Heroes 3.5: In the Wake of Gods Portal > Heroes VI offline patch (March 19, 2024)
Heroes VI offline patch (March 19, 2024)
With the decommissioning of the online services for Heroes of Might and Magic 6 you will be unable to use the online features of the game.
This means that:
- You will no longer be able to play online multiplayer sessions.
- The statistics of your online Dynasty Profile will be reset, and it can no longer be used online.
On 19/03/2024, the development teams released a game patch that will:
- Allow you to continue using your save games for single player and local multiplayer.
- Unlock all Dynasty weapons and pets, as well as set them to maximum level from the start.
- Unlock all Dynasty starting conditions and traits.
- Unlock items that are available at the Altar of Wishes.
If you are running into any issues with the listed changes when playing the game, please make sure that your game is fully updated.
Are the campaign missions dead?
Yes. After patch when you finish the map you play you cannot continue in the next map. It has the option to continue but you transfer to the main menu.
Practically after the patch all campaign missions act like single missions or custom maps.
This way the campaigns become more challenging especially in the late missions because you start as a level 1 hero without artifact sets to carry.
Good things :
- 1. at every campaign map you start a hero with the traits you like and with a dynasty weapon fully upgraded. Very useful in the first map and become less useful in the last maps of a campaign.
- 2. As you progress in the next missions you start like the first mission which means that you upgrade your hero from level 1 and build him as you like. It means that you can build your hero differently in map 1 than map 2 etc. Practically in map 4 you can see your hero leveling quickly early enough. It is a good feature for someone who is bored with the skills assign to the hero.
- 3. Because of these some skills that boost experience like enlightenement that where useless before patch, after the patch are useful.
Bad things :
- 1. All stat bonus you receive in the 4 maps of the campaign never transfer to the next map. The result is that you may never watch your hero to have huge stats when the campaign ends even if you reach max level. Those arenas and the other stat boost can alone make your hero great in stats. This advantage is lost after the patch.
- 2. You may never complete artifact sets because they never transfer.
- 3. You may never complete tear or blood reputation because they never transfer.
- 4. Perhaps in hard difficulty you cannot win late missions of the campaigns.
Those who have time to play can express their opinions and let us know what happens.

Where to get this patch?
You should get it automatically if you have the game installed via the STEAM/UBI Launcher.
First I want to thank those people who tries to repair Ubisoft blooper about this game. Second I try to inform there are a few bugs in Campaign part.The first one is in stronghold Campaign there is no possibility to choose random hero to play. The second one is if in other faction I choose another hero connected with relevant part of Campaign, during loading game it shows another hero who is different faction for example in heaven campaign it’s Yugen from Sanctuary. Are you people who try to recover this game planning some correction of it or we players need to accept that this is how it will be? Thanks for answer
