Did anybody tried to install virtual LAN and then play the game as LAN game? May be this is the ubi server that is bugged not the game itself?
If somebody is interested to check this out, virtual LAN can be created with this:

Ok, then only thing left is to pray to Great Patch Lord that he will cast his blessings upon poor Ubi...

I may have figured it out.
After having game after game screw up I think I may have figured out what causes it. I've noticed that when i go into the thieve's guild at some point it appears the game starts messing up there. The hero stats update but the creatures with him don't appear to. I would try a game without looking in there but I need some sleep so I'll have to try not looking in there sometime tomorrow. Just thought I'd put this up so others can try it if they want.

Crashes.
Hey,
- Well I have been looking into this after Ohms started this thread and I have come up with some possible answers too.
- I have played several of the MP maps in single player and everytime I reach months 3 / week 1 / day 1-4 thats where the lag monster starts to kick in. FYI, I meet all the req... well <-- see 
- Maps played :
1) Heritage
2) Mystic's Vale
3) Neighbours
4) Rise to Power
5) Subterranian Treasures
6) The Land of Outcasts
7) Warlords
-All played ( or after I had my 1 suspision,end turn ,etc. ) with different alignments/heroes.
- Last game I played just before this post ,was Rise to Power with Academy, and I had 3 weeks of different monsters ( can't remember their names 1) Devil 2) Monks 3) Unicorns.
-So after having this thread in mind I saved and tried to act like ohms and Midnight had done e.g. seeking out the scattered random monsters and attacking/ let them flee etc. And I got the same error a few days ( 3 to be precise ) after that.. saying ; Heroes have found an error.. closing down. I could, however load it up again, but it seems the error was already made / permanent ..3 more days and I had the same error saying ; ...closing down.
- But I think it ALSO has something to do with the # of days a map is played. Seems a bit TOO odd and strange that I get that error in the same week of the same months on each and every map listed above.
- Well just a thought

By George I think he's got it
As silly as it may sound, the thieve's guild idea may actually have turned out correct. I played The_Wiz last night on Subterranean Treasures and neither of us looked in ours and the game went pretty well and we actually got to fight each other at the end. So I suggest until proven otherwise folks play without using the guild.
That said... I also got thinking that there was never any "Week of the ........" that caused creature stacks sprinkled all over the map so maybe that is a possible explaination. I have noticed that when this happens I have seen stacks outside the gaming area like in the woods. I also have found that when someone attacks one of these stacks it bumps the opponent right out of the game, so try not to attack any of them if you keep playing. I'm not sure if it changes (I think with HoMM3 it would.) but I suggest saving right before a new week and if you get a "Week of the ......" stop and restart loading the save. I'm not sure if it will randomly pick another "Week of" or not but it's worth a try.
Just as an additional note keep an eye on what week it is cause sometimes it gives additional benefits... I've seen Week of Honor which gave double exp points for battles and Week of the Winds which gave 50% more movement at sea.

Hey,
- Well I have just ( end turn'ed ) another map and same problem came up as I mentioned before ( e.g. month 3 / week 1 / day 1-5 ) on Sub. Treasures ... so it seems I am right on the nose here ... ( or ? )
- Also made a quick Warlords ( with all but 1 AI and I ) BUT I looked in Guild this time... and WHAM ( could be a glitch or "luck" ) but I got Week of the Devils RIGHT after ( I did it on day 7 ).
- But I think Ohms may have something here ( besides the heroes5 fever  ) and so we should save every ( I'd say day 6 ) AND day 7 every week.. and hope for a "new" week spawn. Or atleast try it out in a few online games to make sure if it's random.
- I have also taken a notice to this ubi.com thread :
http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1851065692/m/9651039944
But not sure if this has much to it.... in the long run 
P.S. - Now just to ( if not tried out in MP ,what to do with a stack of the week X , if it blocks your path to a crusial area or just blocks in general ? )
- Guz

