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)

How to play Heroes 3 over the internet?

The following answers were received on HeroesWorld regarding this question:

Solution #1:(For those who live in the same city. This method is very interesting because you won't have to spend money on the Internet!)

Step 1 - Create a connection. (perhaps the most difficult step)
For the server: Go to the control panel, then network connections. Create a new connection => set up a direct connection to another computer => accept incoming connections => (here select your modem, checking its settings) => allow virtual private connections => create a new user, check the box (for example, username – 1, password 1 ), disable everything else => check all boxes, go to the properties of "Internet Protocol", check the box next to "specify TCP/IP addresses explicitly," enter 169.254.0.1 in the "From" field, and 169.254.0.2 in the "To" field; the number two should appear in the total field, and now check the bottom box. That’s it for the server.
For the client: Create a connection (as if connecting to the internet), use the same password and username as the server (remember, mine are 1 and 1 ), and enter the server's phone number.
Step 2: Connect.
Now, the client needs to connect to the server through the created connection. After two computers appear in the taskbar, open Heroes.
Step 3:
For the server: Go into multiplayer mode, then select tcp/ip, press Host, enter your name and password (but don't forget to tell the client). Wait for the client.
For the client: Go into multiplayer mode, then select tcp/ip, press Find Host (enter the server's IP address 169.254.0.1 or 169.254.0.2 there), and that's it – you can start playing.

You can also do this even if you live in different cities (then skip step one); everything else is done the same way, only the client enters the server's IP address and password (which he must of course provide)...


Solution #2:
(universal solution)

For the server. Immediately go into the game, go into multiplayer mode, then select "modem" (it’s below the TCP/IP game), then "host," and wait.
For the client: At the same time, immediately go into the game, go into multiplayer mode, then select "modem" (it’s below the TCP/IP game), press connect, enter the server's phone number, and that's it!
For the server, when the client starts calling, press answer. That's it; you can play.

This method has a drawback in that the established connection may be very poor, and you will often be kicked out of the game (although this depends on your telephone exchange), so save more often!

Solution #5: (playing using the Wippien program)

The program is a worthy alternative to Hamachi and can be considered a more convenient option.

You can download the program here (1.97MB).

After installing the program, all players need to create an account within the program itself; after that, each player must add everyone else to their contact list. Once created, this account can also be used later after reinstalling the program. The IP addresses of each participant are displayed in the contacts window of the program.
After that, you can enter the game and play as if it were a regular local network.

There is a great program (Russian version) that allows you to play HoMM (all versions) online.
http://files.hamachi.cc/HamachiSetup-0.9.9.9-ru.exe
, even if you have a proxy and no external IP! You can read a more detailed description here or on the Heroes League forum in the topic "All about Online!" http://forum.heroesleague.ru/viewtopic.php?p=27493#27493

But you can also play offline! Download a save, play, and send it. This saves time!

I'm not quite sure what's going on with this Humachi. I have Windows XP SP2, and the firewall is disabled, but the program says that port 67 is blocked by your firewall – please fix it and try again. But it's disabled – I can't figure out what the problem is... The idea about using this program is good, though – maybe we could set up a permanent network for our portal using Humachi. [The name is quite funny] :):):)

Wow, this is a great thing! I've been looking for something like this for a long time!

I'm playing through this program right now, and I'm enjoying it! :
If anyone wants to play, write me a private message!

I downloaded this "HAMACHI", but during installation, I get a "memory access error". Maybe it's designed for other versions of Windows, and I have Windows 98. Does anyone know anything about this? :confused:

Why even play online?
Hamachi helps you play various games online, including Heroes 3. This is not a game itself; you cannot play it. It is a program for connecting two or more computers via the internet!

In principle, this program is just a tool to help. If it doesn't work, you can exchange save files via email. That's how I and a friend played 3 maps in Haven together over 2 years!

Perhaps we could create an FAQ about Hamachi on the forum... Because rushing around the internet looking for information isn't exactly enjoyable either!

Perhaps it would be a good idea to create an FAQ and provide two links at once: one for downloading and one for the description. However, it's unclear whether it will be possible to identify all the bugs in it.

Damn, it doesn't run on Windows 98 ME; it says an invalid operation was performed and will be terminated! :(

Am I understanding correctly that I need to click on this to play online: "mplaynow.exe"?
Is that right?
