Thorgalson: I played HOMM5 quite a lot not that long ago, now, after a pause of one, maybe two months, I wanted to play again. I never changed anything in my installation, but suddenly, I can't skip the beginning cinematic. I have to sit through it every time I start the game. An other thing is, I can't split stacks by holding the shift button and using my left mouse button, which should work. I don't understand it. I can use my mouse normally for other things, and I can use my keyboard for renaming save games. I use windows 10 (hasn't changed either) I tried the " start as administrator" option in the folder I installed it in, but no change.

Anyone else got these specific problems? Or an solution?

MadalinStroe: But could you split stacks using the shift key? I know you could in the New World Computing games, but was it also an option in Ubisoft's game? I can't remember ever using it.

You could use pcgamingwiki to work around skipping the into cinematics.

ZFR: Yes.

It's a recent bug since a few people on the HoMM forums complained.
