The licensed version is a bit more stable; a friend bought it and is slowly progressing through the Campaigns. But he has 16 GB of RAM, and I saw the process consuming over 8 GB.
Also, the licensed version tends to leave the old process in memory after a crash, which does happen, and this prevents the new process from having enough resources, causing it to lag.

By the way, try pressing ESC during battle loading. The effect is amazing.

As far as I understand, the issue of losing campaign progress has already been fixed with a patch, but before that, he couldn't complete it, so I don't know how it was before.
Buying a licensed version and then fixing it with patches is not for me. If I'm going to spend money, I want to enjoy the game, but unfortunately, that's not the case.

Comparing the 7th installment with the 5th and 6th, I'm convinced that I only enjoyed the 5th. I liked the new graphics in the 6th, but in the 7th, I'm annoyed by the constant crashes and the lack of campaign progress saving.
Only the 5th Heroes game, with its expansions and problem-free gameplay, deserves a license purchase!

I don't really like campaigns in Heroes, especially the latest ones. You have to rush, you can't play calmly, and you're not allowed to let certain things happen.
Same here.
I got to the 4th map in the Mage campaign, and there's an impossible task from the start. I played until halfway through the map, victory was within reach, and then bam... the saves stopped loading, and then the progress of both campaigns was completely reset. What kind of enjoyment is that :smile11:?

So far, the only thing I remember from the 7th installment is the illogical actions of the opponents. For example, on the second-to-last map for the Undead, the Necropolis has a shipyard, but they never bothered to build a single ship or even try to destroy Adar-Malik in the open sea while he was gathering his army!
On the same map, none of the other factions tried to capture Adar-Malik's Castle, either at the beginning or at the end of the game; they just kept driving past it. It's stupid...
