Can't install Might and Magic Heroes 6

[Banedon]

I formatted my computer a while ago and am now trying to reinstall MMH6. I reinstalled several of my other games based on the cloud, so I'm trying to do the same with MMH6.

Am I right to guess that the way to do this is via Uplay? I installed that, but it won't let me download MMH6, it only lets me download MMH6 - Shades of Darkness (which I didn't purchase). Furthermore the download keeps screwing up and I get the message "CRC error: The file ________Data18.orc doesn't match the file in the setup's .cab file. The medium you're running the setup from may be corrupted; contact your setup vendor."

It gives me three options to abort, retry or ignore. Retrying does nothing, ignoring results in the game "installing" but not booting up, and aborting tells Uplay the game failed to install. Uplay then lets me "verify" the files, and then it tells me that some files are corrupted / missing, and then it goes about redownloading them - except even after repairing the files it returns the same error.

Do I have to use the disk to reinstall? I haven't lost the disk, it's just not on hand.

For the Shades of Darkness thing, since patch 2.1 the base game is now called Shades of Darkness as well for who knows what reason. Even if you have only the base game installed, you still get all the loading screens etc from SoD. You still have only the base game playable.

I'm pretty sure I got the same error message when I installed the patch, at least some problem with the same file, but after I stopped the installation and restarted it, it worked just fine. Maybe you really should try using the disk.

OK so I got my disc, and now the game installs but refuses to update, says something like "gu.exe requested runtime to terminate"

Try to reinstall Ubisoft Launcher - I had an issue with that and reinstall worked... but later UPlay was down so I couldn't play anyway (as it's needed to first time game start).

1) What Windows OS do you use?
2) Since several patches ago, you can now re-download Heroes VI installer just fine, no need to look for your disk.

I'm using Windows 7 Home edition.

And @_@ it worked even though I didn't do anything, I just decided to try updating the game again one day and it just worked. Makes no sense.
