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)

[Download] Description of the method in a doc file (opens in Microsoft Word)

I also have Heroes: In the Wake of Gods. But it doesn't have any commanders or anything else that's in Heroes 3. What version is this?

It seems to be one of the early versions of Heroes 3.5. I had something similar once. Of the new features from Heroes 3.5, it only included support for ERM, a few new monsters, artifacts, and campaigns.

Yesterday, a friend and I downloaded Heroes of Might and Magic III: In the Wake of Gods. We installed it, set up identical Hamachi connections, but when we try to play in TCP/IP mode, it doesn't work. When one of us creates a game, the other can't see the IP address. When the other creates a game, the same thing happens. We're in the same Hamachi room, which should be working fine. In the game, when selecting a server, should the Hamachi IP address be displayed in the TCP/IP section? It's frustrating because we used to play without any issues. What needs to be done to get it working? Maybe there's a Hamachi registry setting or something else that needs to be adjusted?

In general, I have a question. How do I access the network adapter priority list in Vista and Windows 7?

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Hamachi and play on two computers through a single modem, connected via USB and LAN? When I create a network on one computer and connect to it from the other, I get the error message: "Unfortunately, an error occurred while establishing the connection."

Problem: We can't play online with a friend.
We both have ADSL modems and no dedicated IP.
1. Playing through GameSpy:
We log in, I create a room, he joins, I click "Launch Game"... and a menu opens for me where I can configure the map (WITHOUT ANY GAME STARTUP AT ALL, although they say you can't skip it, but we don't even have it), and for him, only the game logo "Heroes: Complete Edition" appears on the left, and there's no menu on the right... Then he gets a "Connection Error" (Timeout).
2. Playing through Hamachi 2:
We created a network, we can see each other (using "Check Availability"). We both log into the game, I'm the server, and he can't find me, even when entering the address, it says "Timeout".

Our computer configurations:
Internet: ADSL for both, and neither of us has a dedicated IP.
Operating System: I have Windows 7, he has XP.
Game Version: Initially, we tried "Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete" (4.0), and it worked as described above.
Then we installed The Shadow of Death 3.0 - through GameSpy, it doesn't work at all, and through Hamachi, the same problem.
We disabled all firewalls, both standard and installed ones.
Network priority is set so that Hamachi is at the top.
Game versions are IDENTICAL (Installed from the same disc on the same day =)).
We also tried "switching roles," he's the server, I'm the client, and vice versa.

Question: What should we do?

If you have The Shadow of Death 3.0, they say you need the 3.2 version executable for online play. Check here: http://wforum.heroes35.net/showthread.php?tid=747&pid=16253#pid16253
Russian version of the "The Shadow of Death" executable v3.2
It was made from the English version. The buttons are slightly out of place (there's an explanation why), but it works as it should.

First, let your friend with XP be the server - there will be fewer problems.
Second, if the firewall is disabled and the server is still not visible, you can look for firewalls in the modem; they are almost always there.
Disable any antivirus programs - this can also interfere with the game.
I recommend using the Complete Edition; it's a more pleasant version of the game, although this is just my opinion.
If nothing works, I suggest trying XP with XP, even if it's just in a virtual machine; this will increase your chances.
I don't know if you can install IPX on Windows 7, but if you can, I suggest trying that too.
I can't think of anything else right now. Write to me on Skype - we'll try together. And here's another thing: sometimes, there's just no connection between two people, no matter what you do... it's rare, but it happens - try to find a third person who will create the game and then leave.

Good day, I have a question. Today, I was playing online with a friend, but his game crashed. I saved the game, but how can I load it? We can only start over, but we've already played so much! Today, I want to play 2 vs. 2, but it seems impossible now.

Question.
If I have one account for Heroes of Might and Magic, and two PCs connected to the network via a router, can they play against each other in TCP/IP mode?
