Posts from Playing Hota on a Macbook Air M1 via Parallels.

So, I decided to play the timeless classic, Heroes 3, on my Macbook Air M1 using Parallels. I installed Parallels. I downloaded an ARM-based Windows 11 image. I was thrilled with how smoothly the virtual machine ran and how seamlessly I could switch between macOS and Windows; the M1 is a beast 😮. I'm installing HotA. I go into the Lobby. The game starts, and there's my beloved Jebus 🤩. I start a game as Solmyr, and the tavern in Alamar looks fantastic! Everything was going so well until I got to a battle, and all the units, regardless of their strength, were dealing minimal damage to each other – just 1 😢. I tried both Windows 10 and Windows 11, and I have a video showing the damage being only 1: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...k5?usp=sharing Maybe someone knows if there are any Windows settings that can be tweaked through Parallels to fix this bug? I also wrote to ru_support@support.parallels.com. I was already thinking about getting rid of my old Windows laptop, but I guess I won't be doing that just yet 😒

Dear sir, thank you, everything works, my respects!
I hope this was the only bug 😃

Hey, does anyone still have the document saved? The link to VK isn't working anymore.

Comrades!

I'll write here since the topic concerns MacBooks. There are no problems with the gameplay, except for the hotkeys.

More precisely, some hotkeys even work (split the stack equally and remove a single unit from the stack).

But the following hotkeys don't work:

a) exchanging items between heroes in a town,
b) transferring the entire army to another hero, except for the unit you are holding,
c) maybe a couple more hotkeys don't work.

And that's annoying. The timer is running, you don't have time for anything, and you have to do everything manually...

I'm waiting for your advice.

Has anyone installed Heroes of Might and Magic VII on a Mac? Does it run well? I'm wondering if buying Parallels would be a waste of money.
