Just wondering if stability issues are fixed on this release

I bought the game a long time back - and I became a member of a forum about the issues I was having

Textures dissapearing and game suddenly stopping

Patches at the time did not seem to matter

Editing the cfg file helped until you changed the resolution and it would start again

I still get the odd email about this problem being as I posted to the forum and it updates me when a new person posts an issue

So just wondering if the stability is fixed and what Patch its using (last I heard 3.1)

Some also claimed installing all the patches at the same time fixed the issue (makes sense as the patch numbers differ if you just install the main game or install the main game + expansions.

Would be nice to know so I can install it again :-)

Link to forum that still lists this issue is here

I've played the GOG version for about five hours now and have not had a single problem. I dont know what patch version it is.

Hope this helps.

On the other hand AC has crashed on me twice since buying it but I've played about 12 hours so thats not bad at all.

1.6 (HoMM V) / 2.1 (HoF) / 3.1 (TotE)

That helps so cheers for the version numbers

Thanks also to the other respondent - yeah playing for that length is a good representation.

I dont think anyone knew what caused the bugs I mentioned before.

Some never experianced it - I never installed all the expansions, so I didnt test if that was the cause. I did however fix my own problem by locking the resolution and never changing it and editing the cfg file

Its all explained in the forum link, but I am just glad that issue is over as the engine looked sweet when I loaded it.

Cheers everyone

It depends. I sometimes have those issues, even with the full patched game, having bought the retail Collector's Edition some time ago. There are 2 significant bugs to mention: textures disappearing when you first enter the main screen (fixed by restarting the game) or in the middle of the game (fixed by changing the anti aliasing slider) and the fact that it ALWAYS crashes on the first load after starting a game.

I should probably get around to trying the GoG version, see if the same thing happens.
