Recently, a friend and I started playing Heroes of Might and Magic over Hamachi. Everything was fine, it worked. Until I attacked him in a castle. Out of three attempts to finish the battle (in different scenarios, sometimes I attacked him, sometimes he attacked me in the same castle), none were successful. It just shows that his unit is moving, and he sees that my unit is moving. And that's it.
Maybe there's a patch, or some settings? People play Heroes of Might and Magic online normally, as far as I know. Or should I install Armageddon's Blade?
A lot of time has passed since the topic was created, and the author's question still hasn't been answered. Does anyone know how to fix this bug?

I had SOD 3.2, downloaded WOG 3.58f, and updated it, following all the instructions – it works. I decided to play online – it also works, but sometimes it displays "String not found" and doesn't always show one of the players which week it is; it just shows that it's a new week, but doesn't indicate whose turn it is, for example, if it's the turn of the spearmen and they get bonus stats – it doesn't show this to one player, but it does to the other. But that's not a big deal, it can be overlooked. The main problem is that when you start fighting an opponent, i.e., another person, the synchronization is lost, and it turns out that the first player sees the second player's turn flashing, and the second player sees the first player's turn flashing, and neither of them can take a turn. Also, it shows differently who moved and who killed whom. In general, it becomes a mess, which eventually freezes the game. Thank you in advance.

local network, two computers are placed next to each other. One has Windows XP, and the other has Windows Vista.

Both players should reinstall the game according to the instructions.
WoG installation order:
1) Install The Shadow of Death (recommended) or the Platinum Edition, or a previous version of WoG.
2) When installing The Shadow of Death, the directory is selected automatically (at least, that's how it works for me), so move all the contents of the Heroes folder to a folder whose path consists ENTIRELY of Latin letters, for example, C:\Games\Heroes III WoG
3) Extract all files from the allion1 archive into the allion1 folder, where a file named wog358f.part01 with the WoG icon and files with the RAR extension will appear.
4) Run wog358f.part01, and then confirm the path for extracting the files (by default, this is the WogInstall folder, which will be created in the allion1 folder).
5) After unpacking, the WogInstall folder will appear, which should be moved to the C:\Games\Heroes III WoG folder.
6) Run the install file from the WogInstall folder. After a while, a menu for selecting the language will appear, and then a window with the inscription "welcome" - click the "next" button.
A window with the "list of found components" and 3 buttons: "change patch", "install", and "cancel" will appear.
7) Click "change patch", and in the window that opens, specify the path to the Heroes folder (C:\Games\Heroes III WoG) and click "ok".
8) After clicking "ok", the "list of found components" window will appear again - click "install".
After the WoG installation procedure, you will, of course, need to install the Russian language pack. To do this:
1) Extract the 3 files with the wog extension from the rubeta358f archive.
2) Move these files to the C:\Games\Heroes III WoG\update directory.
3) Run the H3Wupd.exe file in the C:\Games\Heroes III WoG folder.
Then, follow the same steps as when installing WoG.
My observations show that this may help with desynchronization, but these are just my observations.
P.S. WoG and the Russian language pack can be found in the useful links in my signature.

Hello everyone on the forum. I really need your help. I have two computers, and both have the same version of the game installed. We want to play over the network. We first configured Hamachi, then OpenVPN. An IP address is assigned. We changed the priority in the network connections so that the correct IP address is displayed in the game. Both computers have Windows SP3. I create a game, my friend sees it, but he can't join. It gives an error, a connection failure. We've tried everything, but nothing works. What could be the problem? What services might need to be enabled/disabled, how should it be configured, maybe some ports need to be set up? The modems are DLS 2540u and DLS 500T. I've searched the entire internet, but I can't solve this problem. By the way, my modem has 4 ports, and I tried connecting 2 computers. The same thing happens. Then I disconnected the phone cable so that there was no internet access, and everything worked. But the problem is that the two computers are located at a great distance. Thank you in advance for your help.

We tried everything, but nothing worked.
Disable all firewalls (if you have installed any – exception rules don't work, you need to disable them!), including the Windows firewall (this is a service).
The same applies to antivirus software.
Try connecting through a third player – this is the last resort if nothing else helps.
Try using an alternative internet connection (you need 5 minutes for testing).
Firewalls can also be present in routers and DSL modems!
And try to reinstall the game strictly according to the instructions (see useful links).

Hey, can someone help me?!
I'm installing additional scripts and everything, but they don't work.
Or, if they suddenly start working, errors pop up, and I get kicked out!
I have WoG 3.58f.

I don't think I'm the only one who has encountered the problem of Heroes 3.58 freezing.
It mostly freezes during battles.
Especially when the computer starts to lose.
It feels like it decides to restart itself.
Could it be due to some setting?
Does anyone know for sure?

I had this problem because of enhanced combat animations, especially the tent. It responds to attacks, and sometimes even runs away.
