Hmm... I hadn't thought of that... What about in previous versions of the game? I have the latest patch installed...

Yes, if saves were made and then the game was patched, it is not recommended to launch them; this is stated in the patch's readme file.

I have a similar problem - it used to launch normally, but now it doesn't launch and doesn't display any messages, but it turns out it does launch... AFTER 10 MINUTES!!!
I also sometimes have to stare at the starting screen for a long time if I forget to disable the McAfee antivirus before launching the game. It's not 10 minutes, but it will definitely take 4-5 minutes.

Everything is fixed now – I just reinstalled the game, and it worked. Maybe it’s because the save files were deleted?

I'm having trouble launching the game. I installed it on my computer (thinking I'd finally be able to play), and when I started a campaign, it began loading... and then it crashed :( It gave me an error message, but I'm not sure if I should send it or not. I thought the game was the problem, so I reinstalled it, but the same thing happened. Then I remembered my old laptop, so I installed it there, and the game runs... but it's very laggy (it's a really old laptop). But on my new computer, it just won't run. I'm wondering if it's my integrated Intel video card that's the problem. I've heard that it might be the reason the game isn't working, but it should be configurable, and it should work after I adjust the settings. Can you tell me what settings I should adjust, or is it not the video card?

Dr.Night, could you please provide the technical specifications of your computer and describe the configuration in more detail? Are you using the latest drivers? Is DirectX up to date? And by the way, is the game a licensed copy? It's difficult to solve your problem without more information.

Intel(r) Corel(TM) CPU 4300 1.80GHz
1GB of RAM
Integrated Intel G965 Express Chipset Family video card (Total memory 384MB)
Latest DirectX and drivers...
I bought the computer not long ago (I confess... it's a work computer, I decided to play at work). The game is a licensed copy...(it's a dream, the last game I played was Heroes 3...).
I'm interested in the option to accelerate textures, but AGP is unavailable...
Someone suggested that the video card is the problem... but is there a way to configure it in the BIOS (I don't know how, I almost broke it)?

Yeah, it looks like you probably won't be able to play on this graphics card...
Everything else is fine, and you have enough memory, but the graphics card... I'm not an expert, but I don't think Heroes will run on it. Although, the most important thing is to check if it supports pixel shaders; without that support, the game won't run. Download the latest drivers, reinstall the game, install the latest patches, try setting the game settings to the minimum, and disable everything unnecessary; maybe it will run then... Unfortunately, I can't help you any further. I'm not an expert... Wait, maybe someone else will have some suggestions.

My game stopped launching. I start it, the loading icon appears, and then everything disappears. However, the Task Manager shows that the game is running. Reinstalling didn't help. Please advise on what to do. The add-ons work, but the base game doesn't.

I bought the game, but this release only works on nVidia GeForce, and I have an Asus. It starts the initial video, and then freezes. Help! Please provide a link where I can download patches so that it will run on other video cards. Thanks in advance! :(

If it's the vanilla version, the problem can be solved by installing patches. Either 1.4 + 1.5, or the cumulative 1.6. I've heard that 1.6 has glitches in some of the campaign missions.

I'm having trouble launching the game. I installed it on my computer (thinking, "Finally, I can play!"), I went into the campaign, the loading started... and then it crashed :( It gave an error message, asking whether to send an error report or not... I thought the game was buggy, so I reinstalled it... but the same problem occurred... I remembered my old laptop... I installed it there, and the game runs... but it's laggy (it's really old). And my computer is new... but it won't run on it... I'm wondering if my integrated Intel video card is the problem... I've heard that it might be the reason why the game won't run... but it can be configured, and it should work after configuration... Can you tell me what to configure? Or is it not the video card?
I've encountered a similar problem. The game ran on this machine:
P4-1.8
256 DDR
Radeon 9600pro (256);
Everything was laggy, but it worked reliably :D

Then I bought more RAM, 2 sticks of 512 (I removed the 256), and after that, it started...
The lag stopped, but the game kept crashing at various points. Either a full reboot, or a persistent request to send an error report... I tried patching, reinstalling... Nothing helped. I removed one RAM stick (left 512) -- now everything works normally! Maybe that's the issue?

I happened to find a disc with Heroes 5 (a pirated copy), installed it on Mandriva 2007, and it ran normally under Wine. I played for a while and, being an honest player, I went and bought a licensed disc of the same game, Gold Edition. I uninstalled the pirated copy, installed the licensed version, but the licensed version doesn't seem to recognize the licensed disc; it says "insert...". Is there a way to fix this? P.S.: The pirated copy also required a disc, but when I inserted it, it was satisfied.

Hello everyone...
I'm having some kind of strange problem with the game launching. The first time I installed Heroes of Might and Magic V, I launched it, played, and everything was fine. Then, when I tried to play again, the game starts, I click "Start Game," the screen goes blank, and nothing happens. There are no errors, it's as if nothing was launched. I've reinstalled the game and the codecs, but the same thing happens. I've been trying to figure out what's wrong for 4 days now, but I can't understand it. If anyone has encountered this, I would be grateful for your help.
My hardware is new: S775 Intel Core 2 Quad-Q6600 2.4 GHz/8192k/1066MHz OEM/ PCI-E 256mb GeForce 8600 GT 128bit/DDR3/DVI+TV+Out, 1GB+1GB RAM.
