I have the English version of Heroes III Platinum, specifically version 4.0. How can I make it display Russian fonts correctly?

I think the easiest way is to install the Russian Platinum edition...

Found a solution – to make the English version recognize Russian fonts, simply place the fonts from the archive into the Data folder. The archive is attached.

I don't like localizations.

Hello, gentlemen. I'm trying to play Heroes over a local network. I have two IP addresses. On one, I create a network game; on the other, I can see that it exists, but it freezes at the connection stage, simply displaying "Attempting to connect," and it doesn't go any further. What could be the problem? The firewall is off, and the antivirus isn't blocking the connection.

firewall is off, antivirus doesn't block connections.
I recommend turning it off. Is it a local network - computer - computer, or is a router being used? If a router is being used, try turning off the firewall on it. You can also enable the IPX protocol - it usually works in a local network, but don't forget to set the network priority if it hasn't been set.

Today, after the post was published, everything strangely started working. I finally managed to play.
On both computers, I disabled the firewall as a service (Windows XP).
It's a standard local network with a switch.
Thank you for responding.

I've encountered similar problems, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. There can be many reasons for this. The simplest solution is to combine TCP and IPX if possible. You can also try killing dplaysrv.exe on the machine that's acting as the server and entering the IP address manually.

sorry
I would like to return to the issue of 100% CPU usage.
Platinum 4.0
ewgeniy

Patch that fixes 100% CPU usage.
So, the patch works, thanks.
But the game requires a disc, i.e., I can't host it.
ewgeniy

Due to numerous requests, here is a patch for those whose game disc is damaged.
This patch cannot be installed :(

P.S. I am an honest user :) everything I have is licensed.
And I damaged the disc.
Are there any other ideas besides buying a new disc?

PS I am a very honest user; everything I have is licensed.
The simplest solution is a disk image; write to me on Skype, and I'll give you a link to a tracker where you can find it.

I'm a bit slow, and I couldn't find anything by searching the forum, and Google didn't give me any useful results. The problem: when I launch the game, it crashes with a message saying that there isn't enough disk space. Of course, there's plenty of space. I've tried changing the free space on the disk, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and restarting my computer, but the error persists. Question: is it possible to fix this without reinstalling the game? Everything was working fine until today. It's the unpatched version, straight from the disc. P.S. - When registering, the month and date of birth fields seem to be set up for a female name, as March is treated as a feminine noun. Thanks in advance for your help.

I've tried changing the amount of free space on the disk, removing the game, and restarting – the error persists.
My question is, is it possible to fix this without reinstalling the game? Everything was working fine until today. It's an unpatched version, just the base game from the disc.

P.S. – When registering, the month and date of birth fields seem to treat March as a feminine noun, which is incorrect.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

You know, when I had this error, it helped when I deleted all the save files in the "Game" folder of Heroes, even though there was plenty of free space.

I couldn't find a similar one anywhere. All my games work, the 3D Mark test works. But when I launch Heroes — I have Windows 7 64. Video card is 460Gtx
so, when I launch Heroes — everything is ok. And if I move the mouse slowly — also ok. As soon as I start moving it faster — one-pixel dotted lines appear on the screen — as if the cursor was stretched across the entire screen, like an image from 64x64 resolution to 1280x64, and these artifacts accumulate when moving the mouse :smile39:

by the way, all of this applies to Heroes 3 — it can be moved. I didn't notice

Atarion, the reason is most likely in the drivers for your video card. Try to find and install a different version (newer or, conversely, older) – it might help. It is known that drivers can have errors that cannot be detected by simple tests, but they "appear" later in practice. :(

NEED HELP! We're playing Heroes 3.58 with friends over Hamachi, but during battles, it always shows that the opponent is taking their turn, even when it's my turn, and vice versa for my friend. We've reinstalled different versions of Heroes and tried using different computers. Please advise on what to do!
