Do you want to customize the game? Then you should go here.

1) Download the Heroes 5 Tweaker (it is attached to the post).

2) Extract it to a convenient location.

3) Run the Tweaker. Initially, it will be in English. To change it to Russian, go to Tools -> Settings. Find the Language tab and select Russian.

4) If the folder with profiles has not been automatically detected, see step 5. If it has, see step 6.

5) If the folder with profiles has not been detected, do the following:

Go to Service -> Settings.

Game path: This should be the folder where Heroes 5 is installed. Profiles path: My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Profiles.

Save, and the settings will appear.

6) If you need to increase the game's performance: Select the Graphics tab and configure it as shown in the screenshot.

If this doesn't help, set Texture Size to 512 and move the Quality slider to the left.

This will increase the game's performance several times. On my computer, it used to lag on very low graphics, but now it runs smoothly on very high settings.

7) Browse through the tabs and customize everything to your liking. DO NOT change the Network tab under any circumstances! And do not change the Graphics tab if you have completed step 6!

8) Click Save and exit the program.

I hope I helped you. Have a nice game!

Rin, I only have one question! How can you claim to be playing on the highest settings now?

The thing is, you only need to do this if your game is lagging badly. Here, it's clear that the beautiful highlights and reflections in the water have been turned off, which degrades the image quality and disables the burning effect on objects (this puts a heavy load on the system). It turns your cities into 2D or weakly 3D environments and also disables the rendering of some elements until they appear.

look at the screenshot. everything is set to maximum! I didn't disable anything except shadows. all the nice visual effects are ENABLED! it's the shadows that cause the game to lag terribly on weaker computers!
