Gamazavr didn't provide the keys on time. They wrote that their internal testing wasn't completed. They said to wait a few days. However, the download links for 7 files were available for about 30 seconds. I managed to download all seven. It's over six gigabytes. But I don't know what to do with them now.
There's a patch 2.1 available separately online, as an executable file... I've already downloaded and installed it because the auto-update failed at 100% and gave an error. I also read somewhere that it needs to be installed manually. I installed everything, and when I enter the key to unlock the game, it says that the key is incorrect. I bought it from gama-gama.ru, and this isn't the first time, but this time something went wrong. I'm waiting for a response from them.

Does anyone have a link to the patch for the Russian digital version? The auto-update really glitches out at 100%.

You made a pre-order. The activation key and a link to the distribution will be available on May 6, 2013, at 22:00 on this page after the game is released. Friends,

Currently, ALL digital keys for the Russian version of the game, which are distributed in Russia and the CIS countries, do not allow you to activate the game.

When you try to activate the code, you receive error messages.

The publisher promises to fix the problems today, but we expect that the digital Russian version of the game will not work until the evening of May 6.

If you are not ready to wait, you can cancel the order and get a refund.

I'm not very wealthy, so I don't want to spend 400 rubles on something without knowing if it's worth it. Can anyone who has played it tell me if they liked the add-on or not? I'm interested in each person's subjective opinion.

link for reference (READ THE THREAD TO THE END!!!). They say it's a good add-on, the AI has become smarter, and no one has noticed any bugs yet (thanks to patch 2.1) :smile54:. Oh, if Heroes 6 had been this good at release... :smile26:
and it's better to buy it on Steam. And it's better to get the complete edition (although I haven't bought it myself). Trust me, it's worth it.:smile01:

Steam simply has no problems like Bookka.

So what? That way, you won't have any problems. And there are Russian subtitles available.

I already have the original Heroes 6 from Steam. I bought it right after its release and was disappointed. I didn't buy any expansions afterwards and eventually stopped playing the game. But now I reinstalled it, and it seems like it's playable now – they've improved it. So, I'm thinking about buying Shades of Darkness, as it has a new faction and so on. But I'm still not sure: those who pre-ordered supposedly get more bonuses compared to those who buy it now. And in general, I'd like to know the opinion of people who have actually started playing.

Sanctuary, thanks for the link. You know how to persuade. Just tell me, is there a difference in where to buy it? I'm definitely going to buy it on Steam, but I don't know where.

I'm already playing; I bought the pre-order key, and it worked right away. There were some minor problems with old maps, but now everything is fine. I'm playing, and I've already completed more than half of the Darkness campaign.

I still haven't received the keys through Gamzaver. I originally bought it through Buku – what a mess. There were activation issues, and even though I bought the deluxe version with all the extras, Buku didn't deliver. Despite my inquiries, they didn't respond. Now, Gamzaver is doing the same thing. What the heck is going on?!

Since you're only interested in Shades of Darkness, buy it here. If you need the bonuses, then go with the complete edition; I left the link. I assure you, you'll buy it, install the expansion, and you won't be able to stop playing.:smile20:

I don't know about everyone else, but I had problems with the Steam version. I pre-ordered it before the release date was changed. At that time, Might & Magic Heroes VI Shades of Darkness appeared in the list of games. A week after the date change, the game disappeared from the list. On the release day, the original Might & Magic Heroes VI appeared in the list. The second time I launched the game, it opened uPlay, where I entered the key that Steam offers when launching the game. Then the game launches through uPlay, with the uPlay username, not the Steam username. Although I have the collector's edition of the original linked to this Ubi account, the original game and everything that was on the account are missing in the game itself. There are only the two Shades of Darkness campaigns, the Prologue campaign (I haven't checked if the other campaigns open after completing it), and the pre-order bonuses. I'm currently reinstalling from the disc; let's see if it will work.
Карты для Heroes of Might and Magic V
Цикл "Закадычные враги": "Особенное гостеприимство, "Супероружие", "Меж молотом и наковальней"
"Падение Шантири"

Кампания для "Кодекса Войны"
"Выбор Сагиттеля"

Everything makes sense: in this case, the dynasty and the original game work, but "Shades of Darkness" does not, meaning the game versions are separated, as promised. It's just unclear why they are linked to the same account.

In the Bukovsky version, everything is combined.
All 4 games are in one package and launched from a single executable. And all campaigns are also on the same map.
I'm just waiting for them to finally send me a key so I can activate "Shades of Darkness". Otherwise, there is no separation.
Moreover, in Patch 2.1, new artifacts appear more often than others.
I've started playing "The Legend" while waiting for the key, and I found 3 Wind Sword amulets near the castle.

Has anyone bought keys from the gama-gama.ru website? I bought one on May 2nd, and it still says the key is invalid, even though I've bought from them before and everything was fine. Also, how do they provide keys, or other websites, if Buka distributes all of them? What's the point of having these websites then? Like Gamazaver, etc.
