Dear friends, please explain to a newbie how to properly set up a game if I want to play online with a friend. The problem is that it constantly says that the IP address cannot be found. I have SoD. Write down the steps. I would be very grateful.
Install Hamachi, join the same room, disable antivirus, firewalls, and the Windows Firewall (see my signature for instructions), set the priority for the Hamachi adapter (also there), start the game, select "New Game" - "Network," TCP/IP - "Server" - "OK."
The other player tries to join.
1. What version of Heroes is actually needed? I have the third version from Буки, from 2001, it seems to be a licensed copy (brought from Russia), but version 3.0, and the patch cannot be installed. If I replace the executable file with one taken from this site, the game glitches. What should I do? Should I look for a newer version of Heroes?
2. What difficulty level do you play on? 160% or 200%? What maps? S, L, M, or XL?
3. Will a 52 kbps connection be enough for online play?
1) 4.0 Platinum or The Shadow of Death with patch 3.2 - if the patch cannot be installed, replace heroes3.exe version 3.0 with 3.2 (link in my signature). "Glitches" - what do you mean? Yes, at the beginning, the arrangement of the "New" and "Load" buttons jumps, but what difference does it make?
2) Here, people play at 160%, rarely at 200%.
3) The speed will be enough; sometimes, it might not be enough during the connection if the map is XL.
He creates a map, I join him through TCP/IP, and everything seems to be fine. But then this happens: He takes his turn, passes the turn to me, and when I finish my turn, a blue bar with the inscription "Sending data 86%" appears, and everything freezes. After some time, "Data transfer error. Try again?" appears. Retrying does not help.
What could be the problem?
Try installing Heroes from a different distribution. Disable all firewalls and antivirus software. Check if there are any in the routers or DSL modems. If all else fails, try reinstalling Windows.
We have the same problem, but we are not playing through "Hamachi," but simply creating a game, and it only happens when playing with three players. If we play with two, everything is fine... We would also like to know what the problem is.
How are you connecting?
Try everything I described above, except for reinstalling Windows.
I created my own network in Hamachi
and it immediately started writing:
message that doesn't make sense
and even deleting and reinstalling it didn't help
until I created my own network, everything was fine
Please tell me what this is.
I have no idea what the problem is. Try completely deleting it and reinstalling it.
Uninstalling Hamachi:
Uninstall Hamachi.

Search the C: drive for "*hamachi*.*" (If it was not installed on the C: drive, then also search on the drive where it was installed).

Delete all found files.

Delete the folder at the path: "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Hamachi"... You may have a different folder instead of "Administrator").

Run regedit from the command line.

In the registry editor, search for "hamachi."

Delete what you find. This may be either an entire folder with Hamachi data (delete the folder) or a separate entry for Hamachi in some folder (delete only the entry). In general...

One of the folders will refuse to be deleted (this happened to me).

Restart.

Repeat the actions starting with "run regedit."

You can restart again.

Install Hamachi. You will be given a new IP address. Hamachi will work.
