Help! a problem with updating heroes of might and magic 4

[GLH]

Just uninstall the complete game, then reinstall and update!

Hi GLH,
1. are you sure that it will make the update suddenly work?..
2. isn't there any other way?

Listen the update checks the size of the game exe and its CRC.

If both fail to match, then it wont update.

Only way your going to do it is to back up your save games, and reinstall the game then update.


A lesson to people, back up your original exe before using a no-cd, this way its easy to copy back.

Can you explaine to me what is CRC?

[Monty Burns]

CRC = Cyclic Redundancy Check

To make a long story short and easy: If the checksum (calculated from the file) doesn't match, the file will be recognized as being faulty.

I've re-installed the game like you told me too, and still it shows me the god damn same message....

Now what?...

[TippeX]

contact the game tech support department, nothing else for it is there

1. If it don't work, then the UpdateFile is damaged.
2. I think not.
