Posts from HoMM3 HD is a mod (add-on) for the game Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
1. Write all the resize code yourself, or, as a last resort, redraw all the graphics with higher quality. Go for it! 2. Play true SoD and not even think about the HD mod 3. Bang your head against the wall think about how "naughty" those developers are and grieve while hiding your resentment 4. Resign yourself to it and play as is, and may the force be with you!
P.S. strikeout doesn't work, but I think everyone understands what I wanted to write
although one could also [carefully hidden thoughts][/carefully hidden thoughts]
and dear OP, don't take this personally... it's just that there is no logic in your ramblings, yet you somehow decided to demand/criticize
For owners of monitors with high resolutions, work has been underway for some time to resize the image in real time. For example, so that it would be possible to set 1180x664 and play in fullscreen on a 1920x1080 monitor. But a solution that is both fast and visually appealing has not yet been implemented.
I have several problems at once... I'll start in order. XP, ADSL connection via D-Link modem. Internet speed 256kbps. Latest version of Hamachi, GR, SoD with a patched exe, complete Russian collection.
1. I can't start as host either through Hamachi or GR, but when connecting via GR, if I enter a room created by another player and they give me priority to start the game, the game launches and we see each other, but I have no settings and only various fixes are listed (as if there is no generator, although in single player I can freely set options and maps are generated). Other players don't see me on the network, while I, in turn, can connect to them. 2. After installing the HD mod and some manipulations, possibly incorrect ones, the game stopped launching in full-screen mode. Moreover, this mod was reinstalled multiple times and I tried different options there. Eventually, I deleted it, reinstalled the game, and even later downloaded the complete collection, but in that one too, after installation, the game launches in non-full-screen mode. Can anyone tell me how to get everything back? System Restore doesn't help, and I'm not considering wiping Windows. Maybe clean something in the registry? 3. Regarding Hamachi: every newer version is worse and worse; initially, after updating the first version to some September one, it was the most convenient and functional. When setting priority, all servers in the game were visible and the connection was acceptable. Now, not only does it only display the game of a found IP, but it takes half a year to load at start, doesn't disappear from the taskbar, and visibility quality with other players has noticeably dropped. Please, someone give me a normal version or a link to it. It would also be good to post proven stable versions for each other in the future. 584985121. 4. For those who understand the intricacies of Hamachi settings, could you list the types of connections through it? It would be useful for everyone. Here is an example: suppose 2 players cannot connect, but sometimes these settings help (they aren't in the first versions): each of the 2 players right-clicks on the opponent's nickname - details - settings - on one of the tabs we change 4 variables: - traffic - allow all - authentication - RSA keys - compression - peer chooses - encryption - peer chooses. Restart Hamachi and the connection and ping appear. So, I think many would like to know in which situation who should make what settings for a successful connection? Maybe not all questions are on topic, I just copied them from another thread—I was advised to post my troubles here. Thanks to everyone in advance.

When I launch the game, it says that at least 5MB of free space is required on the disk and then it crashes. There is more than 20GB of free space on the disk. What is the problem?

HoMM3 HD – the mod does not affect either the installation of your game (all your files in the Heroes folder remain intact), or the internet connection settings; only the game interface changes. All problems are related to the basic game installation and the operating system (network settings, as a rule). You can find some information about the problem in useful links. You need to install version Heroes 3.2 first. And then – the mod. And don't do
any strange manipulations
:) The described problems are presented somewhat chaotically and vaguely, and they can be discussed with one of the players on ICQ if the available published information is insufficient. p.s. Regarding difficulties with connecting/data transfer in Gameranger, it was found that when updating the antivirus, the program core (system functions) may also have been updated (almost all antiviruses today implement firewall functions; and vice versa). Therefore - roll back updates, or you should look at the functions of antiviruses.

This is an old bug that exists in all versions, and berserker tried to fix it, but it still remains. The error is related to the fact that when the game was released, hard drives larger than 4GB did not exist. To fix the bug, simply make a copy of a large file on the disk, for example, copy a movie or delete a movie. In general, you need to change the location on the disk where the game is installed.

