I can't install ANY patch because it doesn't even ASK for the installation location. I've tried a bunch of patches, all without success, and with the same problem – it doesn't display the installation location for the patch, and in the end, there's an error (not verbatim) saying, "The patch was not installed because the game is not installed. Install the game and then the patch." I'm playing a pirated version (v1.0). If you can explain what to do, write to me on Skype: cmeptb_xd or VK: vk.com/id123993522.

Sure, I can help with that. Patches are not installed on pirated versions in the first place; you need to install the original game, and everything will be fine.

A patch is an archive. It simply unpacks and overwrites files.
You can look in the default folder in Program Files and copy the unpacked files to the game folder, replacing the existing files.
BUT

Then the game will become a licensed version, and you'll have to crack it again (the .exe file will be replaced). It's easier to get an already patched version ;)
Use a licensed version ;)

Hey, I don't know if this question has been asked before, but considering how many posts there are, I won't be able to read them all. Is there a way to disable the turn timer during combat? Heroes 5 and Heroes 5: Hammers of Fate. Thanks in advance.

zabuza, yes, you can. In the game settings, under "battle," you'll find the turn time. (But this won't disable the timer in the campaign for some missions, which is strange, by the way. I think it's the scripts causing the issue).

Hello! I have Windows 8 and a licensed copy of Heroes 5 Gold Edition. When I launch the game, the image appears in a reddish-burgundy color and everything is doubled. However, it used to work fine with this version of the operating system. I have the latest version of DirectX installed... Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Thank you in advance for any response! PS: Game version 1.60

I suspect that you are running the game in some kind of 3D mode that requires red-blue 3D glasses. I'm not sure if this is a Windows or graphics card setting, but I would try playing around with both to disable it.

I remember seeing a similar setting in the Geforce driver settings; it's likely that one.

Hello, gentlemen. How can I enable the option to choose towns and heroes when creating a map in the game itself (Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East)? Please advise!

There was a special checkbox somewhere. Something like "Random races" or something like that... You need to uncheck it, and lists with factions will become available. I might be wrong, but I can't check it right now, sorry.

And is it true that many features that were in The Restoration of Erathia were cut in patch 3.1? (I'm referring to the example with the Adept – they say there were additional spells...). And another question: if I have my mod installed, but I play online with someone who doesn't have it, will the game really not allow us to play? Or will there be imbalances in the abilities?

Some overpowered units were nerfed. I don't know what changed for the Adepts, but overall it's better now...

Most likely, the game won't even start. At best, expect very rapid desynchronization.

What is ghost mode, and what are its features?

This is a mode where you can harm your opponent not only during your turn but also during their turn. However, I personally have never seen or heard of anyone playing in this mode.
