"The Refugees"
In the first mission of the Sylvan campaign, I've run into the bug described in the "Bug-list" : The red player, Biara, never shows up, no matter how many times I restart or reload... I've tried loading, not loading, saving, not saving, restarting several times... Nothing works!
So I'm stuck!! And pretty annoyed...
Is this problem going to be fixed in a patch 1.4 or what? Because I would be really sad to own a 6 campaign game, with only 4 campaigns possible to play...!!
Does anyone know about a possible patch 1.4 or does anyone have other ideas for me...? I'm dying to move on with the game, I'm looking forward to maybe some day being able to play the Academy campaign...!

Thank you for the answers!
Unfortunately, I don't know anyone else, who plays HOMM, and I certainly don't posses technical insight enough to use the cheat, I've been reading about in here... I'm a computer simpleton!
And that brings me to my next question; if I re-install the game, and only download patches 1.1 and 1.2, will my saves get deleted, so I'll have to start all over again from the Haven campaign, or what...?
Please help a "damsel in distress"

I just had a run on patch 1.3 heroic, and everything proceeded normal although I loaded the game probably more than 20 times.
In case you want a save just at the end of this mission, here you go (this is my save):
https://www.celestialheavens.com/featur ... save_4.sav
(To save up web space I will delete this file after 48 hours.)

Damn!! I uninstalled, reinstalled and stopped at patch 1.1, and then at 1.2.maltz wrote:So I take that you are playing on patch 1.3? You are not the first 1.3 user who had no Biara.
1.1 and. 1.2 used to work for me. Try reinstall and stop at patch 1.2, just for this mission.
Still no Biara...! So I'm too dumb to use peoples saves and not using patch 1.3 doesn't work... I'm REALLY on the edge of my nerves here...!!
Put that save file in:
My Documents/My Games/Heroes of Might and Magic V/Profiles/(Your Profile Name)/Saves/
And you should be able to find the link to My Documents just on your Start panel (or C:\Document and Settings\(Your user name)\)
This save file is made in patch 1.3, so you will need patch 1.3 to run it.

Ok, thanks, I've done exactly as you described...
But I can't access the file from the game...? Am I not supposed to be able to "load game", and then load your file...? I can't, eventhough I've saved it under several names, tried replacing some already saved files or just saved under a new name... I still can't load it in the game...
So I'm still no closer to moving on from that ¤&%#/Q mission...
I'm really sorry to be such a pain in the...!

Ok from what I understand go campains in the main menu, and choose the next campain in order from where you are. So that would mean clicking campains, (whatever main campain you were on), then selecting the next one after..if this does not work I am sorry ....oops forgot a step..
Single player, campains, the main campain you were on, the next one after the one you were stuck on.
Note you will have his skills he, ect not yours . Just so you know.

Hi!
And thanks for helping me.
I'v already tried selecting the next mission, but it's not availabel...
Unfortunately, because that would be the best solution, so I wouldn't have to play the same stupid mission again for the 117th time, but could go on to mission number 2... I'm REALLY looking foreward to that after spending more time trying to fix this problem than actually playing...!
Nival : Give us your money, and we'll give you a headache... LOL

To make sure you got the right directory, move your existing saves to another place to see if you can still load them.
Also, I think you need to restart the game to have the game recognize new save files.
Another possible operation is to temporarily overwrite your Campaign.sav with mine (which has C5M2 activated). This file stores all characters' information, and campaign progress. It goes to the same save directory.
https://www.celestialheavens.com/featur ... mpaign.sav
But you better make a back up of your own campaign.sav. After overwriting with mine, start a game in C5M2, and save it. Then, overwrite your campaign.sav back, and load your C5M2 save. You will have my Findan, but keep all other characters that you built.

Hi again...
I really appreciate everything everyone has done to help me…! So thanks.
And I know that this is going to sound stupid, but:
I’ve now officially done everything that has been suggested in here… And nothing works! I even tried overwriting the “Campaign.sav”-file as described, I did it correctly… And nothing!
So I guess I’m just going to have to put my HOMM V away until there’s a patch 1.4 released, or a miracle happens…
I’m the saddest little HOMM-player in the world…!
