After spending two hours trying to get a game for three people going (the absolute atrocity that is the Random Map Generator will definitely be discussed in another entry), the game crashed on one of our computers. The player could not get it to close, so he restarted his computer. When it came back on, he tried to restart the game, but it gave him this crazy error message (which I will include a picture of very soon.)
The game seemed to think that it was STILL RUNNING on his computer, even after it was restarted. It also no longer recognized the disc as a Heroes disc anymore. He has uninstalled it twice, removed all his maps and player data, and restarted his computer, and it still gives him that obnoxious message with terrible grammar.
Heroes no longer works on his computer because it crashed and he had to restart. He will be trying other ways to fix this, but has already spent an hour fucking with it.
Another issue happens on the computer of another player: once the disc is in her computer, it cannot be taken out unless she restarts her computer and ejects it right as the computer starts up.
This game tries very hard to be completely incompatible with computers, which, oddly enough, are the machines that run it.

I wish I had found your blog BEFORE I had bought the game. Sure, it was on sale and all, so I'm only out $10 or so, but one game - just one multiplayer game - made me never want to try that again.
It's a decent single player experience, but multiplayer? Never again.