Update
Okay after further review it appears the Week of Bug is the problem. I just played a game on Sub Treasures with Jrholdt and basically we had weeks of pixies and imps and the game ended up unplayable. Also we tried quitting and restarting but to no avail. The Week of Whatever is not random. After we reloaded we still got Week of the Imp. So basically you can't get around the bug and once it happens the game is basically unfinishable. As long as you don't have one you should be able to finish and fight it out like Wiz and I did. as for the Thieve's Guild I guess it not updating is another bug all it's own.
So, sorry everybody. I kept trying but basically the end result is if you play you have to get lucky and hope you don't get a Week of Whatever. If you don't you should have a good game minus a disconnect or two. If you do, from my experience every game I got it couldn't be finished so you may as well scrap it. Good Luck.
P.S. Thanks for the kind words Kres

out of sync
Bobby and I just ended our game on Sub treasures but after a creature event we unable to see each other....also I could not find any random placings of the creature in my land.
We are going to try and restart back 1 week before the event to see if it can be randomly changed...should he return from being booted when I rejoined...hmmmph
Nope were not able to resume...ubi is not working correctly at all. Will now wait until it is fixed which saddens me ...

make sure you send ubi an email and let them know that the "week of the ..." is one of the main problems. it would be absurd and sad if ubi had no idea that this was the problem and released a patch where this still wasn't fixed ...

First he tells us not to...
Okay, so from the past week I can basically tell you nothing other than there is a bug. LOL Okay actually more than one but one major one. The sync error apparently has nothing to do with the whole Week Of ....... thing. I guess it was pure luck that I got through the game with Wiz and coincidence that we had no Week Of's. I had a game today on Rise of Power (Note to those who didn't know, it was news to me, the training rooms on UBI have a couple extra maps you can play that the ranked rooms don't have.) and could see my opponent, JRholdt, very early second week. I could see him attack things but they didn't disappear from the map although items they were guarding did. It also didn't flag a mine he visited and the army his heroes were carrying weren't updating. So this told us the game was corrupted right off and not after some event. From what it appears, the game probably doesn't update the heroes troops after the first day of play or thereabouts. In fact I think this is why the thieves guild doesn't show the correct army info for Best Hero.
So what I'm telling everyone now is first off ignore everything I've said cause it's all been wrong (LOL Sorry I thought I was on to something.) and now I'm telling you most games are going to be bad. It is pure luck when there is one you can finish though I obviously don't have any percentage of how often this happens. I also now suggest if you do play keep a close eye on the thieves guild cause if it never seems to update when you know your opponent has to have more creatures in his army then it's an early indication of a corrupted game and you may as well quit. For those who may not know holding the cursor over the pic of the opponents hero in there gives info on them, more info the more thieves guilds you control or the more you pay.
The one thing I haven't been able to try that may be worth a look is when Wiz and I played we kept the computer players in the game but I have played with them locked out just about every other game. I don't think i locked them out the first couple I played either. So maybe it is worth leaving the comps in there. It just may help and can't hurt.
Finally as far as the Week Of creatures are concerned there are definately problems when you attack them. In several games, the opponent has been kicked out of the game when the other attacked and tried to allow them to flee or to join. I think killing them is the only thing that you can do that doesn't boot anyone.
I'm sorry my efforts haven't resulted in much to get around the bug but hopefully all this will help you to recognize it early so you don't waste a lot of time playing a game that can't be finished. Hopefully a patch will come soon.

Actually Bobby, we had no computer players. I locked them out.
However, the ONLY game I have finished that was not a duel was indeed our game. I have yet to finish another because of bugs or crashes.

Bug - Inferno Campaign game 3
Inferno 3: Where is the Orange Key??
Hello Everybody! This is about the Inferno Campaign, 3rd game.
I think this is a bug. If it's not, let me know! :-)
There is an ORANGE key guard blocking the inferno military post near the inferno town. There is a RED keymaster tent in the extreme Southeast of the map.
Where is the ORANGE keymaster tent? I think this is a glitch, but I don't know what to do! (The blue keymaster tent is fine, I looked)
Your suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you in advance.

 Mystic valley.All was fine on this map, till i met my friend in combat. Game stuck in tactic, we could not fight with each other.
Than when i played another maps, on them get stuck computer. And on another one map, we play simultaneos turns. When we was near, it changed to turn mode. When we was near each other, my opponent could not see me and i could not attack him.
Actulay, i have not finished one multiplayer game till now. I am very angry. This game is bugged like hell.
We have to reply it to ubisoft, this game is broken.
