Installing Needed / Missing DLL Files
Heroes V complains that it can't find the dll file named d3dx9_25.dll, and won't start.
Install the DirectX 9 update found on the DVD.

Issues
- Camera controls works best with keyboard.
- Lots of graphics issues at "high details", set it to "low" (default)... not many issues with patch 1.4 and cedega 5.2.8. Some lighting issues at all detail levels.
- If mounted with iso9660 filesystem type, installer will complain about missing manual (case sensitive problem), mount it with udf !
- Any errors (cannot find CD, directx not installed) when starting may not appear and HOMM5 will simply quit.
- crash with 1.0 NOCD solution

Screenshots
Various eyecandy looks best with Cedega 6.0.
