Game crashes

plindhag · Unread postby **plindhag** » 28 Dec 2006, 00:53

I have Heroes 5 installed with patch 1.4. I have the latest nvidia drivers and directx installed. Any time I gate in some monsters and they are killed, the game crashes to the desktop. I have also found the same thing happening when I have used the phantom spell and those are killed. Anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums, plindhag!

(little habit of welcoming new members...this IS your first post after all

...but you joined Jan. 6?)

Um, as for the question, if I'm not mistaken...it's a bug (i have the expansion pack and haven't played Inferno yet, but I've heard others talking about this bug).

I'm not sure if it applies to version 2.0 as well, but yes, it's a bug. The only thing you can do is wait for an update, sorry.

In the meantime, try reinstalling and patching up to 1.3.

Quite logical isn't it! I got flamed majorly on the ubisoft forums for suggesting the same thing. The posters in question wanted to wait for Nival to fix it rather than do what I suggested. But guess what, It's past Christmas and no 1.5.

Ah, yes, I forgot that reinstalling is an option, although one that doesn't seem very appealing to the lazy gamer I am.

I switched to the Hammers of Fate campaign instead.

Angelspit it's nice to see that you're orc is back to normal. That Christmas stuff was disturbing.

I see you were lazy enough to install Hammers of Fate

Thanks to all for your replies. Am I understanding that HoF seems to fix this bug? If I get it and install HoF, do I have to start over with the campaigns? Again, thanks.

You won't be able to play original H5 campaigns in HoF, but you can play HoF campaigns while Ubi/Nival fix the crashing issue in the original H5 .

Howdy, newbie signing in!

I'm experiencing the same thing during the battles against Biara (Academy campaing --> Zehir's Hope...patch 1.4, no HoF): Right after I release one pack of those summoned creatures from their misery, the game crashes. The same thing seems to happen also almost every time I enter Biara's fortress (w/Angel or Imperial Griffin battle dive)...

...and it's really annoying. I want to get this game wrapped!

Would this be the same bug doing what it does best? Anyone noticed same thing?

And are the above mentioned tricks (wait for 1.5, reinstall + --> patch 1.3, or HoF) the only options?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, as of now, they are the only options. May the next patch come quickly!
