Posts from There’s a problem with saves in the add-on: the campaigns have disappeared again! Help!

What the... :smile31: ? This is the second time, after completing another mission in the Campaigns, that the game freezes when loading a new one, and all my efforts are wasted: there is no list of Campaigns to choose from (the Campaigns section is empty!). In general, I figured out a long time ago that the problem lies in the campaign.sav file (which contains information about the progress in the Campaigns), which somehow got corrupted again. I already asked for this file in one thread, and thankfully, I was given it, but the last Campaign wasn't completed in that file, and now I need the very last mission, where the fate of everyone is decided. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone who has completed all the Campaigns in Lords of the North could upload the campaign.sav file, which is located in the saves folder. Here is an approximate path: C:\Documents and Settings\DemonHunter\My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Hammers of Fate\Profiles\DiMen\Saves. Take it from the profile you used to complete the Campaigns, if you have more than one. Thank you in advance!!! P.S. In the original game, I didn't have these problems, but here, the saves are constantly getting corrupted, and the Campaigns disappear. It's strange; I thought that add-ons fix bugs, not add new ones.

That’s interesting, I thought it was just a bug on my computer: all my campaigns disappeared too... And how do we fix this?

Interesting thing, I thought it was just my computer glitching: all the campaigns have disappeared for me too... How do you deal with this?..

Well, like I'm saying: the problem is in the campaign.sav file, which is located in the saves folder in "my documents"; you just need to replace it with another file that isn't corrupted. That's why I'm asking those who have already completed all the campaigns to give me this file, because once I replace it with mine, all missions will be available. Then you can keep your own saves, and later load any of them and continue playing with your heroes, and everything will be fine.
You can check the last page of the "addon discussion" thread. One kind person posted this file on the last page, but only the first two campaigns are completed there, and the missions of the last one are unavailable. I need access to the very last mission.

The campaigns didn't disappear in the add-on for me... it's in the original HoMM5. :( If someone has already posted a save file here, please let me know where. I don't have the strength to play through it again as Aunt Isabel and Uncle Agrael... it's so boring!!! :smile21:

Which mission save do you need? I only have one for version 1.4.

I was so engrossed in playing through the first mission as the Elves (light faction) that I think I need a save file from the last mission of Raileigh.

No, there isn't a complicated system... you just need a save file from the beginning of the first Elven mission... send me your email address in a private message, and I'll send you the save file.

Hey everyone, can anyone help me? Has no one completed the campaigns from the expansion pack?

No, the system isn't that complicated... you just need the save file from the beginning of the first Elven mission... send me your email address in a private message, and I'll send you the save file...

Oh dear, what a nightmare. :( When I load the save file, the game crashes with an apology "for the inconvenience," so it seems the problem is with the patch. Which I didn't install, to be precise. :( I'll go look for the patch...

What??? :eek: 100 MB??? :eek: Oh my... my campaigns

You can only use a save file that has all campaigns unlocked. You launch the mission you need from it, save the beginning, delete the general save, complete the mission, and all missions up to that one will be unlocked. 8)) If you want, I have a general save file.

2 DiMatteo, I don't have a save file for the add-on because I haven't even come close to completing the campaigns; I don't have the time, but I would have sent it without any problems. Maybe someone can help this person after all?

Oh dear, is there really no way to save me without this patch?:(

But why would the original game and the expansion differ in how saves are handled? In the expansion, for example, all you need to do is replace the `campaign.sav` file in your profile with a normal, undamaged one, naturally taking it from someone who has progressed as far as possible, so that more missions are available. Do you understand? Then you can even load your own saves and continue playing, if you haven't corrupted them yet. Otherwise, you'll just have to start the mission from the beginning (the MISSION, not the Campaign). Here, take my file from the original game, I completed it all, and try doing as I said, it might help. However, if you start the mission from the beginning, the heroes will be leveled up as they were for me, but if you load your save, the heroes will be yours. Just insert the file into the saves folder, replace your own (don't delete the saves if they are not corrupted).

P.S. And I'm still waiting for some kind soul to upload the same file for me, but from the expansion, I want to know how it all ends, I didn't go through all those torments for nothing. This is the second time I'm asking for this file, the first time I got it right away, now no one seems to be paying attention. Helloooo, is anyone on the forum who has completed the expansion, please help...

Thanks, kind sir, I'll try your save. If it doesn't work, I'll beg Uncle Alan. :smile02:
P.S. I feel like an orphan from an orphanage, to whom well-wishers send gifts for the New Year: someone sends an almost unworn hat, someone sends an almost unused doll.

I'll send it in the evening; I'm at work right now. I've completed the entire campaign.

I'll send it in the evening, I'm at work right now. I've completed the campaign.

Hooray!!! Thank you, I'm looking forward to it!

Hooray!!! Thanks, I'm looking forward to it!

Here you go! I have save files, and I can upload them.
