| |

| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <external storage*>/vcmi-data/ or Android/data/is.xyz.vcmi/files/vcmi-data/
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Latest daily build shows exact folder path where it expects to see vcmi-data when it can't locate Heroes III files (You can ignore prefix /Storage/0/emulated because file managers usually do not show it, vcmi-data folder might be absent but the rest of the path will be created automatically after first game start)
| |
| − | | |
| − | <external storage*> is whatever system returns as "external storage directory", so either actual sdcard, or internal memory if sdcard isn’t available.

| − | = Troubleshooting / well known issues =
| |
| − | | |
| − | == The game crashes on start ==
| |
| − | '''Please double check that you copied original SoD/Complete game files into your Android Device'''<br/>
| |
| − | Another common cause of crash is when users set resolution higher than their device screen resolution.<br/>
| |
| − | For android we recommend to set a rather low resolution anyway, such as 1024x600, as high resolution means elements will be small and will be hard to click and read.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == I installed google play version, but have a problem while installing daily builds ==
| |
| − | '''Solution:''' Uninstall google play version first, before installing daily build version.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == I installed play version, but the screen is flashing on its edges ==
| |
| − | '''Solution:''' This problem is fixed in current daily builds. Either install a current daily build, or wait for a new google play version.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == I use newest daily builds. The game always starts in 800x600 resolution, cannot effectively change it, also there is a lot of blank space on my widescreen device ==
| |
| − | '''Solution:''' Please download "VCMI-extras" mod from here https://wiki.vcmi.eu/Mod_list#Utilities, unpack it and copy to Mods folder inside vcmi-data folder where you put original game files.<br/>
| |
| − | Resolution setting 1024x600 is better than original 800x600 for widescreen mobile phones.
