Dear judges!

I would like to inform you of the following.
After all the troubles with the failing hard drive, I installed my spare hard drive.

After installing the game, patch 3.1, copying the saves, and the mod with templates and the map, my respected opponent in the 7th round (Alex_NV) and I were unable to load the saved game within 40 minutes. If Alex_NV tries to load it, the message is: checksum mismatch, etc. If I try to load the game, the message is: the saved game is corrupted or the map does not exist...

The game was saved on the 6th week, and it seemed like it was going to be the final round. At that point, I had broken through the enemy's defenses on my side, and I had broken through about 40% of the enemy's defenses on their side (also by me). The stats of my hero and my opponent's hero are approximately equal...

I request that you make a decision...

if an attempt is made to load the game, the following happens: the saved game is corrupted or the map does not exist...

since the map was created using a generator, it should be in the maps folder for both opponents; therefore, you need to download the map from Alex.

no, in 3.1, you no longer need to submit the map if it wasn't created using the new generator, as is the case here. The sum doesn't match... it's possible that you have files with different dates in the mods folder (or someone forgot to change another one). Check the identity of the files in the folder. There's no name in the save... Well, it's unlikely, but could someone have confused the names? More likely, the last autosave was made when someone had already exited the game. Try the second-to-last save. If it also doesn't load and mentions the name issue, let someone send it to another person.

The game was saved on week 6, and it seems it was about to be the final round. At that point, I had completed my main objective, and my opponent had completed about 40% of their main objective (also by me). The stats of my opponent's main hero and my main hero are approximately equal...

I confirm!

No, that's not the case. In 3.1, you no longer need to include the map if it wasn't created using the new generator, as is the case here.
Checksum mismatch... it's possible that you have files with different dates in the mods folder (or someone forgot to change something). Check the identity of the files in the folder.
There's no name in the save... Well, it's unlikely, but could someone have confused the names? It's more likely that the last autosave was made when someone had already exited the game.

Since Killa lost all his data, I sent him the map from the maps\ folder, the templates from UserMods\, and the latest saves (manual and autosave) from the Saves\ folder. All saves were made while both players were in the game. Could other mods that are in the UserMods\ folder have an impact?

Since Killa lost all his data, I sent him a map from the maps\ folder, templates from UserMods\, and the latest saves (manual and autosave) from the Saves\ folder. All saves were made when both were in the game. Can other mods located in the UserMods folder possibly affect this?

Of course they can affect it. Both players must have only one mod in their UserMods folder and nothing else, and it is essential that this mod is identical for both. Another thing I personally encountered is that both on HeroesWorld and on the League, offline tournaments are held. So, if I download a map and a starting save and start playing through it, even for a couple of days, then sign up and go play online, after, say, being disconnected from the game, I cannot access the save at all — it says "checksum does not match and recommends checking mods and patches". I simply delete the map I downloaded for offline play, the starting save, and all subsequent saves, reload the game, and everything is fine. To put it shortly — clear out both the maps folder and the saves folder completely in both instances!

I deleted everything from the maps, save, and usermods folders, leaving only the map, save, and mod files, respectively...

But I still couldn't connect to the created game... :(

download the second-to-last save
you're not alone) everyone needs to check the user mods folder and make sure they're consistent. In reality, the map has already been generated - you can both remove all files from the user mods folder, which will eliminate the possibility of an error due to a date mismatch.
Very rarely... but it seems that someone had a situation where the map was copied into the maps folder as a copy... there should only be one with that name.

But it seems you have a different problem? Is it impossible to load any save, not mentioning an error, but that the name is not mentioned?
Try loading each save individually. If someone reports that the name is not mentioned... load the previous one. Again? Well... did you only make named saves or also autosaves? They might have been lost if the person who saved them played a bunch more games in the meantime, without putting the necessary ones in a separate folder. If that's the case and the second person doesn't have them either... that's it).

If one of you is using Vista, the game shouldn't be installed on the C drive, as I've encountered this issue. The map sometimes gets embedded as a standard map, and until you remove it using the editor or a mod and map management program, or even reinstall the game, you won't be able to play. Therefore, I advise all Vista users to install Heroes on a different drive.

Vista isn't installed on my computer...

I managed to recover the damaged hard drive... So, I think we'll be able to load the game... But Alex_nv hasn't been online for 3 days (his last contact was on November 27th)...

We've already played against a worthy opponent in the 8th round...

I request that the judges make a decision regarding my match with the player Vasja in the 6th round. We haven't been able to play for three weeks: we scheduled a specific time several times, but the opponent couldn't play at that time for various reasons. I was almost every day ready to play on weekdays from 6:30 PM Moscow time and was online, but it was very difficult to reach him at that time due to the time difference, and I can't play in the morning on weekdays because of work. In general, that's the situation.

The Will-Kolobok game was played all weekend, but the game took longer than expected, so I request additional time to finish it.

I can’t seem to get in touch with A.Matrix... Preliminary negotiations ended on Monday, November 25th (they started on the 24th) - then, for a couple of days, I saw my opponent online, but at that time, their match from the seventh round was still ongoing, and, understandably, they weren't focused on our eighth-round game. However, there's still no news (and the tournament will soon be over...).

The results table has been updated. Please ask all players to report the outcome of their matches. I apologize for the long absence! I can't contact the participants via ICQ because someone changed my password or stole my number. I haven't been able to recover it for two weeks, and technical support is silent. If anyone knows a solution, please write to me in a private message or to Leolopus. Thank you in advance.
