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)

What should I do? Please advise!
The bug you described during combat has occurred before, but usually, after a restart, everything was fine... (I assume you've already tried this).
Sometimes, the map itself was buggy... you need to abandon this save and start a new game.
If this happens again, have another player be the server (create the game).
P.S. In general, you need to test different options... check the game and Hamachi versions again (version 1.0.1.5 is better).

Both players must have the same version of the Hamachi program!
Doubtful statement. Isn't it true that everyone uses the same version, for example, 1.0.1.5? I started with it once, then upgraded to 1.0.2.0, and then to 1.0.2.5, and I always played normally... There were connection problems, but not in some random way... After various observations, I came to the conclusion that 1.0.1.5 is the best because it is less protected and more buggy, so the connection is always good, but 1.0.2.5 sometimes didn't allow me to connect... P.S. Isn't it true that everyone is using Hamachi version 1.0.1.5 now? (at least with whom I played). I think that, just like the version of the game itself, the Hamachi version doesn't necessarily have to be the same, although there may sometimes be problems for this reason.

By the way, let me remind you of another important thing: the versions of the Hamachi program must also be exactly the same for both players! Therefore, you should definitely not install any updates. If you are playing not with one or two friends, but in a fairly large network, a serious problem may occur. You might unknowingly say "yes" to automatic updates, and then you will be surprised where the problems and disconnections come from. You will have to go through the hassle of re-downloading and installing the old version.

I assume you're speaking from personal experience, which means I can trust you :) It's just that in two rather large gaming communities (Fortress, Red Alert), it's common to use the same version of Hamachi because users with older, un-upgraded versions will often disconnect from games created by users with the latest version. Maybe this isn't right, "the latest version wins," but in a way, this approach is more friendly...
Of course, the new version of Hamachi won't "block" games for users with older versions. But the opposite situation happens very often.

Please advise, if anyone knows, how to solve the problem: Heroes 3 (version 4.0 Platinum) when playing through Hamachi 1.3.0.0, everything connects normally, we see each other, we start the game, and it seems to be fine, but during the first or second battle with neutral troops, the system reports that the second player has left the game. There were no actions from him during his turn. We tried everything: checked and changed Hamachi settings, disabled firewalls, opened ports... we searched through a lot of websites, but we couldn't find a solution... please help, thank you in advance.

Please help. My friend and I decided to play together through Hamachi. We both seem to be connected in Hamachi, but in the game, I can't connect to him. I can see the game he created, but I can't join it. It says "an error occurred during the connection," and it happens every time. What should we do?

Please help. My friend and I decided to play through Hamachi; we all seem to be connected in it, but in Heroes, I can't connect to him. That is, I see the created game, but I can't join; it says that an error occurred during connection, and this happens every time. What should I do????
For a first try, it would be good to search for topics like "questions about playing through Hamachi" or "how to play Heroes 3 online" – you will find threads with relevant answers at the very top...
Regarding the problem:
Most likely, the firewall is interfering; it might also be related to the router. Contact me on ICQ: 375572427.
Or, it’s easier to read here: /topic/3165/
He just sees the landscape and a message saying that Player (Me) is taking their turn... What should I do? Please advise!
First of all, I recommend disabling the firewall and setting the primary priority to the Hamachi adapter. If that doesn't help, try installing either Platinum (from one disc) or Breath of Fire for both players because problems may occur due to different distributions. If even that doesn't help, try replacing Hamachi with another similar program; everything can be found in my signature.
The versions of the Hamachi program must also be exactly the same for both players!
You need to check this - but this is the first time I have heard that version differences in Hamachi cause synchronization issues

Neither of us has a firewall installed, but we're both using version 3.0 of Heroes of Might and Magic: The Shadow of Death.

Windows has the Windows Firewall service. It's a firewall. Probably? Install patch 3.2.

Dear users, please explain to a newbie how to properly set up a game if I want to play online with a friend. The problem is that it constantly says that the IP address cannot be found. I have The Shadow of Death. Please provide a step-by-step guide. I would be very grateful.

Hello everyone! I've been playing Heroes for almost 7 years. I decided to start playing online. I've read this forum, but I didn't find answers to all my questions (or maybe I didn't look hard enough). Here are a few questions, if you don't mind.
1. Which version of Heroes do I actually need? I have the third one from Buka, it's a licensed copy from 2001 (brought from Russia), but the patch doesn't install, and if I replace the executable with one from this site, the game glitches. What should I do? Should I look for a newer version of Heroes?
2. What difficulty level do you play on? 160% or 200%? What maps do you play on? S, L, M, or XL?
3. Is a 52 kbps connection speed enough for online play?

Hello, gentlemen. Here's the question.
My friend and I have the same version of Heroes 3 - 4.0.0.0. We want to play over a network using Hamachi.
He creates a map, I connect to him via TCP/IP, and everything seems to be working fine. But then this happens: He takes his turn, passes the turn to me, and when I finish my turn, a blue bar appears with the inscription "sending data 86%", and everything freezes. After a while, "Data transfer error. Try again?" appears. Retrying doesn't help.
What could be the problem?

We have the same problem, but we're not playing through "Hamachi," we just create a game, and it only happens when playing with 3 players; if we play with 2, everything is fine... We'd also like to know what the problem is.
