Posts from I can’t launch patch 1.6. Auto-translated

Hello everyone! When loading patch 1.6, it says that the game is not installed or is installed incorrectly. What is the reason?:smile32:

to ALLI:

• You might have a pirated copy; patches cannot be installed on pirated versions.
• If you have a licensed version with version 1.0, then you need to install three patches: first 1.4, then 1.5, and finally 1.6.
• Or something else... read this topic: [FAQ] Before Asking a Question!
• Carefully review the topics in this section: Technical Support for Heroes 5

Sincerely,
P.S. To moderators: please move this topic to the section: Technical Support for Heroes 5

I would like to know more about the problem. First of all: is the game a licensed copy? What is the original version? If it's just a licensed original copy, it has version 1.0, and to install patch 1.6, you need to first install patches 1.4, then 1.5, and only then 1.6! For Silver Edition (which is already patched to 1.5), you can install 1.6 directly. If it's a pirated copy, the patches probably won't install. Also, I suggest you reinstall the game; it might be installed incorrectly! Good luck!

First, the cumulative patch 1.6 has been released a long time ago, and it can be installed on any version (http://patches.ubi.com/heroes_might_magic_5/heroes_might_magic_5_1.06_rus_cumulative.exe). Second, the regular 1.6 cannot be installed on the Silver Edition; you need to install 1.5 first, and then 1.6 (this is most likely the problem. The cumulative patch installs on the Silver Edition without any problems).

It just won't install. The game is a licensed copy.

Hmm, but I suppose this patch is for the English version of the game... will it work for the Russian version?

That's exactly what doesn't install. The game is a licensed version.

Then try reinstalling the game. There might be an error in the registry, and try to make sure there are no Russian characters in the path to the folder.

Actually, the link provided is for a Russian patch.

P.S. It installed without any problems for me.

Actually, the link provided leads to the Russian patch.

Well, to be honest, the link worked for me... :o