It was after installing the MOD that the problems started. When I installed it for the first time, there was an option to change the resolution, which I did, and it changed and now looks like this. While reading about possible drawbacks of the MOD on the forum, it was written that it might not display in full screen under certain conditions, which seems to have happened specifically to me. I decided to revert to the original resolution, but further changes prevented the game from launching in full-screen mode. The resolution itself changed, but it was smaller than the entire screen. The game image relative to the screen became larger or smaller against a black background. The maximum possible resolution was 1024*768, even though I set a higher value in the mod settings. "Resolution" (meaning the pixel ratio of the matrix) of my screen is 1280*800, so when starting the game, there are black bars of 128 pixels on both sides.
But the point is that after completely uninstalling the game and the MOD, a new installation of the game gives the same results as before deletion, i.e., the same non-full-screen display. And even a completely separate installation of the complete collection gave the same effect. So, it's 100% caused by the MOD.

For some reason, the additional buttons and the load from battle option aren't displaying for me... All the settings are configured in the .ini file.

R55Max, It's hard to understand what you're saying; basically, nothing is clear.
After installing the HD mod and performing some manipulations, possibly incorrect ones, the game stopped launching in fullscreen mode.
So, it only launches in windowed mode? And what happens when you press F4?
When I installed it the first time, there was an option to change the resolution, which I did, and it changed and now looks like this.
And how does it look now? How did it look before?
The maximum possible resolution was 1024*768, even if I set a higher resolution in the mod settings.
So, even if you set 1280x800 (the physical resolution of your screen), the game still launches at 1024x768? If this is really the case, it's the most unbelievable thing you've described.
I decided to revert to the previous resolution, but after further changes, the game no longer launched in fullscreen mode. The resolution did change, but it was smaller than the entire screen. The game image was simply scaled up or down relative to the screen on a black background.
So, when you set, say, 800x600 (aspect ratio: 4:3) or 1024x768 (4:3), the resolution is set while maintaining the aspect ratio, but you want it to be stretched to 8:5? Well, many modern monitors and graphics cards allow you to configure how a resolution that doesn't match the aspect ratio of the monitor's physical resolution should be displayed. And if your laptop used to stretch 800x600 to fill the entire screen, but now it displays it with the aspect ratio preserved and black bars, it's obvious that your laptop has this functionality. Therefore, instead of uselessly reinstalling the game and HD mod, you should try to tinker with the image output settings on your laptop (either through a special proprietary utility or simply through the graphics card settings). As a last resort, you can try reinstalling the video drivers.
In general, there's no need to panic, and the HD mod is not the problem. The HD mod uses a completely standard method (just like the original Heroes) to send a command to DirectX to set a specific resolution (from the resolutions supported by the system), and then it's completely unrelated to the HD mod how DirectX processes this command, how it passes it to the graphics card, and how the graphics card ultimately reacts to it.

You understood everything correctly, and the most unbelievable things are actually quite possible. Now, about what you didn't understand: "As it is now" means how it is after the MOD. I described how it is. I'll explain it again and break it down: I was playing the game normally. The game was in 800*600 resolution, but it filled the entire screen of my laptop (how to put it... it's like this resolution can somehow fill the entire screen). After installing the MOD, I set the resolution to 1024*768, and it changed to that, but it only occupied the physical pixels on the monitor with my physical 1280*800, and the rest of the pixels were just black. When I changed the resolution to less than 1024*768, the resolution changes corresponded to their physical number of pixels, and the rest of the monitor background remained black. On the other hand, if I set any resolution greater than 1024*768, the resolution on the monitor still remained the same and equal to 1024*768 physical pixels.
When I pressed F4, a normal windowed mode of the game was displayed with the desktop visible and no empty pixels in the window.
As for the MOD, I have nothing against it, but since its installation and changing the resolution parameters in this way provoke such reactions from my hardware, it can no longer be claimed that the MOD has no effect. I'm not arguing that I should look for possible settings on my system. If I knew where and what to change, I probably wouldn't be asking. It's just that we need to figure out where to look for possible problems, why, for example, my specific graphics card behaves this way when your MOD is installed.
In general, reinstalling Windows solved the problem, which I didn't want to do. But reinstalling the MOD gave the same sad result. I can do without the MOD, but I'm just curious why this happens, if you say that the MOD shouldn't have any effect...

Does anyone play on a large 23-24 inch monitor? Are there any "oligarchs" here? :) I'm interested in how it looks – is it smaller than, say, on a 19-inch monitor?
