2. Installation
===============
Please may sure that you installing a right patch for you game version.
1. Before installing Heroes of Might & Magic V patch 1.3 please close all other programs.
2. Run patch installation file.
3. Follow the instructions.
Upon installation you can run game either from windows start menu ('Start' -> 'All Programs' -> 'Ubisoft' -> 'Heroes of Might and Magic V' -> 'Heroes
of Might and Magic V') or use 'Heroes.exe' file from the game installation directory (By default, the game will be installed into
"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Heroes of Might and Magic V").
Note:
Changes will not take effect if loading from the old save - Game restart will be needed.
Earlier game versions (1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) are not affecting the rating obtained on duel; only 1.3 game version is capable to generate rating.
The old scores from patch 1.2 are no longer relevant on patch 1.3 as the parameters on which the scores are calculated have been reconsidered and there are needed complete replays of campaigns for updated scores.
Ranking numbers are temporary excluded from the lobby player list and will be available later. For now, they can be accessed through the players profile.
3. Changes in patch 1.3

4. Known issues
===============
Switching off 'V-Sync' option in your video driver options may cause twitched animation in Town if you rotate camera manually.
Loading a save from another language version can cause fonts and textual problems in the interface.
5. Troubleshooting
==================
5.1 Outdated or incorrect video drivers may cause some issues. Before contacting support, please check you have the latest versions of video drivers and
correct DirectX 9.0c version for you system. Lastest version drivers you may take at:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp for nVIDIA graphics cards
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27 for ATI Technologies graphics cards
DirectX 9.0c version may be found on the game installation disc.
5.2 Also, before launching the game, make sure what no other programs are running.
5.3 The game does not support playing through http proxy. The player needs direct (real IP) or NATed (most intranets) internet connection. In case of
firewall the player needs to open the following ports:
6668 TCP (IRC servers(chat in lobby))

44000 UDP (CDKey servers)
45000 UDP (NAT server)
42500 UDP ( CDKey local port, can be configured by player through game config files, "setvar net_ubi_cdkey_port = <desired port>")
