How can I play Heroes of Might and Magic 3 online? Maybe someone knows about some servers or something like that.
And which version of the game is needed for this purpose?

Solution #4: (playing using the Hamachi program)

Try disabling your firewall, your antivirus should be enough to protect your computer, and the firewall blocks connections, such as those used by Heroes, and don't think that just because you've added exceptions for Heroes or Hamachi, it will work:cool:

And by the way, I was also born in Perm :)

And "zemlyak" because I was also born in Perm :)
ok, I'll try, thanks for the advice, "zemlyak". Maybe you want to play a game? If so, write to me in a private message.

Hey, I have a question. We're playing with my brother over Hamachi, and everything is almost fine on the host's computer, but the client isn't displaying the city selection, and it's generally unclear what's going on with the map information... At the top, it says it's retrieving map headers, but nothing happens... Sometimes, it might display complete nonsense, like a 2x2 map, but it shows that there are 4 more creatures there. Also, it doesn't let you choose a Castle, heroes, etc. During data transfer (loading the map), it sometimes crashes...
Both computers have XP SP2, DX 9.0c... We tried several versions: AB+SoD->3.58f->TE 1.03f->TE 1.03q. Instead of AB+SoD, we also tried 3.5->3.58f... SoD->3.58f... And finally, just SoD - the same problem... Does anyone know what's causing this? Maybe some ports need to be opened, or Hamachi doesn't like it?
P.S. Yes, one more thing: when the host and client are communicating during the map selection phase, the host sees all the messages, but the client only sees their own (both I and my brother acted as the host - it's the same). The DPWSOCKX.DLL file doesn't affect the problem, whether it's there or not.
It's the same game...

I think Hamachi has nothing to do with it. If the game was installed correctly, there shouldn't be any problems with it. Usually, when playing online, players have incorrect information about the number of players. To fix this, in a random game, you need to click on the random game options, then on the number of players (1, 2, 3, 4, for example), then set the desired number, and go back to choosing the faction. It would be good for the server to delete all maps from the game folder; then, no synchronization will be required. And most importantly, I think the problem is not with the game or Hamachi; you should try disabling the firewall (disable it from the processes and cancel the autorun) and the antivirus with the firewall (if you have one) and try again. I hope you succeed :)

Guys, please help me solve the following problem:
There's a local network that connects networks from different providers (a so-called city network). And there's a strong desire to play 3-player Heroes of Might and Magic with a friend.
But since we have IPs from different networks, we can't connect. It says "IP not found." I set up a VPN, and now each of us has an IP from the same network. But!!! In the game, there's no option to choose an IP from a list, and only the first one is available (which is different for each of us).

How can we fix this? Please don't suggest Hamachi, as we don't have internet access.

Does anyone even check this forum?

Killing the map files didn't help; it still says it's receiving map headers from the host, which is one thing. Secondly, the firewall doesn't affect the game (it's disabled from the start), and the game loads and plays intermittently. It's just unclear what principle it follows. Selecting cities and rapidly clicking windows like 1, 2, 3, 4 didn't help; the connecting player still doesn't see the selection. And again, it's unclear what's happening with the messages; when my brother selects a city, my messages don't go through, but in the game, the chat works fine.

I disagree here. I recommend having at least one playable multiplayer map in the Maps folder.

2vbn I thought the save files were in the Games folder ;))))) but never mind...
Next, I connected to a guy via Hamachi, and everything was fine with him; we had a nice time playing (note: with my firewall turned on). Any other ideas?
So, it turns out I can play normally without glitches with 2 people, but I can't play with 2 other people, no matter what I try (with one of the latter, we're playing the exact same game)... By the way, one guy said he has the same problem, but he doesn't know why...

I'd be happy to help, but I don't quite understand you - "we have IPs from different networks."
You need to be on the same network or have an external IP.
If that's the case, let's continue the discussion on AIM. 375-572-427

We are on the same local network; my IP is 172.25.5.10, and my friend's is 172.25.10.113. What is an external IP? If it's an internet IP, then we don't have internet access, and therefore no external IP.

well, if everything is okay with the IP address, please perform the following actions:
1. Check if the firewall is disabled.
2. Disable the firewall (if using XP).
3. Disable the antivirus.
4. Check the version of Heroes (although this is the next step - they should have written not "address not found," but "your version is incompatible with the server").

If possible, try playing any other game – if it works, then we’ll consider it… but for now, I have no suggestions on this matter.

It will be faster and, in my opinion, more reliable to call one of your providers and explain the situation to them. Knowledge of the game isn't needed here, but they can explain the other nuances to you.
P.S. Do you at least have the same versions of the game?

the heroes are identical; yesterday I played NFS without any problems. I don't see the point in calling the provider – they won't do anything. Has anyone actually connected directly over the network using different IP addresses?
