Sounds like alot of "fun"??

I downloaded the game to night, and can't wait for work to be done. But if there's a high possibility that the game will crash. -_- *sigh* Always something.

For those who have crash, did you :

1/ Uninstall the Beta or Demo and remove the local files in My Documents?

2/ Uninstall the Ubi Launcher ?

3/ Do a clean install of H6 after doing the aformentionned steps?

A friend of mine posted on Ubi forums that he detected some QT drivers installed in his PC were crashing the game.

His nick is Razor85 and this is his post :

I've done all 3 of the steps Marzhin listed and still can't on. Had a fleeting moment where it looked like it was going to work (the cursor changed!) before crashing yet again...

So players are the new betatesters now?

Now I am glad I didn't buy it and will wait for the purchase after devs do their friggin' work as they should do before. Smells like Nival....

Of course I am aware that testing is a hard work and some bugs may slip to the release, but it really looks terrible.

Redownload and disable firewal or av check if you have any. In my case I need to add exception to my Agnitum Outpoost Firewall. Without that I was getting corrupted files.

Yes, it was crc checksum bad error in one of the archives. -
CAB file wasn't extracted properly.
Redownloading with ubi download manager added exception to my firewall fixed it.

To get the game to work: Just DO THIS, DO THAT and everything in between! WTF? I'm not computer savvy enough to have to correct and edit things in Directories and the Registry … just to get an overpriced, piece of junk to work on my computer!

Why would/should anyone purchase a game that needs to be fixed by the buyer before it can even be played or launched?

A user-friendly, bug-free Map/Campaign Editor was one of MY requirements to be included with Heroes VI before I would buy it. Looks like UbiHole horribly failed this test too!

I haven't bought the game yet … and from what I've seen written here, it looks like I'm gonna stay as far away from Heroes VI as I can. NO THANKS UBI-HOLE! So far, all you've done is drag the name of Might and Magic through the mud.

For many people game worked out of the box.

You may consider:
+ certain MM atmosphere
+ online motivational system
+ scenery
+ pretty graphics (if you have right hw)
+ text boxes, campaigns with videos, which is well done
+ funny squeeking sounds

- lenghty, really, slow gameplay due to full 3D world
- online motivational system
- hardware requirements
- difficult map editor (probably not if you know at least basically 3DS Max or any similar sort of sw)

Well, the launch, technical support... is 'Ubi' mastered.

Knowing you, I would wait until they add some 'friendly' faction, like Elves. And some maps only with lore

That's the HP I know, tell us how you really feel.

As it stands right now I to am staying away, I doubt they care though.

Obviously for many it hasn't. All of the different configurations of PCs has been a challenge to game producers for a long time, but after the beta testing that was done, I thought then and now the game went Gold far too quickly. This had the appearance of a cash grab. They could have waited a week or two and fixed more of the compatibility issues.

Pol wrote: - difficult map editor (probably not if you know at least basically 3DS Max or any similar sort of sw)

If this is true, that the editor is difficult and not H-IV like then I am done with Heroes. I don't even know what 3DS Max is.

just to let you guys now, i got the game to work !

, i only needed to connect an old dvd rom player (as external with usb) that wasn't as fuzzy with bad writen disc's as my new one was to instal the game to my pc (slow but he did it)...

The game itself (if you are able to instal it :p ) is pretty good, much better than 5, and as an old time fan i highly recommend you give the game a try

You will always get this sort of editor in today 3D games. Many functions many buttons. 3DS is a modeler program

On a plus side it looks easier than editor for KB:Crossworlds.

Any words about patch 1.2? I hope we don't have same situation like in HV, when patches were always too late and they had problems with fixing reported bugs.

That's good I guess as I have no knowledge of the Crossworlds editor. The editor must be user friendly otherwise the pool of map creators will be smaller than it could/should be. Hey if UBI doesn't care then I guess I shouldn't either; since your inital comment on it being difficult to use has pretty much made my mind up.

The Quickstart Guide to the Scenario Editor is online: http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/gamesites/mi ... _Guide.pdf

It explains the basic tools needed to do a MP map.

I'm now working on the next guide that will focus on the storytelling tools (how to make a quest, text boxes, events on the map, dialog scenes, etc.)

It is excellent you are putting together these guides, they will be an enormous help to the mapmakers. Alas without a campaign editor; your guides will be as close as I get to seeing/using the editor.

Where are the "new maps" included in the patch?
