The game does not save settings, meaning that every time you launch the game, you have to reconfigure the resolution, auto-battle, and other settings. Also, auto-saving does not work, even though the checkbox is enabled in the settings. Reinstalling the game did not help.

Perhaps this program will help you: http://www.maps4heroes.com/heroes5/download/h5_tweak.rar

Thank you, but I don't need this program anymore; the problem was solved (surprisingly) by deleting all the save files.

Could you please tell me if it's possible to play any of the Heroes games online without a license? I'm just curious.

There isn't a jubilee option. I think you can play it in local multiplayer.

My friend and I want to play Heroes of Might and Magic V version 3.0 in local multiplayer, but it's not working. However, we can play Heroes of Might and Magic III without any issues – he creates the game, and I join by entering his IP address.

What could be the problem? Please advise.

Homm 5, Stronghold faction, version 3.1, patched, new drivers installed, and DirectX updated. It crashes in 90% of maps where you can choose starting towns (the default setting is "random"). This happens with both standard maps and downloaded maps from the internet. Reinstalling the game doesn't help. How can I fix this?!

I have a problem: I downloaded version 1.5 of the game, and it installs perfectly, but the campaign doesn't work, and scenarios load but crash. The campaign is listed in the menu, but when you select it, it doesn't work; it just shows the video intro. Also, there's no settings option in the main menu. Maybe someone else has had this issue with the disc; I think some files are missing. The image file is 1.8GB, which seems normal. The "Maps" folder is empty, and there's no "Campaign" folder at all.

Hello, I have the gold edition of Heroes of Might and Magic V installed from a licensed disc. Everything worked perfectly until I patched it to version 3.1 using the updater. Now, the game doesn't recognize any maps in the /maps folder, even those just generated by the game itself, or those created in the editor, or downloaded from the internet (although they are marked as belonging to version 3.1). When I click on a map file in the folder, the editor opens, and after a few seconds, it displays the following error:

After reinstalling to version 3.0, everything works normally. But 3.1 is the latest version, and it also removes the need for the disc, which is good because it's already quite worn out. Has anyone encountered a similar problem, or does anyone know a solution? Please help.

I'm having a problem with Heroes of Might & Magic V: Tribes of the East. I used to play it normally and completed a lot of the game. Then I had some computer issues and had to reinstall the system several times. Eventually, I reinstalled Heroes after about six months. Now, when I launch the game, I see the menu and the name input field, but instead of the battling cyclops in the background, there's a black screen. The game freezes, the computer freezes, and the screen occasionally displays "no signal." However, the task manager shows that Heroes is still running. Please help me figure out what the problem is. P.S. I haven't changed my hardware. Could it be that the game isn't compatible with Windows 7? P.P.S. The disc is a licensed copy.

kizan666, try running the game in compatibility mode with WinXP. Another question: is your DirectX version up to date?
Doctormalar, your maps are not being saved correctly. This usually happens when there are Cyrillic characters in the file path, but in your case, that doesn't seem to be the issue... I've seen that a similar problem can occur due to an excessively long file path. Try renaming the folders so that their names have fewer characters.

DirectX is definitely working fine. I installed it from the disc, and what does it mean to run it in compatibility mode with XP?

There’s a feature in Heroes of Might and Magic VII; look it up. If you’re having an issue with the axis, it will definitely help.

Ment, thank you very much. It helped, even though the game defaults to a long name, I was still able to shorten it, which helped.

kizan666 It might also be due to the video card drivers. Try downloading the latest ones from the developer's website and installing them.

Compatibility mode didn't help. The drivers seemed fine, but I'll try updating them.

Updating the drivers didn't help. I'd even say that, combined with compatibility mode, it got worse: before, the menu was visible, but now it's just a black screen with music playing in the background.

I'll try installing just Heroes 5.

The regular version of Heroes runs perfectly fine. No glitches at all... I'm puzzled. Aren't the system requirements the same for these games?

By the way, during installation, both the first and second time (I reinstalled the game), it gives an error at 89%: The following error occurred in the file: D:[Games]\Nival Interactive\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Editor\IconCache\AdvMapObjectLink\MapObjects\_(AdvMapObjectLink)\Objects-All-Terra\FestiveMission\PanzerKlein_Model.(AdvMapObjectLink). The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3) Is the disc scratched? :mad: P.S. Maybe someone can send me this file? kizan666@mail.ru
