Posts from Water texture and hero highlight lag.

Hello everyone. I've encountered a problem: the hero highlight on the map is lagging, and the water texture constantly flickers with stripes. Otherwise, the game runs smoothly, without any stutters.

I've attached a video of the problem:

I would be very grateful for any information regarding this issue. Thank you!

I looked through it, but the problem isn't discussed there. :(

Added after 18 hours and 46 minutes

I solved the problem as follows:

- Installed the CCleaner program
- Cleaned the registry
- Cleaned up program junk
- Updated all the drivers that the program suggested updating
- Restarted the computer

Thank you!

I have the same problem. I couldn't find a solution and had to give up. Changing the resolution and game settings doesn't help. On my other computers, everything works perfectly.

This is how I solve the problem with the jerky animations of hero and creature skirts. After installing the game and the patch (if the patch is not included in the installer, as in the GOG version), I immediately install the ENTIRE DirectX 9, even if DirectX 9 was installed during the game installation. It may be missing some libraries for older games that are not available on Windows 10 and later.

Microsoft DirectX® is already included in Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and equivalent versions for Windows Server. This DirectX runtime for end users does not change the DirectX version, but installs a number of additional parallel technologies from the legacy DirectX SDK that are used in some older games. For a detailed explanation, see https://aka.ms/dxsetup.

Basically, I just solved this problem. I installed a 1050 graphics card, and stripes appeared on the water, just like in the author's video. I talked to a bot, and it suggested downloading a library so that Heroes would run on Vulkan instead of DirectX 9. I've attached the file d3d9.mp3. When you download it, change the extension to .dll (the admins don't allow any file types to be uploaded to the site, so I had to change the extension). Go to the game folder, find the "bin" folder where the game's executable file is located, and put this file there. Then, in the properties of the game's executable file, set it to run as administrator, and that's it – the stripes disappear, and the water looks normal. Moreover, even the lag in the main menu disappears.
