It seems vbn doesn't know either – I don't either – I'm clueless about this:)
I can't offer any advice.

Does anyone know which port it is? I've already exhausted all the port forwarding options on my router.

Example settings for Routers:

Name: Heroes3
IP Address: 192.168.0.136 (this is the IP of the hosting machine on the LAN)
TCP Ports: 2300 - 2400, 28800 - 29100, 47624
UDP Ports: 2300 - 2400, 28800 - 29100, 47624
Inbound Filter: Allow All
Schedule: Always

You can also try the port triggering method:

I put 6073, 6667 and 47624 to trigger ports 2300-2400 and 28800-29100.

We didn't have enough time so we just tested it like start game, end turn, other player ends turn, etc...it worked fine. BUT! When we later started a game, and a turn was longer than 1-2 mins, the sending data freezed again.
I thought that the problem is my router closes the port because it sees that there is no dataflow. I got a program called PortTrigger, which sends data on the specified ports every 2 seconds. Still no luck, sending data freezes all the time. I tried changing the PortTrigger and Router Port Triggering options like I saw it on www.portforward.com, but I couldn't make it work.

P.S. The most important information is highlighted in bold

Seems like a suitable topic...
How do I launch the game in windowed mode?

In the display properties, set the color mode to 16-bit, then launch the game and press F4. That's it!

I have this problem. I downloaded Hamachi from the internet. At first, it worked like this: if I create a network, others can find me, but if someone else creates a network, I can't find it. And then, neither of us can see each other's networks at all. Help, what should I do?:smile45:

Thanks, is there a way to bypass the 16-bit limitation, as it's annoying to constantly switch? And also: my game resolution is 800*600, which looks very small on a 1280*1024 monitor. Can I increase the game's image size without changing the monitor's resolution?

If someone could suggest a solution, I'd be very grateful! Because switching is really annoying, so I have to play in 16-bit mode. And that's a pain... But I think it's probably impossible... Although I hope I'm wrong.

And one more thing: my game resolution is 800*600, which looks very small on my 1280*1024 monitor. Is it possible to increase the game image without changing the monitor's resolution?

The game is already 800x600. And regarding increasing the image, it's probably not possible.
However, there is a way, although it's a bit clunky. In the monitor settings, you can stretch and compress the image. It's not ideal, but it will increase the image size :D

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete.
OS - XP
PC
P4 3.0@3.54gHz
1GB DDR
Nvidia 6600 GT @565/1200

The game won't run.
It starts, but immediately freezes... sometimes it freezes after creating a game...
It's not everything that freezes, but specifically the game.
I've tried about 10 downloaded Complete versions and two Russian versions... but the effect is still the same. I've tried setting different compatibility modes with the OS... still no luck.
I even reinstalled Windows - the effect is the same.
All other games work normally.
I installed patch 1.4... it didn't help.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

maybe I can get help here
basically, I have Vista SP1 installed (firewall, defender, etc. are disabled)
Hamachi is installed (set as the first network adapter, metric is set to 10)

Problems:
when the metric is set to the default, I can see who is in the network...
when it's 10 or another value, it takes a very long time to connect, and it's the same issue
only one person in the network can ping me, the person who created the network in Hamachi
during the tests, there were 3 people with good internet speeds and reliable providers...
only one of them could ping me... they could ping each other "seemingly without problems"

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

It's not the whole system that freezes, but only the game.

I don't know how to help - if you've downloaded several Complete versions from different sources, I can only suggest buying SOD - it's the same, but without the campaigns (Eredia and Klink) and the chat is in Latin... But in general, I would advise you to buy Complete.

Problems:
In general, when the metric is set to standard, I can see who is in the network...
When it's 10 or another value, it takes a very long time to connect, and it's the same.
Only 1 person in the network can ping me, the one who created the network in Hamachi.
During the tests, there were 3 people with a normal connection speed and normal providers...
Only 1 of them could ping me... they could ping each other "seemingly without problems".

WHAT TO DO?

Listen, I have no idea what a metric is, but you don't need to worry about the ping - just play, it doesn't affect the connection. It's a different matter if you have a limited connection (blue arrow).

Thanks, but is there a way to bypass the 16-bit limitation, because it's annoying to switch it all the time? And also: the game resolution is 800*600, which looks very small on a 1280*1024 monitor, can I increase the game image without changing the monitor resolution?

Nazg, why would you change the gamma back to 32? 16 is almost the same...

I downloaded it from torrents. The problem is with the sound drivers. I reinstalled the system, installed an antivirus and a firewall - the game worked. As soon as I installed the sound drivers (Creative), the game started to lag. What should I do? I would gladly download SOD, but I can't find it anywhere on torrents.

Well, try disabling the sound and launching Heroes; if that doesn't work, delete the drivers and try again...
I honestly can't imagine how a sound card could ruin things for Heroes :) Anyway, regarding your last remark — message me on ICQ — piracy is forbidden here. If SoD behaves the same way, then it's an issue with the PC or software. By any chance, do you have an SB Vibra 128?

I have the following kind of problem... As you can see from the screenshot... This error occurs during the game installation... The system is Vista... It used to work fine... I don't know what happened:(... It's also interesting that Armageddon's Blade works without any problems, but The Shadow of Death gives this error...
