Dear mudvaLing, Could you perhaps create an archive containing only the changed files, so that users wouldn't have to download the entire demo version, but could simply replace the necessary files from the beta and have everything working? It seems like this would be possible if you were to examine the data.pak file.

Here's the horror – another 700MB – I don't think I can handle that on a dial-up connection. I agree with the previous post – if they could make a patch like that, it would be a real dream for dial-up users.

А мне Герои Меча и Магии 5 очень даже понравились ...

Dear mudvaLing,

I'll see what I can do!

I took a look, and it seems the update will be around 500 MB. Also, WinRAR was freezing when I was extracting the files. Should I use a different program?

Is there no Russian localization for the demo?

I haven't seen one personally!

PS But I'm a bit annoyed with Nival; they could have made a Russian demo (Okay, the beta was in English). We're always left out; I feel like they're delaying the Russian version:mad:

What if you use Total Commander? In the beta version, it seemed like you could simply browse the data.pak file as a folder using Total Commander.
500 MB :( Is that really how many changes there are in the demo?
