Unfortunately, 15 MB is too much according to our pricing. So, it won't work via GPRS. But as soon as I connect via ADSL, I'll come here and let you know.
P.S. I solemnly swear not to abandon this ungrateful task. I ask you once again, please don't give up.

I think I read that the average map, played over a couple of weeks, fits into 5 MB. I wouldn't wish HotSpot on anyone, but there's also Beltway, Alliance, and SlugFest, where the game time will depend on your skills.

PReDS, Thank you for the compliment about my skills, but if something is missing, it's missing. However, I swear I will keep playing!

Well, I finally got my home internet connection working! I'm ready to play every day from 8 PM to midnight, Moscow time. But it's better to arrange things in advance, just in case...
ICQ: 426139099.

And a couple of questions.
1. Do I need to download Hamachi to play? I have a dynamic IP address, so I guess I do. If so, please provide a link.
2. I read somewhere that you need to set the compatibility mode to Win 95 in the game's properties to play online. But for some reason, when I set that mode, the game doesn't launch. To be more precise, it launches, but a black screen appears, and that's it. At the same time, the task manager shows that the task is running... However, without setting the compatibility mode, everything works normally. What should I do, and is it even necessary to do anything?

P.S. I won't be able to play today, I'm busy, but from tomorrow onwards, I'm ready to improve my rating against anyone (I mean that I'm not very good at the game yet, or rather, I haven't played at all).

Do I need to duplicate my application in the online tournament thread?

2. I read somewhere that you need to set the compatibility mode to Win 95 in the game's properties to play over a network. However, when I set this mode, the game doesn't launch. To be more precise, it launches, but a black screen appears, and that's it. At the same time, the task manager shows that the task is running... However, without setting the compatibility mode, everything works normally. What should I do, and is it even necessary to do anything?
1. I think it's better to download it. Because it's not always possible to connect directly, even with a direct IP, and, in my experience, the game crashes less often with Hamachi.

2. Are you sure you have the Gold version?

2. Are you sure you have the Gold version?

1. I've already downloaded Hamachi just in case; I just need to figure it out, but I think it's pretty straightforward.
2. Yes, it's definitely the Gold, English version. I don't remember where or when I got it, but it's been about 10 years. It never really satisfied me because you can't play the original campaigns (when you choose Original Campaign, a black screen appears, you move the mouse - two frames are highlighted, and when you click on either one, the game crashes). I think the version might be buggy, but I haven't been able to find where to download a normal one.

Regarding Hamachi, I wrote about it in the topic below, where you can read about it in detail, with pictures. I'll copy the link here:

http://www.forum.heroes.by/viewtopic.php?t=525&start=0&sid=a7bc1950a13cf4849757008988d2a636

And regarding Heroes – it's better to download the English version from the League, from the section that Dust manages (for the second Heroes game). I played on those heroes for a very long time, and there were no glitches or lags, and the checkbox works, and nothing happens with the screen (it downloads very quickly, in a few minutes, which is also a plus) (or you can use the Russian Platinum version; it connects perfectly with the English version – that's what I'm using now).
Here's a link to the League, where it says where you can download it:

2 Gynnar: I downloaded HeroesII.exe from the link in the HL forum thread. This file is recognized as a 7-Zip SFX archive. But it won't unpack, and it says "Archive is not supported." What should I do?

It’s not funny.
First, I have not only WinRAR but also 7-Zip installed. And second, I wrote that it’s recognized as an SFX archive (i.e., an executable file), which means it should unpack itself. But it doesn’t unpack itself, and it doesn’t open in WinRAR or 7-Zip.

Ugh! Something's wrong...
I've already downloaded HMM2Gold from RapidShare using the link that Capitan provided. But even in compatibility mode with Win'95, it doesn't work.
Help me, if you can...

There were no problems with unpacking and installing the heroes found on the League, but for some reason, they ran slower than the third version when I played on my old laptop. I didn't bother figuring out why, as there were decent heroes available. For those who are planning to join the online games, check out the material in the links provided by Gunnar!!! And my personal opinion is to use older versions of Hamachi, for example, version 1.0.1.5 can be found on the League in the "Download TE and other useful links" topic. After installing 1.0.2.5, I couldn't continue the Super Cup on the Portal and had to ask for the technical defeat to be recorded. Currently, 2 players have had a negative experience, and instead of enjoying the game, they are spending time trying to configure the program.

Dear friends. We have received an offer to play a match against a friendly resource.

/topic/at/177015/

I ask that you provide as much support as possible to our friends from the Portal.

Dear friends, we are ready to discuss this issue. The head of the Heroes 2 online section on the portal, Maximix, is a registered user of our forum and, by the way, a member of one of the leading clans. Our representatives are actively in contact with leading players on the portal, and we can state that as of 16.05.2008, 20:00 Moscow time, this is an independent initiative, not agreed upon with anyone. And the joint tournament of three forums is ongoing, and the players there are not pitting one resource against another, but are playing in a friendly and positive atmosphere of mutual respect.

Dear Qwerty. I am in complete shock from your recent posts. I have known you for a very long time and have always respected your work in the Heroes community. If you read my posts impartially, you will see that they contain nothing but the transmission of a message from a friendly resource. If worthy people from other resources had contacted you for help, you would have posted informational messages and perhaps made your own suggestions for organizing a tournament.

I repeat, I am unhappy that a person like you has stooped to vulgar sarcasm and mocking another forum user's posts.
I would not like to maintain any further contact with you. I apologize.
