I couldn't find an answer to this question:
I installed Heroes 4, it's the Russian version, and it's probably not a pirated copy. Version 1.0 without any expansions. When I enter the Dungeon, the game crashes. It's clear that I need patches. However, when I try to install the patches, the system displays something like "REQUIRES INSTALLATION OF HEROES 4, etc."

Has anyone encountered this problem? Please advise on how to patch the game in this situation.

Does your game run without the disc?

Well, it's definitely a pirated copy. I have the regular Heroes 4 and The Coming Storm – they don't work without the disc. So, they must be licensed versions (even if you virtualize the disc, they still don't work). I also have Whirlwinds of War – it's a pirated copy, thankfully it works and works well. Try purchasing a licensed version.

I understand, thank you. Although, I'm surprised that it's a pirated copy. The disc was purchased from a fairly large and well-known company in the city.

I didn't say it's 100% a pirated copy, and what does the company matter, the main thing is that they bought it. And inspections in the store can be bribed, and they won't be touched. But that's just my opinion. :)

In Heroes of Might and Magic IV, the autosave feature doesn't work with the Excalibur expansion. Are there any ways to enable or disable it? The game doesn't have an option for this, and messing with the registry didn't help either.

Yes, but why do you need it? Just create your own save file... Or is the situation more complicated?

After that, all complaints should be directed at yourselves. Because there's no need to buy and play buggy, pirated versions. :)

You might be right... I remember having a pirated version, and the autosave didn't work for me... But I didn't worry about it... because everything else was fine...

What do tournaments and Excalibur have to do with each other?
Tournaments are not played on Excalibur.
Tournaments are played on Equilibrius, and they are played very well. And it's not a pirated, buggy version – it's a very good and interesting product.

Okay, I understand now... But I still don't get why he needs autosave...

mostly heard nonsense, but thanks to those who sympathized. And there should simply be an on/off option, and everyone decides for themselves in which position to leave it.
"But it's still unclear why he needs autosave..."
hahaha, it's really not clear at all, not in the slightest! Why were saves invented in the first place? Autosave is precisely for the case when you don't want to do it manually; I think you know that.
shnurov_hl, is there an Equilibris mod for version 4? (if there is one, please provide a link).

It only exists for Heroes 4. :D

As for the nonsense... Well, I don't know how else to explain that a pirated version of the game, assembled by people who are far from being experts, can glitch anywhere by definition... :D
