Posts from HoMM3 HD is a mod (add-on) for the game Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

[+] All (!) original "not me" bugs have been fixed, which allowed players to obtain 'extra' information about the opponent in online play.

[+] An option "Fix gameplay bugs" has been added to HiRez.ini.

If the option is enabled, you cannot peek at your opponent or sell artifacts at an inflated price. But you can find out if this option is enabled for your opponent:
In the main screen of the adventure manager, press [F2], a request will be sent to your opponents, and a message will appear in the chat: "[request was sent]". If your opponent (e.g., BLUE) has HD 2.58 (or higher) installed and the bug-fixing option is also enabled, you will receive confirmation from them: "[BLUE - Ok (2.58)]". If the opponent has the option disabled, or is using an earlier version of HD, or is not using HD at all, you will not receive confirmation from them.

If the option is disabled (on your side), you can peek at your opponent and use the bug to sell artifacts at an inflated price.

[+] (test mode) An option "No wait playing sounds" has been added to HiRez.ini, which allows you to play with "parallelized" sounds, which noticeably speeds up the entire game if you play with sounds enabled.

Regarding the duplication issue, instead of removing this bug, you could try to create a fix for it.

Asm said that this is because the hero is stored in the save file (and in memory) in two places – in the list of heroes and in the list of map objects. The duplication occurs because the coordinates in one place differ from the coordinates in the other, causing one of the copies to "stick."

Consequently, it can be fixed by removing the copy that remains on the map. It's a bit more complicated with castles if the hero duplicates while inside (this often happens with the AI).

In other words, instead of eliminating the cause of the bug, you can create a fix that is applied when the bug occurs.

Satyr, you should test him first. By the way, what can you do in 8 minutes? Very interesting.

Satyr, I should probably test him out first. By the way, what exactly can be done in 8 minutes? I'm very curious.

In Heroes of Might and Magic HD, the hero menu doesn't open on the map if the hero is below fifth in the list. You can open it from the hero's window, by control-clicking on the portrait. It's not critical; I think it might not even need to be fixed. Just mention it in the mod's information, otherwise, you have to study the in-game manual for the technical details.

[+] Fixed the "Disguise" spell:

Now, the spell makes sense for all players to use:
The effect of the spell wears off before the start of the next turn of the casting player, and not, as in the original, after the end of the turn of the 'last' player.
The Disguise fix is enabled if the "Fix gameplay bugs" option is enabled in HiRez.ini (i.e., just like the fix for selling artifacts and the fix for peeking).
If some players have the bug fix option enabled and others don't, Disguise will behave either as before or as new (depending on the order of players), but in any case, it will be predictable and bug-free.

[-] "Zeros" appeared when performing some quick operations with creature stacks.

[-] Computer-controlled hero was able to jump across the entire map using the "Dimension Door" spell. (now jumps within the same range as in the original game)
[-] The "Flood" spell affected the entire map. (now works as in the original game)
[-] Critical bug with "parallel" sounds (when the corresponding option is enabled).
