Might & Magic: Heroes 5.5 RC11 released!

Author: Liso1 March 25, 2019 0 Comments

A new release of Might & Magic: Heroes 5.5 is ready for download and will fix the infamous cursor issue and some more stuff. The project was long quiet because 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 Skeggy 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 Heroes 5.5 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.
