Bug in Academy Mission 3 (Triumvirate) ???

[Bratacc]

I play HOMM 5 with Windows 7, patched to V1.6. Anything is wonderful, found and freed Godric, captured all 4 towns, found Findan. Untill I challenge Markal at the end of the Scenario. No Problem to survive all three fights and kill him. Then comes a cut-scene and after the video the Message "Misson Accomplished" and the game crashes.

Well that's certainly annoying.
Does heroes 5 crash on a regular basis or just that one time?
Otherwise try figuring out what can be the cause of it (mods for example) and try again (I hope you saved before the last battle) or replay the mission.

It´s only at this point when the game crashes. I started the mission, patched then to 1.6 and finished it after patching. I restart the mission and hope for the best.

Which reminds of this problem when I have installed TotE, don't remember the name of the map, but in it you are playing with Markal and the objective is to collect 1 000 skellies, 10 Bone Dragons, to transform the Academy cities into Necropolis etc. So, at the end of the map you have to reach Cyrus's castle, where he is "locked in", and storm it, from where he should flee. Problem is that Cyrus is not staying in the castle and instead of that is running like freaking insane around the map, attacking me, which causes me to defeat him, so when I reach his castle he is nowhere around the map so he could escape and then the map STUCKS. Or at least I think this is why the map stucks. Any idea if this bug was fixed and with what mod or whatever?

[Mirez]

Same for you, replay the map, otherwise skip it

[parcaleste]

It doesn't worked out with replaying and don't you think skipping is not a real option?

You can download an 'all missions unlocked' mod... somewhere. Or ask someone to provide you a savegame, or use cheats.
