Today I will release a long overdue update of RC10 beta 4, the project was long quiet because
I was stuck on a gamebreaking issue (flickering cursor) for which the cause could not be found and also real life stuff. Thanks to forum users i-kk and Gidoza for finding the issue. This issue was not unique to beta4, it existed in all older versions, so you should update. This release will otherwise not bring much content but I expect it to be fully stable and H5.5 has been long in a state were not much further balance issues have come up, so I dare to risk remove the beta from the name. It will be a very recognizable update because of the change in grass color see below.
In my absence people have started a discord channel for the mod: MMH5.5 Discord

Thanks for the new update! Love the fact that a fix for the flickering cursor was found. It always plagued my game after a few weeks. May i ask where or how did you find the issue with it and got a fix?
Best mod ever! Thanks again, guys :)
Thank you.
Here you go -> Heroescommunity.com
Glad you're still at it.
I've happened to find a couple of minor issues:
1) Swift Mind seems to conflict with "free attack at the beginning of combat" hero specialization - their free attack counts as first action in combat and hero resets to 'usual' 10 initiative ATB position after making that shot instead of 12.5
2) Combat skill based bonus hero standard attacks (e.g. Chain Attack) disregard Ranger's Imbue Arrow skill and do not cast Imbued spells when triggered.
3)Arcane Avenger skill does not count exact number of spell casts. E.g. if you have Triple Ballista skill it will shoot three times casting imbued spell after each shot but mana will be drained as if spell was cast only once.
Having a blast (literally, he-he) playing Impossible 8 player max difficulty map.
all sounds like unchangeable stuff from original game
As soon as I installed this version new map I created crashed at month 3-4 and it wont load any save for that map. Every time I try to load game closes.
Which EXE file do you use to play the game? How big is the map? does it have underground?
I used MMH55_64.exe and Huge map with no underground.
I was Necropolis, I entered town with one of my heroes and game crashed. And I tried loading multiple different saves they all get to 50% and crash the game.
Thank you for alerting us. We will check this out.
tihi8585 we found the issue - try disabling Windows Data Execution Prevention (DEP) - Thewindowsclub.com.
Then try to enter the castle again.
I am in a slight different version of 5.5, but sometimes my saved file is only about 1000 kilobyte instead of usually about 50-65 Mb (2.5 year old game/map). When that happens I (being in the saved games folder: Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Profiles\Player\Saves)- I move up one level to the previous folder 'left arrow' f.ex. with my mouse, and then I hit 'right arrow'-going back to the 'saves' folder and wupti the 1 mb file now is a 50-63 mb file! dont ask me why and how it happens, but it works again. Another thing that prevents these 1 mb files to be created is, only keep around 20 saved files in that folder give and take. This means every time I save or atleast close the game, I go the save folder and perfom that action.

same startup problem MMH55.exe and MMH55_64.exe
at startup MMH55_Utility.exe, MMH55_Utility_64 and H5_Game.exe everything is good, but the mod does not work there.
What resolution are you playing?
Thanks for a great mod! Incredible work.
Is there any way to generate a smaller map with more players. I cannot seem to be able to do that as it lacks templates for that. Is there any way this can be done?
Best regards from Sweden!
Fun mod, just wanted to report a bug that I seem to have found. Zydar's specialization doesn't seem to be working as intended. The description says that he has an initiative of 10+.5+.5xlevel, however I have reached decent level with him on multiple maps, like level 10 or so (just to test it), and he still seems to have an initiative of 10.He is having imps and hounds go before him with 12 and 13 initiative when he is level 10 and should have an initiative of 15.5.
it is 0.05 per level so he should then have initiative of 11.
Hey,
I'm not able to set the hero level cap above 40, so I end up capping my hero level without finishing filling out my skill/ability tree.
How do I set the cap above 40?
you are running the mod from the wrong exe file
