Posts from Heroes 5 on a tablet.
placed 5 heroes on a Windows tablet, the game launches, but after the map loads and it prompts "press any key," there is no response to either the on-screen keyboard or the touchscreen.
And for you, it works just by clicking with the mouse, and everything is okay???!!
Can you just click with the mouse and everything works fine???!!
Yes, just a mouse click. The game is quite old and wasn't designed for tablets, so there's no point in tapping the screen with your fingers. You need external devices: a mouse, a keyboard.
Otherwise, I'll have to buy a keyboard or mouse...
The question arises: why doesn't the on-screen keyboard work, and is it possible to tweak something in the configuration files?
The on-screen keyboard doesn't exactly not work. It just doesn't work in the case you described – it prevents starting a new map. Inside the game, it works, but not fully. You can type names for saves and replays, although it's very inconvenient. As for using it as hotkeys in the game, I haven't tried; I simply find it hard to imagine this acrobatic feat. As I already wrote, the mouse is quite sufficient. The interface is well designed for it. Regarding config files, I would also like to know what can be changed.
I installed the app on my tablet and Windows Phone and turned my phone into a mouse:smile04:. It didn't work for Heroes 5, but out of curiosity, I installed Heroes 6, and not only did the tablet handle it, but the phone also worked perfectly as a mouse:smile03:. So, I'm playing them now and not worrying about it:smile03:.

And regarding your question: in the game folder (or in My Documents) in the "profiles" folder, there are two config files. Have you tried opening them with WordPad and searching for "mouse," "sense," etc.?
I really need to install them on the tablet. What is required for this? Should I flash the tablet to a different operating system? Or will the performance drop and they won't run? Or are there any programs that can be used to run them? Please, I really need this!
