Uhm ya, but what about LAN? You have to be Online with an legit account I guess? I mean, I wouldn't be shocked since it's Ubitrash afterall.

Also there is some kind of karma system (tears/blood). And i have a question for that.
I now had two possiblites where i could have chosen to slay some npc for blood points, or help him for tear points. But could always only select the rescue option? Sad The evil option is always greyed out, wtf? ;(

1.1 Patch released
517MB
Run Game.Exe or download from http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/patches/HOMM6/hmm6_digital_1.1_efigs.exe

But...The cursor is still flashing and the game is horribly jerky/laggy.

IntKeys said they're going to try and get it in for release day.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to unlock the camera from following the hero? GOD that's annoying, panning the camera to survey an area and having it snap back to the hero when you initiate a command. Oh and is the CONFLUX/Dynasty actually useful for SP, or is MP only?

~edit~

I guess I found my own answer. Without access to your Dynasty; you play the game at a distinct disadvantage, as you lose access to powerful weaponry/artefacts/armour - not to mention helpful boons at the start of any campaign mission. That's actually rather disgusting of Ubisoft to be honest; connect to our servers or you lose a significant portion of the game.

*sigh*

I'm having to "deal" with the flickering mouse cursor too, as without vsync the game renders over 120fps... and that's why my card is running 100% Laughing I was wondering why this game was baking my card (84C with 80% fan Shocked) and then I enabled vsync and GPU utilisation dropped to 47% -- significantly lowering temperature.

Did they actually make any effort this time to make it a AAA title? Especially the cutscenes in HOMM5 were really bad (no lipsync, childish etc).


I can answer this now; the game certainly looks and feels like a AA title (notice the lack of one A? At least it's not as bad as Spellforce, that's for sure) but there are still some issues with it... not least of which is really poor voice acting in places. The lip-sync DOES look accurate though.

Heroes VI > King's Bounty?

I just got out of being sucked into King's Bounty for the 9000 hours it takes to finish King's Bounty, and I don't want to d/l this to find it's subpar.

I liked Heroes V, but just alright.

That part sucked due to me being rather new at this so I had only sentinels left, you get a few orcs and can rescue marksmen (That undead necropolis down under.) but since creatures grow stronger each week I took a gamble and just managed to clear everything but the necropolis and end fortress out but had less than 10 sentinels.

I chanced in the fact I'd imagine the tutorial being a bit more static so I returned to the city and waited for about 3 years and then recruited these 700+ sentinels and simply crushed that last base without any effort whatsoever.
(About 200 died due to one of the enemy stacks being around 200 units, killed those with my sentinels and most others with the hero attack move.)

Second map works better since you can build and upgrade the three basic units for Haven or what their name is now. Razz
(Sentinel, Crossbowman and "Priest" what that units name was again, don't remember now.)

(Don't attack the necropolis after this as they'd have around 1000 units in there by then most being rather strong.)

Seems much better than homm5 but looks like ass. Needs anti alasing badly and forcing it with ATI just creates gfx artifacts.

What about MLAA or that FXAA .dll override?
(Both should function quite well with this game, I'll probably test it myself shortly.)

Skidrow crack. Which basically tells me im offline as soon as i get to the menu. So in other words it probably works just like /offline.

Regardless of whether you're using the Skidrow crack or the Ubi /offline launcher thingy, you won't get access to ANY of the dynasty equipment, heroes, or perks. Major fail.

As for the game itself, three things....

-How the FLYING FUCK am I meant to keep my "Sisters" alive? If a mob so much looks in their direction, they bend over, hike up their skirts, take it, and fall the fuck over dead. I've tried the Guardian Angel shielding, I've tried the Praetorian shielding, nothing works. What the fuck is the point of healers in this game if they only get 2 heals per battle, and those two heals have to be wasted on keeping THEMSELVES alive?

-Recruitment is WAY too fucking slow, even with captured barracks bonuses. On the second mission, once you capture a certain something, an army of RAPE comes. If you happen to get stuck outside the walls when it intercepts you, you'll most likely wipe your major force (assuming you didn't build it up to major numbers before you triggered the trigger). At this point, it's game over, as by the time you get a sizable enough force built up again, the rape army has rebuilt IT'S force.

- If you retreat in the middle of the battle, even if you whittled down the enemy to 10% of their initial massive horde, YOU lose 25% of your remaining forces, while the ENEMY forces leave the battle at full strength, as if it never happened. That's fucked up.

I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Sorry for being unclear, ATI 5000 series and up (Was a bit unclear here as well since I don't know what hardware you use.) allow a AA mode called MLAA as a variant of post-processing anti-aliasing.

It's compatible with most anything and comparable to 4x MSAA but with a light blur effect, FXAA works in a similar way and the thread for that can be found here - http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67260 - with that you'd want the beta 10 version - http://www.multiupload.com/AVM2MG5VWT - and then just place shader.fx and Fxaa3_11.h and d3d9.dll in the game folder and press the pause key (Usually next to scroll lock and prt scrn on the keyboard.) when ingame to toggle the effect on. Smile
(It might sound complicated but it's very easy.)

bitching about dinasty not availible is like having sc2 cracked and complain that you canot play on battlenet.
deal with it, stop crying.

-How the FLYING FUCK am I meant to keep my "Sisters" alive?
adapt.
i use them as a meath shield distraction, the whole enemy army is attacking them. ai is dumb.

agreed about recruitment.
i had to lower on norml dificulty from the highest. i presume if i had acces to the conflux portal near the second fort, you could have some advantages in battle. but i dont know what conflux is doing.

anyway, i may buy this when / if they patch cursor flickering, and 100% usage of gfx when vsync is not enable.

Uhm, no. It's not just dynasty weapons. It's also heroes and traits etc. It's quite a few features not being available.

Plus, the crack does nothing considering you can start the game just as good by doing the /offline thing. So errr ??
