this helps, then the problem is either with your SoD or your operating system.

If you run a clean SoD (Heroes3.exe), the installed WoG does not affect its operation in any way

- you write.

THIS IS NOT TRUE. When I launched SoD (Heroes3.exe) after 3.58f was installed on it, the commander icon appeared on the hero screen.

This means that 3.58f is written into the SoD files, with all the consequences that follow.

Patches and some scripts may also behave this way.
