Check your computer for viruses or buy a good Heroes game disc.

I checked for viruses, and everything seems fine. But finding a legitimate copy of the game is a problem – it's impossible to find one in my city. There are only pirated copies everywhere. Is there any program that can extract the files from the game?

where do you live? that's the first thing.
secondly, you can order the disc, and thirdly, there's the "Heroes Complete Collection" or the "New Year's Edition" and other versions, which are all licensed copies.

Is it possible to set a resolution different from the ones offered in the settings menu? I want to play on a laptop, and its resolution is 1280x960. For Heroes III, there is a special patch that allows you to play with any resolution. Is there something similar for HoMM IV?

There are no such patches for the fourth game. I used to play on a laptop with that resolution. There were no images on the edges. You get used to it quickly.

Try unchecking the "Fullscreen" box in the settings. It might help. In the early versions of Heroes 4, this option wasn't available. I just opened Escalibur, and it's there now.

Hello! :)
Please help me figure this out:
  1. Laptop: Acer Extensa 5620
  2. Operating System: Win7
  3. RAM: 2 GB
  4. KIS 9.0.0.736
  5. Heroes of Might and Magic® IV The Gathering Storm™, licensed version.
It worked fine on XP, but that was on a desktop computer.
Windows 7 has been running without problems for 9 months.

The installation process goes smoothly.
It displays an error message when launching: "unable to install driver"
And then nothing... it's as if it didn't even launch. :confused:

I believe it's more likely a technical issue in my overactive, childlike mind. So, the problem is that:
1. I lost the installation disc for Heroes 4, only the game disc remains, and of course, it's acting up. It only displays the initial splash screen and nothing else. (Yeah, that happens).
2. I really want to play because I haven't played in 5 years, which means I need to find a solution and finally play +_+
3. I have Windows 7, so I need some kind of patch for it because I don't want to get a bad result after all my hard work and downloading the game :D
And that's why I'm turning to you, dear people, hoping you'll understand, share my sorrows, and give me a good link to download/patch :smile08:

Therefore, I'm asking you, kind people, to understand, share my concerns, and provide me with a good link to download/patch.
Everything works fine on Windows 7 without a patch. There shouldn't be any problems. Install Whirlwinds of War (the latest version 3.0.0.2), and then you can install the Equilibrium mod (since it's used in tournaments). If you need links, write to me in a private message, and I'll help you set everything up and install it.

Hello! The problem is as follows: I installed Heroes 4 some time ago, then uninstalled it. Now I want to play again, and I'm trying to install it from the same disc on the same laptop, but the installation doesn't even start. I downloaded the disc image – the same thing happens. I cleaned the registry (using CCleaner, Regedit, and Regcleaner) – but it had no effect; the installation still doesn't start. What else could be the problem?

Try installing the game on another computer, and then copy the entire folder with the installed game to your computer.

Okay, I'll try it tomorrow and let you know if it worked.
Thank you!

Everyone encounters problems. I've seen many glitches myself. Here's one of them: in the licensed version of Heroes 4, in the "Asylum" map, if you click on the dungeon, the game crashes.

PLEASE HELP!!!! AUTOSAVE WORKED BEFORE, BUT NOW IT DOESN'T. HOW DO I ENABLE IT? AND ALSO, HOW DO I CLEAR THE LIST OF SAVED GAMES? I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

I clean up the list by manually deleting unnecessary save files from the games folder – I haven't found another way to do it (like in Heroes of Might and Magic III). Autosave saves the current and previous turn (at the end of the turn, when clicking on the clock icon); otherwise, I save manually. I don't think there's an option to disable autosaving.
