2. Talarasha, there is no basis for the claim that "the problem is only observed by you" for now: no one else has reported it except you. This is what common sense tells me. When there are more reports, we will look at the statistics.

I wonder, are you going to do something, or do you just want to sit and argue? If it's the latter, maybe you shouldn't waste the author's time.

By the way, you have "Platinum". SoD and "Platinum" are not the same. What works in one may not work in the other.

Another fantasy. Show me what doesn't work there.

I repeat: I only encounter this problem with this map and 2 other maps - out of hundreds that I have. I didn't start playing "Heroes" yesterday, and I understand something. And if you haven't encountered any "buggy" maps yet, then either you're just lucky, or you haven't seen many of them.

I specialize in special SoD maps, I understand their structure perfectly, and I know how to bring them back to life. I have the relevant experience to provide assistance. And I have real results, such as the positive feedback from the author of FCstudia, not mythical "I've been playing Heroes for three hundred years and I've seen a hundred thousand maps." Because I don't just rely on the "bugginess" of maps, but I also have a technical justification for the "bugginess." I can always, at the level of the map, at the level of specific bytes, give an answer about what, where, and why it crashes.
But in this map, I don't see any problems yet. I only see that you are sitting idly and, while assuring everyone of your rich life experience, you refuse to do the simplest thing to fix it.

"Buggy" map Armageddon works for me. Both the first and the second.

And this is the height of logic:

Bravo! Keep it up! You'll go far!

In light of your statements, I simply don't see the point in this. It's already clear that they are baseless, because none of your claims that "it doesn't open" for SoD maps have been confirmed. But nevertheless, I will download WoG now and run it. Just to see what form your denials will take then ;)

Added:


This is what I'm talking about.

Conclusion? And the conclusion is simple. In light of this:

By the way, you have "Platinum". SoD and "Platinum" are not the same. What works in one may not work in the other.

2. If you run a clean SoD (Heroes3.exe), then the installed WoG does not affect its operation in any way!

And if you haven't encountered any "buggy" maps yet, then either you're just lucky, or you haven't seen many of them.

Your next statement:

Everything else is irrelevant. Viruses are definitely not the problem. The OS is also not. SoD and WoG work perfectly for me. They are installed "according to the rules," as they should be.

has no basis. You are simply not qualified enough to give a definitive answer as to whether viruses are involved, whether the OS has an impact, or whether your game version is to blame. References to "hundreds of thousands of maps" and information gleaned from "serious scientific journals" like the Heroic Messenger, as I said, do not impress me.
