Question about runic magic

Hi all !

I am not sure, but I think, my runic magic dosen't work. My runes are unuseable. It seems like they were already used. (I can't use even the new ones!) What could be the problem?

Thank you in advance !

If you have HoF version 2.1, then you have the rune bug...which (I hope) will be fixed in the next patch. Nothing you can do in that case...sorry.

If you have 2.0, make sure you have enough resources to use the runes and that you meet any additional conditions they may require (for example, the rune of Berserking can only be used on a stack that has lost at least one troop).

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your quick reply !
Strange that an "emergency patch" 2.2 hasn't followed the 2.1 patch though.

There are never emergency patches...The one that made a simple fix on the gating bug and somesuch took about two months to be released

The story behind non-working runes is as follows.
First, Nival released HoF 2.1 patch for every language but Russian. Russian patch for some reason was delayed for 2 weeks.
Then the Russian patch was released. It contained the runes bug which you already know about.
Then somebody made a NoDVD patch for all languages out of that bugged Russian version.
Then Nival released a Russian-only hotfix which corrected the rune problem. Of course, no one bothered to remake the NoDVD.
The conclusion: don't use hacks

Gotcha Boodler!! Downloading illegal copies is BAD.

The reason is well known. Russian EXE doesnt have any kind of protection system and its CD check can be bypassed even with such mediate assembler skills as mine. Find required API inquiry to CD drive
and modify its return results (or code that handles them). About 4-6 bytes to change.
And all US and European versions are protected with Securom, cracking which - is real pain in the arse.
