Hello, just passing by to shamelessly promote [email protected]
Also, yeah, usual business when it comes to Ubisoft. Fun story: their first HoMM game, H5 from 2006, had its release date postponed because the fans protested and begged to have it released later. It was horribly buggy, according to the beta players, and the fans wanted the studio to have enough time to fix it.
I bought the complete version on Gog and it works on Linux after a small tweak
Its surprisingly easy to fudge up this kind of thing if you’ve seen Steam’s back end.
That being said, getting a miscofigured game all the way to launch is kind of wild.
Haven’t read the article but they just added a 770MB update to the 26KB original download and now the game reportedly works.

Wow. When I read the headline I thought it had to be an exaggeration or complaint about poor game quality. Nope, literally forgot to add it.
What on Earth is with the system requirements for this game? It requires a gigabyte of space? Heroes of Might and Magic 3? How’s that possible? Judging from the pictures it is not updated or remastered or anything.
It’ll be 700MB of electron based emulation to run it.
It came on a CD, which is max about 700MB; that could easily unpack to a gigabyte.
Hurray! Minimal effort has been achieved!
