Heroes 2 PoL Problem

Unread postby Azhren » 06 Oct 2007, 09:49

In Corruption's Heart (Scenario 8), I have 1 Necro castle to take over, but I can't enter it to attack. The cursor doesn't change to the sword, just stays as the horse movement icon.

How can I fix this?

Have you tried moving into the castle using the arrow keys?

You're not the first person to report this, though I don't remember having experienced the bug when I played that map years ago.

Smells like a nasty save game corruption :(
Try to get a H2 save game editor...

replayed all the scenario all over..
still the same problem (that's allways the same necro castle)... I even tried letting an enemy hero enter and stay in the castle before attacking but to no avail.. the battle happens in dirt ground :S
does anyone know where to find a save game editor?
or any other solution?

btw.. I also fought against alamar in the bottom left corner, and vanquished all other opponents... maybe this interferes with winning the game?

Ok. So map files are identical, I finished it with cheats, and nothing similar happened, but in your save game I see that bug.
I think the source of the problem might be some error in the program that: incorrectly creates game from ready map, or incorrectly saves it, or there is some issue that comes up after particular player's action on the map.

I would ask you to give me your save games before last map starts. Its
POL_6.GXC or POL_7.GXC. Then I could say for sure.
Also, tell me the size of your heroes2w.exe or heroes2.exe files.
