Game crashes: questions and answers.

Oh, yes! It happened. The answer to the question about crashes in HoMM5 Gold Edition is known. The problems are: 1. The game crashes. 2. (and the main one) maps crash in the single-player network game mode. 3. Cyrus and his departure from the castle. Here's the answer: 1. If your game is glitching. Most problems are solved by editing the properties of the game launch icon on the desktop. After installing the game, two icons appear for launching "Heroes 5 Gold" and "Heroes 5 Dark Messiah mission". If the second one (Dark Messiah) works perfectly and doesn't glitch, then all the problems with the main game are solved very simply: - Right-click on the "Heroes 5 Gold" icon on the desktop, - Select "Properties", - Go to the "Shortcut" tab, - In the "Start in:" field, add "\bin" to the end. That is, if you had the path "d:\GAMES\Heroes5", you need to change it to "d:\GAMES\Heroes5\bin", and immediately the music, the clip at the beginning and end, the hardware cursor, and many other things will appear, including battles will start and the game will stop crashing! 2. Also, custom maps in the Maps folder can cause conflicts. ATTENTION!!!! The map "Sanquinary Ascension.h5m" in the Maps folder causes crashes, possibly other glitches, so delete it. 3. Glitches in mods and sometimes in maps. Do the following. While dealing with Cyrus, create folders named UserMODs2 and Maps2 in the root of the game, copy everything from the mods folder into them, except for h5_all_campaigns_mod.h5u, and copy all the maps into the new folders. Delete everything from the old folders except for h5_all_campaigns_mod.h5u. Cyrus stays in the castle = everything is OK. After we trap him, switch everything back. Enjoy.
