The hotkeys (Ctrl+click, Alt+click, etc.) have stopped working!!!

Moreover, even when reverting to the old version, there are still major glitches – the buttons for transferring artifacts and units are missing, etc. My game is ruined; I managed to pull myself out of a terrible situation and gain a significant advantage over my opponent in the late game, and now... thank you very much for YOUR MEGA UPDATES! (((((((((((((((((((((((

It's a pity that instead of a constructive report, it's just emotions.
You can help to figure out the situation:
Launch the game, make sure that the shortcomings you described are present, press the key combination [CTRL]+[ALT]+[SHIFT]+[DEL]
after the error message appears, send me the HD_CRASH_LOG.TXT file and the \_HD3_Data\Settings\sod.ini file
and tell me which version you updated from to the latest.

I could do this: release a beta version first, wait for it to be tested, and then, if the result is positive, release it as a final release.
BUT! None of the tournament players will download the beta version. And in general, only a few enthusiasts far from competitive play will test it. Thus, development and bug fixing will slow down many times over. I doubt that HD would ever get out of beta.
But as it is, the number of involuntary testers and the testers themselves is such that feedback and bug detection are very fast.

However, I wouldn't release an update if I wasn't sure it was working properly. I installed 3.716 and 3.804 from scratch, then updated them to 3.805, and did this in Win XP, 7, 8.1, Linux Ubuntu 12.04 + Wine 1.6.1, Linux Ubuntu 14.04 + Wine 1.7.2. I can even record a video of this process and then demonstrate that what =Lizard= described is not observed.

It would be very good if someone else would comment on how 3.805 is working.

Everything works perfectly. There was only one crash during the loading screen.

I did a clean install of 3.716 and 3.804, then updated them to 3.805, and I did this in Win XP.
Lucky you :D. I get a "connection error" when I try to update.

In that case, you can just download the full version.

Also, try changing this in _HD3_.ini:
< UpdateServer > = "https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/files", "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56675299/HD35_Update"
to

what's the difference between the second link and the new one you suggested?

Yeah, I figured that out :D It will definitely be easier that way.

It seems like everything is working except for the autosave feature. I updated from the previous version. I'm using Windows XP. How do I enable it? ? Neither 0 nor 1 works.

P.S. It would be more convenient to have a checkbox, for example, next to HD+.

Added after 1 hour 59 minutes
I reinstalled the mod, but the autosave still doesn't work.
In the previous version, passwords.txt wasn't generated; now it is, could it be related?

In the new version, all the buttons returned to their original positions, and the hotkeys started working again, thank you. No special settings were required for this.

Update to version 3.806 is now available
At this moment, only version 3.805 is available on the website and through the launcher update. Is this the version without the autosave feature, or is it already the corrected version?

[+] Now, spell scrolls (in the hero's inventory) are displayed with spell icons (UI.SpellScroll.Extended tweak).

Could this also be done in one turn? (I have no idea how difficult it would be to implement.)

So that the cost for upgrading is calculated.

I can't seem to find the options for customizing hotkeys; everything was reset after the update. Kind people, please help!

3.808 beta 1 Update

[+] Added support (automatic detection) for English SoD 3.0
[+] The tooltip for a visited university now lists the skills available there.

[+] Added a new 32-bit True (stretchable) Nx renderer, which includes new image scaling filters - xBRZ and UltraSaI (modified, improved SuperSaI) as a less high-quality but faster alternative to xBRZ.
The greater the scaling (the closer to 2x), the higher the image quality (compared to the bilinear filter).
These filters are much more demanding on computer performance (CPU speed and RAM) than bilinear.
The < Graphics.Nx.Threads > tweak determines how many threads the filters will use for calculations. The default value is the maximum - 8 (however, the number of threads that will actually be used is limited by the number of cores in the processor (more precisely, the number of virtual processors in the system). Reducing this value can reduce the load on the processor, but at the expense of reducing the filtering speed.

This is a beta release because the project was compiled in a new VC++ 2013 express environment for me (instead of VC++ 2008 express previously), and there wasn't enough time for testing.

Direct link (the update is installed manually on 3.807, rollback is possible)

I would like to hear feedback on how the new filters work on different computer configurations.
