Posts from HoMM3 HD bug reports.

A very strange bug: when someone tries to join my game room while I'm loading a save, their game crashes. I don't have any logs, of course, and the crash log from others contains some gibberish about sulfur in nagas... I specifically checked, and my nagas do give gems. However, I don't get kicked out if I join someone else's load game.
P.S. This is happening in Sod, and the bug occurs both in the lobby and in local multiplayer.

a map was generated without the red player (i.e., me). I haven't seen this before; it's absurd. RC50 WOG.

This can happen. It's a bug in the map generator. Most often, it's because the area where the red player was supposed to spawn is flooded (water) instead of being a spawn point.

I really hope that Baratorch will eventually get around to fixing the bugs in the SOD generator...

The game periodically crashes at the beginning of a battle; the battle music plays, but the process remains in the background. There are no error messages. Single-player, WOG.

This is still happening. I understand that there isn't enough information, but there's nowhere to get it from. A crash log isn't being created, so the game seems to think everything is okay. Where should I start looking for the problem?

Khota, 5.0, 53, doesn't allow you to climb higher than 1080th in the ranking.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature :)

Critical errors have started popping up, apparently after the last update (SOD):
1. A crit crash occurs if you open a zone where the computer had moved the day before and then use "View Turn".
2. The opponent's client crashes entirely when they select a hero.

Critical errors started appearing after the latest update (SOD):
1. The game crashes if you open the zone where you moved around the day before and then replay the turn.
2. The opponent's client crashes when they select a hero.

SOD was last updated on 12/04/2018.
Is this your first game since then?

If no one else is experiencing these issues,
and you're only encountering them in one specific game, it means the map/save is bugged.

In any case, and especially in your case, we need daily save files with an indication of which day and under what circumstances the critical error occurs.

If no one else is experiencing positive results, but you are in one specific game, it means the map/save is bugged.

In any case, and especially in your case, you need daily saves with an indication of which day and under what circumstances the critical error occurs.

In the evening, I will send daily saves with a description of when the critical error occurred. I was able to defeat the first critical error – without reviewing the turn, but the opponent has a problem; he cannot select two heroes out of eight.
I meant not updating SoD, but updating the HD mod, but to be honest, I don't understand much about it; you are more aware of the reason for these critical errors. My question is simple: is it possible to defeat these critical errors and continue playing this save, or does someone need to replay a day so that the critical errors do not appear?

Added after 2 hours 8 minutes
I sent the daily saves and a description of the critical error by email.

here is what it shows, it is impossible to play, it just kicks me out of the battle, I've already ruined three games, please help

I will send you the daily saves in the evening with a description of when the crash occurred. I was able to defeat the first crash without reviewing the turn, but my opponent has a problem; he cannot select two heroes out of eight.
I meant updating the HD mod, not the SOD, but to be honest, I don't know much about it; you are more aware of the cause of these crashes. My question is simple: is it possible to defeat these crashes and continue playing with this save, or does someone need to replay a day so that the crashes don't appear?

Added 2 hours 8 minutes ago
I sent the daily saves and a description of the crash via email.

We fixed the crashes by going back one day and replaying.

The game crashes frequently when saving manually.

I even stopped playing the single-player campaign because of these crashes... I wrote to Baratorch, but I didn't get any results or answers((((

Is there any solution to this problem? It makes the game unplayable.

Is there a solution to this problem? It makes the game unplayable.

The issue might be related to multithreading. Try setting Render Threads to 1.
Or use 32-bit True mode. I also started using it recently, partly for authenticity and personal preference, and haven't experienced any crashes in single-player, even with frequent manual saves.

leiz, I checked the launcher settings – the default number of threads is set to the number of processor cores. Throughout my gameplay with the HD mod, I haven't encountered any crashes during manual saves. I doubt that the issue lies in multithreading.
And yes, I have 32-bit True (stretchable) GDI enabled.
