Is there a patch (update) for Heroes III from version 3.0 or 3.1 to version 4.0? And another question: If such a patch doesn't exist, is it possible (and if so, how) for players with versions 3.0 (3.1) and 4.0 to connect online?

Does a patch (update) for Heroes III even exist in principle
from version 3.0 or 3.1 to version 4.0?

And one more question?
If such a patch doesn't exist, is it possible (and if so, how?)
for online players to connect if one has version 3.0 (3.1) and the other has 4.0?

As far as I know, no such patch exists... and there is no way to patch it.... because 4.0 is a complete collection..... while 3.1(3.0) is a separate "game"......
And regarding connecting—that's also impossible... the versions are different.. and they have different changes.... because for example in 4.0 there are no spells that are specialized for the Hero.. (for example restoration) =))

Why, I have version 4.0 installed (Complete Collection), and Alamar has the Resurrection specialization, and the corresponding spell is also available.

As far as I know, the latest patch for SoD is 3.2, and version 4.0 refers to completely different games (for example, Platinum).

Well, not everyone has it that way =)) but many have had their basic skills changed (I don't remember exactly who, but one of them has 1 advanced skill instead of 2 basic ones =))

/topic/2647/ - a symbiosis of The Shadow of Death and Armageddon's Blade in one package! I was surprised myself when I managed to achieve this!

This is, of course, a double post, but since nothing is clear, I will quote myself:

Undoubtedly, the Platinum Collection (4.0) is 100% compatible with The Shadow of Death 3.2. Moreover, if it doesn't connect from Platinum to Platinum, there are fewer problems with The Shadow of Death – it is more compatible with Platinum than Platinum itself! Seriously – this has been verified through personal experience! P.S. As for 3.0 and 3.1, they definitely don't connect – it immediately displays a message saying that the version is incompatible with... and so on.

Vitalik, we've played together many times, I on The Shadow of Death, you on Platinum. The difference: Platinum still has all the bugs, but The Shadow of Death doesn't. There is no Russian font (The Shadow of Death), the opponent's mana is not visible during the battle, and much more. This is possible thanks to the patch: The Shadow of Death patch (3.1 to 3.2) The Shadow of Death patch (3.0 to 3.2) Well, that's all for now, correct me if I missed anything.

People!!! what are you even talking about?
Platinum and SoD are practically no different (in terms of gameplay).
All heroes, skills, specialties - everything is the same ...
Actually, let's start with the fact that Platinum is a skillfully assembled (by professionals) combination of the 3 parts into one ... I think you know which ones, and SoD exists on its own as a separate version, but I prefer to speak of SoD as a sequential installation of Erathia+Armageddon's Blade+The Shadow of Death ... so if you install them one over another - problems like "there is no Conflux castle" or "there is no random map generator" etc. will not arise - practically, it will be the same Platinum, only done manually .... I don't rule out that if everything is installed as correctly as possible, then SoD 3.2 VS Platinum 4.0 could connect ...
As a last resort .. my friend Invisible suggested here that you can connect through a third party - those who don't connect directly ... another matter is how often the game will crash ... but there are almost always ways out!!!
P.S. I play on Platinum 4.0 - but it seems to me that I've played more than once with people who just have SoD - so we try ... try .. and try again!!!:)

Sash, nothing own hyper is required from the person - download 4mb and indicate where their heroes are;)
And they don't connect for completely different reasons unknown to me,
and this happens just as it does with 4.0 vs 4.0, at least in my case.

Within SoD itself, there is both the Conflux castle and the random map generator: for random maps to be generated in SoD - you need to create "zero files" (empty ones) in the Heroes root folder - h3blade.exe and in the DATA subfolder - h3ab_ahd.snd, h3ab_ahd.vid, h3ab_bmp.lod, h3ab_spr.lod.
