Added a direct link to the um.dll file on the first post!

Thanks for your work!!!

Thank you! Did I understand correctly – the game can be launched through the standard *.exe file, and the mod that modifies the AI, created by RedHavenHero, will already be included in the patch?

Yes!

It is very cool!

Great! Will 5.5 git-library patches affect work of exe with this dll?

Great! Will 5.5 git-library patches affect work of exe with this dll?

Only if the patches from 5.5 repo overlap the one from the dll. Dont use the patches that do the same thing as the DLL patch notes and you are good.

Added a note in compatibility section about patch being not compatible with the Map Editor. So far noone has reported issues but it is possible to make the editor crash when used.
The solution is just to revert to the original um.dll for that moment.

Removed compatibility note from the main post as after some tests it seems the DLL is not used by the Editor exe so there is no chance for crashes.

This fixes should make the base game more stable, not the opposite so I will appreciate if you test the bugs and provide feedback even if no issues occur. Just mention which feature was tested.

Game sometimes crashes when casting a spell on a trap
Can you remove the delay before animations in combat?

Game sometimes crashes when casting a spell on a trap

Do you mean goblin traps or other ? Which spell triggers the crash?  I need details!

Can you remove the delay before animations in combat?

I dont know how.

Do you mean goblin traps or other ? Which spell triggers the crash?  I need details!

I dont know how.

Yes, goblin traps. All spells, which caused the crash before (Crystal, wall of swords and hive). Without the patch, crashes occur 100% of the time. With this DLL, crashes occur with some probability, but they still occur.Create an arena with goblins and throw traps, and cast a summon on the trap with the enemy hero. Sooner or later, the crash happens.

Does the AI ​​fix require a separate mod installation or is it built into the library? I understand it works right away without the mod. Right?
