Troubleshooting / well known issues

The game crashes on start

Please double check that you copied original SoD/Complete game files into your Android Device

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 / blank on its edges

Solution: Should be fixed since VCMI 1.3

The game always starts in 800x600 resolution, cannot effectively change it, also there is a lot of blank space on my widescreen device

Solution: Should be fixed since VCMI 1.3 onwards.

If you use version 1.2 or older - please download "VCMI-extras" mod from VCMI Launcher. Resolution setting 1024x600 is better than original 800x600 for widescreen mobile phones.
