Patch 1.2 news
This was posted in the news on Celestial Heavens:
Nival developer "jackill-mf", who has been collecting Russian localization errors to be corrected in the second patch, has said on the Heroic Corner forums that the 1.2 patch for Heroes V will be built on Friday.
It is unknown how much time it will take to actually release the patch, but at least we know that it is near.
For those who speak Russian: Heroic Corner Post

Hopefully it comes soon.. It's what we have all been waiting for.
Atleast I haven't become bored of Heroes 5 yet.. I still play single player, but multiplayer will add to the fun.

This patch was supposed to be to us in June.... how is it that it is just now getting started on July 7th? And would it kill the company to communicate better with its customers keeping us updated on there time lines etc.

Hey,
- Well I have to agree here. IF Nival can't make the deadline by a few weeks, I think it would be the honest thing to just come clean and say so. I dont think it would scare of many in the homm-unity, and it would certainly pi$$ off less people if they just KNEW a bit more.

I have to agree
"good things may come to those that wait" but "the loudest bird gets the worm" and the hunger for gaming satisfaction must be met...I have posted on their "official" forum about our multiplayer dilemma and it seems communication is seemingly one way only.
If the 1.2 patch does not address the almost complete failure of the online faction of this wonderful game I will be "giving them what for!" in their chosen language...

(edit)ok... sorry it appears the forum has changed my attempt at Russian into weird garble...

Okay this is getting stupid now. June is gone and now July is almost half over and still no patch. These multimillion dollar companies need to invest a few bucks into a PR department... Hell I would pay someone to just get online and spend 3 mins posting something on the news section of there site saying..."hey fans, we havent forgotten you, we are working hard on the multi patch, its taking longer then previously predicted, but it is in the works. Estimated release is 2 weeks. If it changes we will keep you updated...thanks for being patient."
wait that took me only 52 secs to write. If I only had access to there site I would do it for them for free.
If I dont hear something soon or see the working patch soon, ebay gonna be seeing my game.

This is what happens when a company sets ideal dates for releasing patches and runs into problems and cannot deliver.
I still have fun playing single player.. but it sucks to see lots of players losing hope and similar to what Jinxer wrote... threaten to sell their game if a patch doesn't come soon.

Man & for months we been hearing about how they wanted our opinions.
They always kept us up to date.
WTF are they doing.
I agree it is not that hard at all to keep us up to date if they cant deliver on time.
I am sure yall are tired of hearing me saying Be Patient.
I cant say it anymore because we been patient enough.

Is it just me or...
Does anyone else have the same problem as I'm having playing Heroes 5 custom maps...The Only thing I'm able to chose is difficulty level and resource or gold....I can not select my color I can NOT select my race I can not select anything in the startup section.
Can anyone please help me with this or just say well we're all stuck in that mode which means out of the like 8 custom maps I can ONLY play 1 map as a necromancer.
Thanks

Is it doing this on the multiplayer maps also? There is a button on the top of the maps page that lets you select showing multiplayer maps. I think (I'm at work so i can't check right now.) the maps you are referring to are scenario maps and you are set with only being able to play specific colors and factions on them. BTW you choose single player mode when you do this.
As for the topic at hand... I'm just waiting for the patch... STILL. However, if multiplayer isn't at least mostly fixed when it comes out, I'm seriously thinking about looking into legal possibilities... this has class action suit written all over it and I don't even believe in lawsuits for the most part. The advertizing for the game lists a map editor included even. I'd understand and live with the crypt crash but the entire multiplayer portion being unplayable???

I am not sure what people say about multiplayer being unplayable... I have played lots of multiplayer games in ubi.com. Although definetily wouldn't mind having lot more maps for it, as for some reason can't even use all of the maps that come with the game in ubi.com.. like no Heritage or Warlords for example.

Have you been able to finish these games on a consistant basis? By that I mean play through a map completely to include battling your opponent beyond the first week? The rest of us haven't been able to other than a lucky game or two every once in a while. For the few games that did work for me, I played dozens of games that couldn't be finished. So that makes me wonder what version of the game you have and what else might be different for you.
As far as being able to play the other maps you mentioned, that is easy... you just need to go into one of the non-rated rooms and when you set up a game you will have access to the other maps.

If you can believe the forums...
You might have some interest in reading this thread on the official game page: Patch 1.2 Apparently it is being posted in the Russian Nival forum by the developers that the patch is being tested and may be availible soon... possibly even today. There is a link there to the actual forum post (in Russian) and it also says the the main aim of the patch is multiplayer and that the problem has been solved. I can't read or speak Russian so I naturally can't verify what was originally posted.
So get out your Four-Leaf Clovers folks... maybe just maybe we can finally get to playing soon.

I have been able to finish most 2 player games, though none of the ones with more people than that iirc. Many games have been played at the Land of Outcasts map though so they usually only take about a month or two, without rushing.
