The Heroes Round Table

Here's a suggestion , start playing online multiplayer.. Ofcourse you'll get your ass kicked at first but you'll learn with time.. :hoo: /lurk mode off That doesn't have to be the case. When i started playing online mp i won most of the games without much trouble. Played about 70 games and i have a...

So basically the same strategy can be applied with different troops to achieve the same effect, ok. To be honest i was hoping for a different approach, anyone?

We all know how to take out a dragon utopia early on wtih heaven troops, but is there another trick to do it with another faction?

I send a message to Ubi to ask for assistance, I also give them my dxdiag.txt. But for now I don't have any answer... Do you know if they answer efficiently ? They DO NOT answer. I'm still waiting for an answer to a problem i solved in the meantime, but it's been more than a week without a reply fr...

It was a fresh install and didn't have much on it anyway.

New development: After reinstalling windows everything went great as far as the game goes, but as soon as i installed kaspersky, the problem manifested again. So there you have it heroes V doesn't start if you have kaspersky 6 installed. No kaspersky (uninstall, it doesn't work if you just switch it...

With artillery like that i doubt they had any losses at all. I bet that hero has ressurection as well.

Could you be a little more specific? Your post doesn't say much.

Anyway you can always replay the scenario.

You could not ask for a better obstacle setup when fighting griffins.

Just to udate you all, the problem is solved. All it took was reinstalling windows.
Big thanks to everyone that replied and tried to help, it's appreciated.

Special thanks to cornellian.

The whole experience has tought me one thing: you can't count on ubi for support.

I didn't realise it was that serious. Now that you clarified a few things for me i seem to remember reading a post on the official forums where somebody wrote that they solved their problem by geting a new kernel from ubi, is it safe to replace my kernel with that one (if i can still find it)? Anywa...

@cornellian, thanks for the advice. I'll try to give you as much as possible here:

error signature:

AppName: h5_game.exe
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2945
AppVer: 1.3.0.34
ModName: kernel32.dll

If i'm interpreting your info correctly kernel32.dll is causing the problem, right?

I can't make out anything useful in here but here it is, so maybe you can spot the problem here:

edit (long tech post was removed)

Oh, and the editor works perfectly if anyone is wondering.

If you have Norton Antivirus or Firewall installed, try disabling them during installation. Otherwise, go into MSConfig and disable all services at startup - then restart - and try to install. You're not geting the point, the game installs just fine and the patches too, no problems whatsoever durin...

Latest video driver installed, downloaded yesterday from the official source.

Did the 1.0 work? None of them worked and i tested each one individually. Sorry for the double post. Anyway i figured out how to get my dxdiag, and here it is: ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 9/15/2006, 17:55:49 Machine name: RADULE Operating System: Wi...

I posted my question here as well. Thanks for the advice. I'll let you guys know if they find a solution.

Ketzal wrote:I would try uninstalling everything then re-installing just the 1.0 version (the game without patches). If that works, then apply the patches one at a time testing the game after each patch.

I already tried doing exactly what you just said, no success.

Ubi doesn't have a support contact in my country and international phone calls are very expensive.

Someone posted here that the 2nd patch needs the 1st one installed to work properly. I guess that means the 3rd one needs the 1st 2. Anyway it doesn't hurt to install all 3 in order. The confusing thing is they're all roughly the same size (around 50 mb), so it looks like it's the same thing only sl...
