Windows 7 Starter
Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete
HDmod 2.98f
Russian mega pack 0.6
The laptop's native resolution is 1024x600. When this resolution is set, as well as 960x600, the game constantly crashes every few minutes of gameplay. Changing the color mode doesn't affect this – it still crashes (I've tried all 4 modes). NOCD is disabled because the disc is emulated through Daemontools. Setting compatibility for the HEROES3HD.EXE executable to Windows XP SP3 doesn't help.
Interestingly, at a resolution of 800x600, the game doesn't crash at all, but the screen is shifted to the left, and there's a black bar on the right. But I want 1024x600.
I only tested the first mission of the "The Restoration of Erathia" campaign.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?
And another question: is it possible to use the Russian mega pack without using HDmod? I just really dislike the pre-installed fonts, and I can't find a complete version with normal fonts (from the Russian mod) anywhere.
Update: I set compatibility to Win98. The situation has improved; it crashes much less often now. Before, it crashed every 5 minutes.
