patthefatrat: Hi community.

I reinstalled Heroes of Might and Magic V. I have a new PC system now, my old rig rand Windows 7, HOMM 5 ran absolutely fine, including the 5.5 mod. After reinstalling it on my new rig (Windows 10, GTX 1060; AMD Ryzen 2400G), I encountered the following problems:

- I cannot skip the intros (logos + intro movie), neither by clicking with the mouse, nor by hitting ESC
- I cannot use my keyboard, none of the shortcuts (e.g. ESC to bring up the menu) work
- I cannot zoom in or out, using the mousewheel or PGup/PGdown keys
- I cannot tilt the camera
- in the fight scene in the main menu, the textures aren't properly loading, but when I exit a game and click on "Return to main menu", this is fixed

Everything else seems to work fine. I can click on things. I can pan the map by moving the mouse cursor to the edges of the screen.

What I tried already:
- disabling Windows Defender
- switching between full-screen and windowed mode
- deleting the intro + logo files; of course this "fixed" the unskippable logos/intro problem
- switching between camera modes (classic HOMM/normal)
- switching keyboards; on my wireless Logitech KB with included trackpad, the trackpad works, but the keys still don't
- installing the 5.5 mod and launching via he 64bit shortcut

EDIT: I also tried running it in compatibility mode (Windows 7) and as an administrator. I also disabled "Full-Screen Optimization" in the compatibility tab.

Nothing seems to work...

Please help me.

Regards, patthefatrat

gmbarak: Had the same problem, I fixed the problem by copying input.cfg or input_a2.cfg (depends on windows 7/8/10)

to:

C:\Users\<my username>\Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Profiles\<my username>

from:

<Program Files (x86)>\GOG Galaxy\Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\profiles\default_profile

good luck!!
