To start playing Heroes 3 online, you need to do a few things. Let's begin in order – first, determine your version of the game. Over the time that Heroes 3 has existed, many versions and patches have been released, etc. Now I will explain what is what.[/B]
Install the patch depending on your SoD version (you can see it by going to the Heroes folder and viewing the properties of Heroes3.exe). Shadow of Death Patch (3.1 to 3.2) Shadow of Death Patch (3.0 to 3.2) I am often asked for help – I cannot install patch 3.2. In this case, there is another way – copy the already patched Heroes3.exe into the game folder. This patch will eliminate bugs in the game and allow you to play with platinum players, but this installation has a significant drawback – you cannot choose the "Conflux" town and there is no map generator. To make all this possible, you need to install a map generator: Map Generator for SoD + Instructions If you have SoD 3.2 and need to play with 3.1, there is a patch that runs 3.2 as 3.1, while your 3.2 remains intact![/B]
______________________________
These are 3 games that can be found on different discs, or even on one collection.[/B]
Platinum Edition
The first two disks are not of interest to us because almost nobody plays these versions. If you have Platinum, you don't need to change anything. Upon numerous requests, here is a patch for those whose game disc is damaged. Patch fixes 100% CPU usage.[/B]
______________________________
There is another version of the third Heroes –
[/B] [/LEFT] In the Wake of Gods (WoG) [/CENTER]
WoG has many versions; currently, the latest is WoG3.58F. It can be installed on an old WoG or SoD (if you have SoD, it is better to copy it into a separate folder, such as c:\Games\Heroes3.58WoG\, and then install the WoG patch), as well as Platinum (it is also worth making a copy). "WoG installation order"
1) Install The Shadow of Death (recommended) or Platinum Edition, or a previous version of WoG. 2) When installing The Shadow of Death, the catalog is selected automatically (at least that's how it works for me); therefore, move all the contents of the Heroes folder to a folder whose path consists ENTIRELY of Latin letters, for example, C:\Games\Heroes III WoG.[br][/br]3) Extract all files from the allion1 archive into the allion1 folder, where a file named wog358f.part01 with the WoG icon will appear, along with files with the RAR extension. 4) Run wog358f.part01; after that, confirm the extraction path (by default, this is the WogInstall folder, which will be created in the allion1 folder).[br][/br]5) After unpacking, the WogInstall folder will appear, which should be moved to the folder C:\Games\Heroes III WoG.[br][/br]6) Run the install file from the WogInstall folder – after some time, a menu will appear asking you to choose a language; then, a window with the inscription "welcome" will appear – click the next button. A window titled "list of found components" will appear, and there will be 3 buttons: change patch, install, and cancel.[br][/br]7) Click change patch; in the window that opens, specify the path to the Heroes folder (C:\Games\Heroes III WoG\) and click ok.[br]8) After clicking the ok button, the "list of found components" window appears again – press install. After installing WoG, you will definitely need to install a Russian language pack for this: 1) Extract the three files with the wog extension from the rubeta358f archive. 2) Move these files to the directory C:\Games\Heroes III WoG\update.[br][/br]3) Run the H3Wupd.exe file in the folder C:\Games\Heroes III WoG.[br][/br]Then proceed as when installing WoG.
