Regarding the bug-free nature of games, I can say that only two companies still manage to achieve this – Blizzard and Valve. As for whether it's excessively buggy, it seems quite tolerable, or rather, not bad at all.

:smile45: At the end of the installation, this message appeared: "[INTERNAL] Failed to register into Firewall Exceptions!", then it said that the game was installed successfully. When I launch it, this window pops up . I reinstalled it - the same thing :( . What is this, does anyone know?
If anyone is interested, I solved the problem like this:
I asked a friend for an account with unlimited data, updated the game as it wanted (through the same launcher), and everything has been good since then :) .

Both of them spend many years on this :) Online clones of Diablo 3 are already appearing.

I played the game, all settings are maxed out, there are no obvious bugs or noticeable frame drops, but the damn cursor ruins the overall picture. And as usual, the Russian voice acting is terrible, although the translation itself doesn't seem to be bad so far. Maybe the cursor issue only occurs on certain operating systems? Here are my specs, if anyone is interested:

Win7 SP1
Intel core 2 duo E8400 3GHz
RAM 4GB
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1024 MB GDDR5
Monitor 21.5" 1920x1080p

I bought the standard edition for 600. I installed, updated, and launched the game without any problems. Nothing is lagging, and the cursor isn't flickering. It's the same as in the beta. Although, essentially, I purchased a completely unfinished product; there are still many flaws. I hoped that the release would be of high quality. But no, you'll have to wait, of course... I even liked the alpha version more.

What specific flaws are you referring to? But generally, they are all freeloaders, that's true. The map features a remix of a similar theme from Heroes 5. It's not great, though. However, I liked the music in the battles; in Heroes 5, it somehow got on my nerves. I didn't play the beta much.

For example, the lack of music during the opponent's turn. It exists, but for some reason, it doesn't play. Also, there's no sound when clicking buttons, even though there used to be. The new voice acting for the moving hero doesn't match the animation at all. It's annoying that in the town windows, regardless of the faction type, the Haven symbol is displayed in the background. The lack of a reminder about the remaining movement points is irritating. There's no notification about creature growth, and the cost of upgrading troops isn't indicated. Movement on ships looks a bit strange... There are no splashes, and the sound is very unnatural. In short, I could go on and on. These are, of course, all minor things, and not everyone pays attention to them, but for me, it's important. It doesn't create a very good impression.
I'm only grateful that the Sanctuary town of the first level, without any buildings (in other words, in the state it's given at the beginning of the game), looks very beautiful on the adventure map, and there are no drawbacks. Starting from the second level, I personally don't like it; it's too cramped.
Here, in short. It's a sight to behold. :)

And yes, I don't like the huge amount of empty space. Even in King's Bounty, there was less. No, it looks incredibly beautiful and all, but when I think about how much cool stuff could be put instead of this beautiful mountain or these picturesque ruins, and...
The player still doesn't have access to all the beauty because half of it is outside the viewing area.
Yes, there is plenty of empty space. But I noticed one thing: when you approach the edge of the map, where there is such empty space, the view opens up more than usual. Either it's a feature, or it's a script that's working... In any case, they are showing off the beauty :).

And is it really that buggy? It seems tolerable, or rather, not bad at all.
I agree ;). Although it's still too early for me to draw conclusions about this.

It's interesting what causes the cursor to blink. I still haven't received the license, and I didn't install the pirated version on my desktop computer, but on my laptop, it runs at maximum settings, and the cursor blinks.

Mine flickers too, **Klivren**. Or rather, it sometimes blinks ;). It's quite possible that those who say the cursor "doesn't flicker" simply didn't notice it. I think it's a bug from the developers, not a hardware issue :).

It flickers very noticeably for me and is hard on the eyes, but what can you expect from these laptops? Perhaps it doesn't bother some people, but I highly doubt it; for me, it's a strain on my vision :o

I also experience performance issues with games on my laptop. In some games, the screen breaks up into large squares (with each square being about a centimeter in size, which is very noticeable), and other games launch but don't work properly: the cursor doesn't move, and pressing a button causes the game to crash. So, it's better to play modern games on desktop computers.

Hi everyone, I decided to share my thoughts on the 6th installment of the series as well :) I played a lot of the 2nd game (a long time ago), then a huge amount of the 3rd (mostly multiplayer for money :), and only a little bit of the 4th. I didn't play the 5th. I made maps for the 2nd and 3rd games. I almost never played the campaigns, mostly hot seat and online.

I bought the fancy version (English) for 900 in Steam. Everything installed and launched without a single problem.

The cursor blinks :)
I liked the game; for a release version, there aren't that many bugs (although, of course, there are some, but they haven't ruined the game yet). I really like the balance and features (skills, upgrades, buildings, and other game principles); all the new features seem very reasonable.
I completed (with multiple restarts and reloads) the second map on the list (large, something about gold, for two players) on hard difficulty - it was quite good.

Overall, so far everything is pretty good, although not perfect.

I'll figure out the upgrade system, races, units, and then I'll go online to find someone to fight with :)

Hello everyone, forum community!
I'm trying to play as the Necropolis faction, and I'm puzzled – does the Ice Breaker ability actually work in the game?
It says that this passive ability gives almost +80 to luck when attacking a "frozen" creature, meaning you freeze a unit and then almost always crit when attacking it. In reality, this almost never happens; it feels like the ability doesn't work at all...

Could you please tell me if I'm misunderstanding something, or if the translation is incorrect?

Also, a question about Counterstrike 2 and 3 ranks... I haven't tried them yet, but the description says they "grant the right" (2nd rank) and "grant the opportunity" (3rd rank) for an additional retaliatory strike in the first 0 turns. What does "first 0 turns" mean, and what is the difference between "right" and "opportunity"?

I would be happy to read the original description of the ability, but I can't find it anywhere online.

Please advise, comrades, if you know anything; I would be very grateful.

What does "first 0 turns" mean, and what is the difference between "right" and "opportunity"?

That is, at the first level of "Counterstrike," you get +1 counterattack for n turns, at the second level, +2, and at the third level, the counterattack is applied BEFORE the attack. In the game, as I understand it, n is replaced with 0. But in reality, this value is calculated and, accordingly, increases. In general, there is an inaccuracy in the formula. As for "Ice Breaker," I don't know; I haven't even seen such an ability :eek:.
