Where does heroes HD saves the version?
I tried to install latest update RC7, but sth went wrong I guess. When I try again I can click update to RC7, but after a short loading it says I already have latest version (but I have RC6).
I completely deinstalled Heroes 3 and installed everything new with HD RC6 (RC7 is not avaible for download as exe). But again it says I have already latest version. So I'm not able to install RC7.
All in all the update process from HD is bugged... When I updated from RC4 to RC6 some days ago, it deleted some of my heroes files, at least I was not able to start heroes 3 HD, because of the error message, that some files are missing and I should reinstall..
So at the moment, everytime when I want to update, I have to reinstall everything... obviously the update only works with a new exe.
btw, since the barathor is also a hota member:
hota editor does not work. When double clicking it says:
ResourceManager::GetText could not find the "text" resource "editor.txt".
Fatal run-time error!
edit: starting the hota editor as adminstrator solves the problem... strange...
edit2:
moving the 3DO folder out of the "programs" folder of windows solves all problems with HD ! 
I can update without problems and starting hota editor and and and everything
So the program folder from windows is biggest rubbish on earth

*Bug report*
I've experienced a rather strange and serious bug in the current release '4.201 RC9'.
Bug description:
Sometimes when entering combat in a crypt, mouse and keyboard inputs are totally ignored, expect for moving the cursor. The game doesn't crash or stop. You can also still move the cursor around and hover over creatures to show extra info. But it's impossible to move, attack, defend, etc. It's impossible to continue the game at this point. The only way to leave the game is by using Task Manager to force close it as you cannot enter the in-game menu.
Technical details:
Simultaneous turns on, red vs. blue, HD+, Chess Timer, fullscreen with scaling options, save every day, otherwise default HD launcher settings.
Also, Windows 8.1 64 bit, both host and client.
Other details:
Played on Jebus Cross on huge map size, template edited to allow 255 maximum size.
Affected client:
The host. It happened two times with random intervals to the same PC and the game host. The first time it happened after 10 mins, the other time after 45 mins.
How to replicate issue:
Currently unknown, it seems random when it happens.

@hippox:
I'm not sure if barathor reads here frequently. The last time he wrote here it was an answer to my email-bugreport.
So to be sure, you could sent this bugreport to his email (found in HD Launcher "information" page)

Does anyone knows reason for "Map drawing error"?
I loaded the standard HotA map "Pirates Utopia" in hota editor and changed teams. Then we tried it with 4 human players in Multiplayer with simultan rounds.
All except me got a "Map drawing error" at a specific place of the map. All objects were invisible because of this error in a specific area. After everyone ended their turn the problem was gone for some minutes, but it came back. And finally the game crashed at one player with the Map drawing error...
Is there any map object known causing problems or simular?

Thanks. I will try this next time.
But can you explain why this bug did not occur at my pc? I also can play this map without problems in singleplayer.
And at my friends PCs are no problems with random maps.
So why is there a graphics mode problem in that specific map and not in the random maps?
Should I copy paste the map in their map directory first?

I wonder if HD mod can find a fix to the 88-108 ghost levels. An optimal way would be that when at 108, there is no longer experience gain. I find no way to do that with erm, the game internals go crazy when ghost levels.

I have no idea, maybe what I told you is only a workaround, but it fixed it for me.

No more additional Hero Info??
Hey again. Been a while. A Question: Why did additional hero info get taken away? I updated my HD Mod to the newest version to date, and now i can ONLY see the hero speciality when i'm choosing a hero and starting a new game. Why did all the info get taken away? I could see starting stacks, starting primary skills, starting secondary skills etc...

It's only available for random maps.
Any custom maps can have restrictions on the heroes and that can't be displayed.

First, big thanks for constantly improving the game! The new "buy all" screen is fantastic, like the whole mod.
Concerning "armorer bug":
I guess it was kept to maintain compatability to some SoD expert fan maps, which exploit the bug. I totally understand that, but it would be nice to have an option to fix the bug. I guess most time most players just want to have the bug fixed. So the bug could be fixed by default and for all other situations it could be activated again in the tweaks dialogue. Than everyone would be satisfied.
Concerning additional hero info only for random maps:
That's a pity. I really liked this new feature and I most times play scenarios. Would it be possible to have the program check whether a map changes standard heroes and if not show the additional hero info? Because I think most scenarios which come with Complete or Hota do not change the standard heroes, so the additional info would be accurate.
EDIT: For those who want to fix the "armorer bug" themselves: Here you can find a description how to do it. HD mod uses a SoD Heroes3.exe from the subfolder _HD3_Data. You can either edit this .exe directly. Then all .exes afterwards created with HD launcher will have the bug fixed. Or you edit an .exe produced with the launcher, then newly created .exes will have the bug again. By creating 2 .exes, one with fix, one without, you can everytime execute the version you want. Don't forget to save before editing

It creates a folder named after a map and stores all saves in it. At least for me.
