After a few hours of gameplay im noticing more and more common crashes.

Also my latest game save somehow got corrupted and doesn't load heroes with units only cities and outposts are visible. No income + no progress for Sorcerer King visible at turn 87. After playing one turn game crashes. The game is highly unstable.

Total dissapoitment at the moment. Avoid till it gets patched. Essentially its still an early access title released to soon.

Gonna have to agree. This game has amazing potential, its great when it works but there are SOOOOO many goddamn bugs!

If you reach 10 quests, the game bugs out and you cant turn in quests to get less than 10 or take new ones. So basically the game is over cause you also cant even fight the SK. Another common bug is after trading with factions, they all disappear...their units, their cities, even the random mob encampments.

Then there are the various loading bugs. Load a game, game just closes. Load a game, just stays on that screen forever.

Please put a bit more work into this game and make it great. If you fix some stuff, make the game a bit harder (its pretty easy,e ven on Hard) and add in multiplayer, you are gonna be rich

I'd suggest taking a look through the troubleshooting guide, and start a support ticket if you still have issues so we can assist further.

Hello,

So, is the game still really buggy ? I'm interested in it, and seeing it on sale now I am even more wanting to buy it, but a review from only two days ago says the game still has game-breaking bugs, crashes and cannot be completed without cheating and frequently reloading :(
Would be awesome people with crashes and bug reports to send support tickets to gog or preferably as the Developer sscott721 wrote, to them.

I find the game almost bug free... have played it really extensively - spent at least 25 hours playing during a time of 1,5 weeks.
The only bugs I've encountered have been after many hours of playing and some switching-to-browse-the-web on the side occasionally - the game has crashed on loading a save. But only a few times of the at least 50 times I've loaded a save.
The other one was there was a disappearance of a layer of graphics, also after the same as previously - long hours of playing and multitasking. That one was easily fixed by quitting to desktop and restarting.

I find the game really enjoyable. Nothing incomplete about it so far, in my opinion. A great strategy game on par with Galactic Civilization 2 that I finished last year. But I understand that some people are getting more problems - that's why it would be interesting to see the support ticket answers.

I don't see any need for cheating. It's a hard game because it has unique mechanics - combining Civilizations, Heroes of Might & Magic, Master of Magic... There are lots of things. Actually rather not spoil anything. But as with GC2, one has to learn to be good :)

A new beta patch 1.5 is up on steam. Perhaps in a few weeks we'll be getting the next patch here on gog.

How does version 1.50 behave for you?

Haven't tried it yet but will download and see how it is and will redo the review accordingly but can't promise anything before the weekend.
