I had the same window pop up, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fix it. Just install Platinum and don't worry about it; it runs fine.
As for me, I spent 2 hours and finally managed to fix this problem...
Go to the disc, find the setup folder, and in it, find the setup file. Right-click on it, set compatibility with XP (Service Pack 2), and voila, the error disappears.

Sincerely.

Hmm... well, actually, when you enter the map selection menu, you already act as the server – just wait for the second player to join, select all the options, and press start.

I encountered the following problem: When playing with a friend through Hamachi (and selecting TCP/IP in the game), quite often, when the heroes start battling, the battle is only displayed for the player who initiated the battle. The second player does not see the battlefield; instead, it simply shows "waiting for the opponent to take their turn." It's impossible to play like this. Game version: Heroes 3: Armageddon's Blade, from Buka. Both players have this version.

try searching and replacing heroes3.exe – I don’t have time to install the game right now, maybe I’ll upload it later this evening. In general, I recommend buying SoD or 4.0 and not bothering with this (you can find out what it is in the "useful links" section – it’s in my signature).

Thank you. We'll try.

Upd: Installed SoD - didn't help. Same problem =(
Tried installing platinum - same thing
Tried Plan instead of hamachi - didn't help. Tried playing around with network settings - same thing.
Played with other people - everything is fine. I don't even know what else to try =\

I have the Heroes Platinum Edition, and it crashes on Windows XP with an error after 5 minutes of gameplay. What should I do?

Does your CPU usage reach 100%?
If so, there's a patch in my signature (if you have a pirated copy and run it without a disc, you'll need a disc or an image file).
If the problem isn't CPU usage, try reinstalling your video drivers and DirectX. If that doesn't help, try buying a legitimate copy of the game.

How exactly does it crash? Does it display an error message?

Experienced players, please advise on these three questions:

1) How can I detach the game from the disc so that everything works without the disc, and not just joining a server? Does anyone have a link to such a utility? I have Platinum 4.0.
2) Is it possible to make WOG and WOG TE available for download as updates from Platinum? If so, how?
3) To play in ranked mode, is it enough to register on the forum and then report, or do I need to register separately somewhere?

P.S. There is not enough information and links on the main page about this (playing ranked online), so I have to search the forum for a long time.

Thank you!

Yes, you can. Read here.

Yes, registering is sufficient, which you have already successfully done.

All the links are in this thread.

Here is an example of settings for Routers:

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 starting a game, ending a turn, another player ending a turn, etc... it worked fine. BUT! When we later started a game, and a turn was longer than 1-2 mins, the sending data froze again.
I thought that the problem is my router closes the port because it sees that there is no data flow. 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.
I'm tired of the connection problem... I have the same problem as many others:
I can't connect with 101 people from my contact list, but I can connect with 132 people... I think the problem is in the router (because without it, I can connect with everyone - I checked). But it's hard to remove the router - it provides Wi-Fi at home - and it's inconvenient to run cables around the apartment.

So, I read about router settings. Opening specific ports for the game won't work - the game uses a lot of ports!
They say that only DMZ helps... but it doesn't work for me either - either it's glitching with Hamachi, or something else.

Added after 2 hours 24 minutes
I think I solved the connection problem - at least I quickly connected and played with the person I couldn't connect with before.

The problem was that in the network connections, I had a gateway - Windows XP determined my router as such... and this gateway was filtering something... in the router settings, I disabled UPNP - this is in my D-Link, in the Tools-Misc tab.

And I set up DMZ to my IP. :smile44:

And I configured the DMZ for my IP address. :smile44: [QUOTE] Can you explain this line? When you say "for my IP," are you referring to the one in your local network, Hamachi, or even your internet IP?

Well, I configured the DMZ for my IP.

Can you explain this line? "For my IP" - does that mean the one in your local network, or Hamachi, or even your internet IP?[/QUOTE]
There's the internet address, for example, 99.200.10.32.
There's the Hamachi address, like 5.x.x.x.
And there's the local computer's address, like 10.0.1.1.

In the DMZ, you need to specify the local computer's address, i.e., 10.0.1.1.

Thank you. I'll try.

Added 7 hours and 33 minutes later
Excellent! EVERYTHING WORKS!
Now, I just need to learn how to connect without using a direct IP. Just so it shows up on the local network. But that's a secondary issue.

Thank you!

Please help! When playing against an opponent online, the following bug occurs: when I attack the opponent, the battle is not displayed for them; in other words, I am in the battle, but the opponent is not! I don't know what to do; I've already tried almost everything... If anyone knows how to fix this, please write to me on ICQ 350941084.
