'The Promise': Crashing

[cosmicsynch]

Okay, so...get all the way to the knight hero. Cap his ass. Then Veyer shows up, and I fight him. Only every time (and at different times in the game, at one point we were both almost down to dregs on units, and the other we'd only been fighting for about half that time) I crash to desktop.

ANy ideas? Is there something specific thatthe enemy AI might be trying to do that causes crashes in 1.4? Anyone else having this problem?

1.4 fixed the invisible boots of levitation from 'The Trap'...but now it appears to be maknig new problems...

Must be Veyer and his Gating...it's a bug in 1.4 (if you kill a gated stack, the game crashes to desktop).

AFAIK, it has no fix, so you'll need to downgrade to 1.3, wait for 1.5, or get the expansion pack.

Killing the gated stacks crashes my game too. It kind of ruins that campaign & the use of gating in particular.

The gate crash bug is well-known in v1.4, and if you're playing the H5 campaigns, the only way currently is downpatch to v1.3. Getting the expansion pack wont help at this moment, as you still need to run the campaigns from H5 disc, which will be v1.4. Sorry dude

Hmm. Is there a post somewhere that will tell me how to downgrade to 1.3? And will I lose my campaign progress if I do so?

No, you won't lose your progress, but you will have to restart your current scenario.

1) Uninstall Heroes, reinstall from scratch;
2) Download 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 (50 MB each) and apply them in order. Don't use auto-update as it will bring you to 1.4 again.

I just did it today and the game works fine (but I miss the paper doll).

Hmm. If I'm reinstalling from scratch, how do I not lose my campaign progress? Is there a cookie that doesn't get wiped during uninstall that tells the game what scenarios I've successfully completed?
