I have:
the full version of Heroes 3 (on two CDs), version 4.0 (as stated in the file details)
Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and DirectX 9.
During installation, the installer first says that I already have some kind of DirectX and allows me to skip installing its own, but later it says it doesn't recognize the existing one, though if I want, I can still install the game.
After installation, the game launches, but crashes very quickly, almost immediately.
I tried setting compatibility with different versions of Windows, same thing.:smile35:
The point is, some time ago it was already working on this same computer! That's what makes it so frustrating. I'm not sure if Service Pack 2 was installed back then (if that's even relevant).
I would be very grateful for any leads.
