Posts from Heroes 3 issues under XP or Vista.Auto-translated
HELP!!! How do I install and run Heroes 3 Platinum 4.0 under Vista? My new laptop won't run the game; what compatibility settings should I use? I've tried setting compatibility to XP, but it doesn't help.
I've tried changing the compatibility to XP and other settings. All I've managed to do is make the screen go dark, like during a normal Heroes loading sequence, and then it pops up in a window with an error message, suggesting I search for a solution online, and that's it! I've tried patching it and running it without patching, but it doesn't work. I'm going to try installing The Shadow of Death and In the Wake of Gods.
Based on the error message, we can assume the following: The .cpp file is a source code file for functions in C++. Based on the file name, we can assume that this is a function responsible for remote connection. A rough picture of the cause of the error emerges – this function is incompatible with a 64-bit system. Have you even looked at the file it's complaining about? Have you tried searching for the error online? Look, find this remote.cpp file and upload it somewhere, or send it to me by email – I'm just curious. What other games don't work and what errors do they produce?
There is no Remote.cpp, just like there is no Hero3.prj. Something is wrong here; why is it referencing an error in a non-existent file? Maybe it needs this file to be provided? However, I found this remote.cpp in the computer's books, and it seems to be in C++

No, this file is in pure English and states that it is part of the WinLIRC package, which was taken from LIRC (apparently, documentation from a software package for some infrared remote control). It says that this software is free software and can be freely distributed and/or modified because it falls under the GNU GPL license, etc., etc. I don't think it makes sense to write any further about what else it says. But regarding your problem with HoMM and Vista, I assure you that this file has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Windows is most likely complaining about some other Remote.cpp, probably a system file of Windows itself. It might not even be a separate file, but rather some function in a system library.
And honestly, I don't even know how I can help you in this case... but I know something that might ;). It's called Google! But I still think that you simply installed something incorrectly. Have you tried installing the game, specifically this version, on other systems/machines? Does it work? It's also possible that it's a bug in Windows itself, because it's something that will glitch and won't tell you properly why it's glitching. Try reinstalling Windows. That's the only way - seven troubles, one solution - reinstallation, :D. There's nothing else you can do. That's how people solve problems with it.
:smile52: :smile52: :smile52:... aemghmk... I apologize... mdam. No, this file is in perfectly clear English.
I just showed you the comments :smile25: of course, they are not in C++ :smile54: I can send the whole file. If it's a function, then why is there a cpp extension? Or is it just the name? I'll try running it on my HTPC later and let you know what happens. Google didn't help me at all; I spent half a day on it, and the problem hasn't been solved anywhere else. Reinstalling doesn't help; it works on XP, and I've tried different versions of the game (Heroes of Might and Magic and Dungeon Siege). I suspect it's an incompatibility with x64 or just buggy games (both of them).
Hey guys, I downloaded a few maps for Heroes 3. The problem is, they won't launch. When I open them in the editor, it says my version is 28, but version 51 is required! What does this mean, and where can I get version 51? Thanks in advance!

You probably downloaded maps for the "Wake of Gods" expansion.
Okay, so here's the problem with Heroes 3: The Shadow of Death: it's almost the same as everyone else's. I have Windows XP and DirectX 9.0c. The first launch after installation or reinstallation takes about 3-5 minutes, and I can even manage to play a couple of battles. All subsequent launches are much faster, to the point where I can click a couple of buttons in the main menu and that's it. The game freezes, the music freezes, and the only way to close this mess is through the Task Manager. I read the whole thread, tried to find where to put a checkmark for compatibility, but there's nothing. There's no such option for me. Not a word about compatibility in the shortcut properties. Then I tried installing patches. I checked the game version: 3.0. I ran the patch from 3.0 to 3.2. Everything seemed to be patched to 100%. I check the version: it's still 3.0. Then I tried this natasha
Often, when installing Heroes, if they weren't properly written to the disk, there are difficulties. Sometimes this small file - a registry file - helps! Or this small crack.
but it didn't help either. Can anyone help me? I have a cracked version from Buka. What should I do? My childhood game doesn't want to save me from boredom again... :( I'm feeling down...
If the system is x64, the problem lies in this – the game is designed for x86. If you have a multi-core processor, the problem may be related to the game not interacting correctly with the processor. It is recommended to download the CpuControl program, which will automatically distribute processes across the cores.
my processor has only one core I'm interested in: 1) where can I see if my system is x64 or not? 2) what can be done if the problem is indeed related to this? 3) what else could be causing the problem besides what was mentioned above? I'm still feeling down :( ...
x64 refers to 64-bit processors, and as far as I understand, the processor's bus type itself doesn't say much – you need to install Windows that supports 64-bit processors. You can check which Windows version is compatible in the properties of my computer (I think this information is there). Most likely, the processor type is not the issue here – try installing the game from a different distribution, or better yet, a different version, such as the Platinum Edition.
maybe my few words will shed some light on the situation, if you don't mind)
all modern processors are generally x86_64 - that is, they are 64-bit architecture by definition. however, people mostly have operating systems installed for the x86 (32-bit) architecture, although these same processors can quite easily run under an x86_64 OS. therefore, the user may very well have exactly such a system. and in that case, there really may be problems, because the HoMM3 application is 32-bit.
if I remember correctly, you can find out the type of OS by launching the command line (press win+r -> type cmd there -> press enter), and then run systeminfo there. system information will be displayed, and you should look for a line that says something like "system type: x86-based PC" - this will mean that the system is 32-bit. if it says something like amd64, or x86_64 - then it is a 64-bit system)
and if the OS is indeed 32-bit, then a problem may arise... hmm, I don't even know what to advise)). because Windows is a very "smart" OS, and it doesn't even have any self-diagnosis tools, it practically doesn't write the causes of failures, and I don't think anyone would be interested in digging through the software with a debugger))) usually, if it is not possible to identify the problem by trial and error - as is known - "seven troubles, one solution": reinstallation :D and there can be many reasons - from a corrupted game distribution, to a hardware conflict - for example, a simple overheating, a faulty driver. although "hardware" problems under Windows are most often accompanied by the legendary BSOD phenomenon, but that is not a certainty. and besides - if some other applications (other games, for example) do not cause similar problems, then everything should be fine with that... well, in general, see what architecture your OS is - that should make things clearer :) SandroXXL
If the system is x64, then the problem lies in this, Heroes is designed for x86. If there is a multi-core processor, then the problem may be related to the fact that the game interacts incorrectly with the processor. It is recommended to download the CpuControl program, which will distribute processes to cores itself.
wow)) if such software really exists for Windows, then I have no words.... and yes, since HoMM3 is an old game, I don't think it can use more than one core, and perhaps it is not possible to influence this in any way, and it is not really necessary).
p.s. I don't think there is an x64 architecture, right? - as far as I know, 64-bit is usually denoted as either x86_64 or amd64. although I may be wrong.
Damn, guys, I'm even more bummed than before! :( I've been searching and downloading the platinum edition of Heroes 3 for three days, and I still have the same problem! It's really annoying... Turns out it's an x86 issue, so that's not the problem. The processor is also fine, so we can rule that out too. Now I'm wondering what can be done with the platinum version of Heroes (4.0). Shouldn't there be different solutions here? Help me if you can. I'm waiting for help from experts and just knowledgeable people... Still bummed :(
