Hello everyone, I have a problem: the game sometimes crashes, and my saves and autosaves get corrupted. Is there a solution to this problem?

Zirael, you could also try modified chipset drivers, specifically the nforoce drivers. In your case, this "Special MCP65-67 nForce Driverpacks for Win7/Vista" might help. I can't guarantee the results, but if the system doesn't boot after installation, press F8 during startup and select the last successful configuration.
In dxdiag, you could try disabling AGP texture acceleration in the display tab, just to test, but I think this option was removed in Windows 7. You could also try setting the desktop resolution to 1024x768 before launching the game, as it might use this resolution on the first start, although it seems unlikely.

Icharus, today I changed the video card, installed a GeForce GT 610, and the game won't launch. I also tried running it on another computer, even putting my old video card in there, and it runs perfectly fine without any compatibility settings. So, it's definitely not the video card. I still think the problem is with the disks because they stopped launching right after disk D crashed. Even though I formatted it later, something might still be interfering. The games were installed on those disks at the time.

I don't doubt that the hardware itself isn't the issue; the problems only occur with Heroes 5. Regarding the disk error, other games from the same folder launch and run perfectly fine, and Heroes has been reinstalled multiple times, possibly even on a different physical disk, which is labeled as F in the screenshot. However, the error is always the same.
Here's another option I remembered: DxWnd is a utility for launching problematic old games on new systems, in windowed mode and more. You can add the Heroes executable to the list, right-click on the game in the list, and either run it or modify the settings in the DirectX tab. You can also enable logging to capture errors.

Did you check the disk for errors?

Thanks, I'll try it and let you know later.))
By the way, Heroes 6 launched without any problems.))

yes, all the disks, and multiple times
Some even leave their drivers in the system after being uninstalled.
Could you take a screenshot of all the processes in the Task Manager?

Haven't seen anything there yet.
And how much does your Heroes folder weigh?
Try adding Heroes to the Node exceptions.

another option) add the game exe to the DEP exceptions or disable it completely for a while.

Are you sure your computer meets the system requirements?

Hello!
I have the following problem: after updating to version 3.1, the movement on the global map only covers 2-3 tiles, and then I have to press the spacebar or click the mouse each time, which is annoying. I haven't found a solution on this forum or anywhere else online. I would be very grateful if you could tell me how to fix this.
