Guys, what do you mean by "doesn't work"? I have this problem: when I launch the shortcut/application, a black screen appears, and nothing else happens. It used to work, and I think it even worked on Windows XP. "Whirlwinds of War" can't be removed from the list of programs, so it won't install, even if I go to the disk through the file explorer and click setup. It just keeps offering to uninstall it. And "The Gathering Storm" crashes to a black screen without any disk detection.

It seems like your registry is corrupted. I had the same problem with Heroes 4; it somehow keeps trying to leave its traces behind. Try installing all parts of Heroes 4 one after another. At some point, you'll get an error saying it can't be installed, but instead, it will offer to uninstall it. Uninstall it, and it will disappear from the list of programs. Then, reinstall it, and everything should work. At least, that's how I dealt with the same problem.

I thought it was because of the monitor, not the operating system... It seems like the resolution doesn't allow it – the screen gets duplicated. :mad:

I thought it was because of the monitor, not the operating system... It seemed like the resolution was too high – the screen was multiplying. :mad:
By the way, I also encountered this problem... The monitor was 15 inches, and the video card was a high-end one. So, when the game was installed, the default resolution was (1024*768), and my monitor glitched... it was a nightmare. I had to change the resolution through a small strip (almost blindly).

This happens when you buy an expansion pack instead of the actual game. If you don't have the game, it will display this error message.

I used to have the same problem, but I changed it through safe mode.

Here, I've included a file that describes how to deal with these kinds of problems, not just with games, but with programs as well!

I WISH YOU LUCK!

All games (or almost all) store information about settings either in files with the .ini extension in the same folder as the game or directly in the registry, where they can be easily modified.

However, in the 4th installment of the Heroes series, the settings are in a hexadecimal system.

True, in Heroes 4, the settings are in a hexadecimal system.


And how can this be done in reality?

When I launch the game, I get a black screen. I installed the patch, and I get the error: missing_x2 components.

Which patch? If you installed a mod, then you're missing the executable file.

I found a patch that fixes this error (the black screen issue), here's the link:http://www.equi-map.narod.ru/downloads/heroes4_sfx.exe
How does it work?
It's just an executable file. Try installing the mod.

You'll figure it out on the website. If you have any questions, read the FAQ.
