I'm a huge fan of Heroes, so when I went to E3 2005 to learn about Heroes V I was ecstatic. I spoke with Fabrice at length as he showed me the demo.
When I got the Collector's Edition this past fall I was pleased that it came out and everything was going to be an enjoyable experience, or so I thought, as many of you were probably hoping for. We're now well on our way through several patches and even an expansion.
I expected the game to at least work, and for the most part it does... expect for the blatantly obvious lag issue when viewing in the direction of the main map area, especially at lower angles. This isn't my computer's fault, as any setting still has the effect. It would seem to be generated from the game not being able to handle all the effects, and generating everything improperly all at once even though you can't see much of it. The problem with this is it will do it no matter what settings or performance your computer is at, although certain maps are worse than others.
It seems to be relatively stable if you do not lower your camera angle whatsoever, and/or you zoom in completely. Obviously though that isn't a way to play the game.
It is an obvious issue that just about everyone has. For some reason the programmers weren't able to program well for it and have decided not to fix it yet. It's unbelievable, a blatantly "in your face" issue and they don't fix it, lol. Several patches later I come back and its still a problem, no change whatsoever.
I can't play the game until this is fixed. I have no idea how you guys handle moving around in the game world when it chops out on you no matter what when you view in the direction of the inner map.
Please fix this issue http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif. I've seen others complain about it, and its amazing not everyone is. I can't be a hardcore fan boy and just ignore it saying it isn't there, that's not an enjoyable experience to delude myself http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif. I'd like to play the game decently. No more expansions until you get the root problem figured out, lol. I'd do it that way anyway.
Just to note that I've tried the game on numerous hardware configurations, so the problem is absolutely not my own. I wish it was, then I knew I could fix it.
If anyone just so happens to know a trick around this, such as shutting off the particle effects or shutting off whatever is causing this, please let us know. I'd like to seriously get into the game and create maps for it, as I've done with previous Heroes versions. I'm eager to, but I can't with problem being a complete annoyance to the play experience.
