Guys, help me understand what's causing the lag. There are no viruses, the hard drives are more than half full, I don't download anything unnecessary, I don't visit suspicious websites, the computer is 2-3 years old, all drivers are up to date, the video card is a GTX 650 Ti, 8 GB of RAM, a Core i5 with 4 cores. At one point, it showed 100% RAM usage, then it went back to normal, but the lag didn't stop. I didn't even try to launch a campaign.

I'm also experiencing lag, even though I have a laptop with a dedicated graphics card... Overall, my configuration is definitely worse.
Do you have the latest patch installed? In general, the game's optimization isn't great, and there are unofficial patch-fixes available on various websites. However, I won't provide links because I haven't checked them and can't guarantee they don't contain viruses.
------
By the way, I just noticed the topic title... If the problem is only in the main menu, check the game itself, as the main menu runs significantly worse. That is, with your configuration, there's a high chance that the game itself won't lag; it's not as demanding.

I recently downloaded the latest version of Heroes 7 here.
It seems to be patch 1.8.

The problem is the same; it completely freezes.

The solution is simple: you need to prevent the game from having any network activity!

Either disconnect from the internet physically, or block it in your antivirus.

Vlad, that's exactly it. I already mentioned in the general discussion about Heroes VII, and atlant108 did too, that the game is terribly unfinished.

BLOCK THE GAME IN YOUR FIREWALL ("Binaries\Win64\MMH7Game-Win64-Shipping.exe"), OTHERWISE, EXTREME LAG IS GUARANTEED, EVEN IN THE MAIN GAME MENU.

They run on my system, everything works, but they lag terribly (especially on my old computer). I wanted to ask: if I reduce the screen resolution, will the game run more smoothly, or should I start saving up for a new computer?

If you reduce the screen resolution, will it run more stably?

In theory, yes. But specifically in the main menu, you might not even notice any improvements; it's a bit strange. It seems like you need to solve the issue using a firewall.
But overall, the game is demanding, unfortunately. I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but it would have been better if the developers had made the graphics in the style of Civ6, so that the strategy game wouldn't have such a high hardware requirement.

The system requirements for Heroes of Might and Magic VII are very demanding... because it uses the Unreal Engine... :smile27:

But paradoxically, it runs at an acceptable speed in offline mode at a resolution of 1920*1080, i.e., the problem only occurs when you launch the game in online mode... :smile11:

Only the pirated version has performance issues; the slowdowns are caused by the game constantly trying to connect to Ubisoft, so you need to block incoming and outgoing connections in your firewall. If you can't do that, disconnect from the internet and enjoy the game.

As for me, I bought the licensed version on Steam for 509 rubles and I'm having a great time; no lag, no bugs... version 2.22, I think.

Only the pirated version lags; the lag is due to the game constantly requesting Ubisoft, so you need to block incoming and outgoing connections in the firewall. If that doesn't work, turn off the internet and enjoy the game.

Actually, I bought a licensed copy for 509 rubles on Steam, and I'm having a great time; no lag, no bugs... version 2.22, I think.

I have a direct license from Ubisoft - it only lags in online mode... it just freezes on the video... but it runs fine offline!

Guys, help me understand what’s causing the lag. There are no viruses, the hard drives are more than half empty, I don’t download any junk, I don’t visit shady websites, the computer is 2-3 years old, all drivers are up to date, the video card is a GTX 650ti, 8 GB of RAM, a Core i5 with 4 cores.
