hero # (counting from zero) is missing
How to fix this?

Hey, can anyone tell me how to launch/switch this game to windowed mode?
Ctrl+Enter, Alt+Enter don't work.

While the computer is in the game, on the large map, it takes several minutes to take a turn. I want to be able to switch to other windows and do things while the computer is taking its turn in the game...

Hello! If anyone knows, please advise – in Heroes V of any version (I’ve tried 5 different ones, from Gold Edition to NCF with the latest patches), when attempting to load any map, i.e., scenario, approximately one-third of the maps launch normally, while the rest crash. Campaigns work normally. I am using Windows 7 64bit.

Do larger maps, in terms of size and content, cause crashes? Are they standard maps or downloaded from the internet? If they are downloaded from the internet, do other people who have downloaded these maps experience similar problems?

Do larger maps, in terms of size or content, crash the game more often? Are these standard maps or downloaded from the internet? If they are downloaded, do other people who have downloaded these maps experience similar problems?

Thank you for your response! The issue is that I don't see any pattern – all maps crash the game. Both small and large maps, as well as maps from the internet and the default maps, crash. Approximately 30% of the maps load, while 70% do not. I've read through the sections here about the problems that other people have experienced, but I haven't found anything that matches this specific issue.

Perhaps you have many mods, and the maps are conflicting with them? Or they contain mods themselves and are conflicting with each other...
If you list a few maps, even just as an example, showing which ones work and which ones don't, it might be easier to find the problem.

Colleagues, regarding running the game in a window: google the program DXWnd — it's simply an epic tool with hundreds of settings (though you'll have to spend some time configuring it and figuring out how it works). You can run Heroes in a window, and most importantly! — the game will remain active even while in the background if you switch to a browser, for example, while the computer is taking its long turns in-game.
Usually, games pause if you Alt+Tab to another window.
(I'm writing this post right now, and there, in the background beyond the browser, the computer in Heroes is making its moves on a huge map!)

There is also a program called D3DWindower — but it isn't as flexible; it's very simple and has own unfixable/unconfigurable glitches.

-yes, you just need to use the process of elimination, gradually removing maps and mods from the Mods\Maps folders — and at a certain point, the glitches will disappear, and the culprit will be identified. The thing here is that any user-made (amateur) map can (is allowed to) change or disrupt the normal operation of the game.

Folks, here is the link to the DXWnd program, with a googled help file (English) included:

I solved the problem with Heroes V – I deleted all the mods and moved all the maps to a separate folder, then copied them one by one from that folder to the game's "Maps" folder. I couldn't pinpoint which specific maps were causing the issue, but now several maps that previously wouldn't launch are working properly.

Thanks to everyone who responded!

Hello everyone! Could you please tell me why I can't purchase a Heroes license in the site's store? Both provided websites say that the game is not available...

Good afternoon to everyone! Could you please tell me why I can't buy a Heroes license in the site's store? Both provided sites say that the game is not available...

Maybe because the promotion is over :)

You can buy it on Steam
http://store.steampowered.com/app/15170/?snr=1_5_9__412

Install a Russian language pack, and you're good to go - you can play.

Thank you, I already figured it out:smile26: I already bought it from another online store... Now I can't install it... what a problem...:smile05:

Please tell me, what does error 0.7.0 mean?

Could you please explain what error 0.7.0 means?

Does this error appear during installation or when connecting to the Ubi.com server?

When trying to log in to the Ubisoft game...

When trying to access the game through Ubi...

If you're trying to play the game, they've already shut down the online multiplayer for Ubi.

What online games can I play?
