Posts from After playing for half an hour or an hour, the screen starts to distort. Auto-translated

It's not exactly distortion, but rather the game divides into thousands of small squares... the entire game freezes, and even after pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete, nothing happens. I have to restart the computer, which, as you can imagine, is very tiring. P.S. I have a powerful computer, DirectX 9.0 is installed, and the game is a licensed copy. I can't reinstall it because I lost the disc.

There’s no need to create two identical topics. It’s a shame that reinstallation isn’t possible. Are the problems only with Heroes? In any case, try updating DirectX and your video card drivers. If it’s not a secret, what video card do you have? And what operating system are you using? In short, let’s see your system specs.

Sorry) my bad for the topic, the internet is just glitching, so it's like this.
Yes, the problem is only with Heroes. I've updated DirectX a million times.
It didn't help..
I'll post the config later.
I don't really understand this stuff, but my brother is a programmer, and we spent about three hours trying, but nothing worked.

You may not have the patch for the game installed.

The latest patch versions for Heroes:
Heroes V (original) 1.60
Heroes V: Hammers of Fate 2.1
Heroes V: Tribes of the East 3.1

Download and install the patch that corresponds to your version of Heroes 5.

Thank you very much!
I'll try now.

Oops!
It says that the installation is incorrect and that I need to reinstall the game and then install the update... but I don't have the disc!

Hmm, these kinds of errors usually occur in pirated copies. Regardless, it seems like you won't be able to fix it without reinstalling the game. I think you'll have to borrow a disc from friends or buy a licensed copy from a store.

Hmm, it's not a problem... it's easy to buy a disc.
I'm just curious, why is that?
P.S. I assure you, the disc is not a pirated copy, but a licensed one.

I'm just curious, why is that?

Maybe it was installed incorrectly, which explains why the patch also refused to install... I've just never encountered this before.

What does "косо" mean?
Please explain, because I haven't encountered this either.

Maybe there were some errors during installation, like a damaged disc.

Clear.
Although that shouldn't happen... I bought the disc and installed it right away. So, I need a new disc and a patch.
Everything is clear, thank you very much.
