Important Info
If you want to install this patch, you need to install patch 1.5 first.
Note: Some fixes will only be visible in the game after creating a new profile. If you want to save your old profile and add new features to it, you need to copy Input.cfg file from default profile game directory (profiles\default_profile) to directory, where your active profile can be found (My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Profiles\You_Profile_Name).
Saves made in previous versions are not fully compatible with game v.1.5. It is recommended to restart the map to continue playing a saved campaign game.
To continue playing saved multiplayer or single scenario games, you may need to restart the program at the end of the mission.
