- No help file available for the Editor? Hit F1 - Nothing, searched the install directory - no apparent help file for the editor found so far. But there is at least a small Manual for the game - Lovely! So we get an editor without dokumentation? Nice! Guess thats why they didn't create a shortcut for the Editor it in the first place ... and as long as there is no dokumentation, this Editor is even less userfriendly than that of Heroes 5. Tinkering with it for one and half an hour, and none of the landscape modeling tools show any apparent effect ... placing untis works, but its not that exiting if your map is a completly flat plane of whatever tileset you chose to start. At least some shortcuts for navigating the viewport are similar to Maya, Blender and other CG apps.

On Top, Game and Editor is way to dark for CRTs, you have to raise Gamma so high to be able to see something that all colours fade to more or less shades of white and grey.

LOL - finally found out how the modeling works. Case of the button is not the button but the thing that doesn't look like a button. Wild.

Don't know if it's steam not having the patch up yet or what but I'm getting the same crashing error that prevented me from playing the last beta build.

Editor looks... functional and less confusing than the H5 one but no help files... :<

It's not Steam. Mine will crash every time I try to try to play after logging in. And you have to have logged in once before you can play offline...

Is this after the patch?

As I stated in the other thread, I thought it went Gold mighty fast. While it is good the patch is available why wasn't it delayed a short time and fix it to 1.1. I know almost all game companies do it, but come on man release it when its ready.

When you are attacked side (ex. you are defending your castle) shortcuts for Defend and Wait buttons don't work.
I also miss Space Bar as Defend by default (I know it can be changed in Options but anyway...).

Synchronize savegames so far has always failed. Does this work for anybody? Do you need something besides a Uplay account to make this work?

Another, reported somewhere else bug:
Week of Fever: Only two third of growth for all Creatures... and also put all your unbought unit on minus (ex. you "can" buy -60k skeletons). You can't play game with no creature growth so this bug is game killing thing.

Sometimes my units won't recive any damage. Enemy can hit them but no numbers of how many damage he done to my creatures are displayed = no damage done at all.

@Fuddel : I'm working on a quick start guide for the editor. I'm late because of the trip to Igromir last week and me catching the flu this week, but it should be ready next week. Which should leave you enough time to play the game at least a little bit

Fuddelbaerentatze · Unread postby **Fuddelbaerentatze** » 13 Oct 2011, 22:48

@Marzhin: good to hear. Nonetheless I am at the moment mostly eager to use the editor, because I played the skirmish map in the demo over and over and over again the last weeks ...

Any word on the campaign editor, not to worry I am not holding my breath.

@Marzhin

Any word, from in-house, on those of us that cannot even play they game due to crashes at the splash screen? I've been checking a couple of forums (here and Ubi primarily), but no proposed theories seem to be working.

This "splash screen" bug is annoying as F#@k! I've been looking for a fix all day and found only one suggestion which didn't work! WTF!

WAY too confusing without at least a little bit of a manual.

I fooled around with it for about an hour before I gave up to wait for a manual to come out or some YouTube videos to be made.

There IS a manual found in the main game directory in the "support " folder..

I am pretty sure malgor was talking about the map editor documentation and game manuals do not help him.
