Good day to everyone!!!...
I'll start from the beginning... I bought a DVD box at Uralton, Chelyabinsk.
I came home, installed it, activated the key, and everything seemed to work fine... The only glitches were a flickering cursor and, when loading a save, not everything appeared on the map immediately... it gradually did.
I didn't notice that the launcher didn't automatically update the patch... I played until I completed the introductory campaign and all the missions for Necropolis... I must say that there were no other glitches besides the ones mentioned. Then I manually installed patch 1.1.387 (or something like that) first, and then 1.1.1... and you know what? Some patches are designed not to fix errors, but to add them instead!!!... It became impossible to play! When loading saves, the screen stopped moving... neither with the mouse nor with the arrow keys on the keyboard. You could only click on the map on the left side to go to the point you needed.
When attacking the "Water" Castle, when the story hero appeared and started talking in the message window, not only was there no voice, but the "next" button didn't work, so I had to click "next" to close the window...
My friend, who also bought a licensed copy, has a problem where the game freezes during battles with heroes, and either the game exits to Windows and displays an error, or you have to exit manually using Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Both of us have powerful computers, by the way, and we don't have any slowdowns in the game even on the maximum settings.
What do you guys think about this, and how can we fix it? I would be grateful for any advice, thank you!
