I keep getting kicked out of the game after the first turn ((( during online play. What's the problem???

I'm experiencing this issue in a single-player game, during an AI player's turn. I can see their hero moving around, and then they stop, and the turn timer freezes. The hero just stands there, and it seems like their turn is continuing indefinitely. I can't do anything to progress the game.

Guys, help me solve a problem with Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death, version 3.0. Recently, when I try to enter the multiplayer mode and go to the TCP/IP tab, the game freezes... I can't play online, even though it used to work fine. I've already reinstalled the game and enabled compatibility mode with Windows XP, but it didn't help... What's the problem? Maybe someone can help?

I have a static IP address, but I connect through a laptop that is connected to the network via Wi-Fi (router). Please tell me how to configure the game.
Also, there are two laptops connected via Tungle. The game correctly identifies the VPN IP addresses, but when searching for a game, it says that the IP address is not found. Both computers have Windows 7, and the adapter preferences are configured correctly. We even played once, but then it disconnected, and now it won't connect. Are there any experts who can advise me? Please help.
Sincerely, Alexey.

Here's the issue: sometimes in online games (using Hamachi), some players can't select a faction or a hero (by default, it's set to Castle (Humans), and the Hero field displays nothing). They can only choose a resource, gold, or an artifact. However, everything works fine for me, but some other players experience this problem. Why does this happen?

By the way, if someone else creates the game, not me, this problem disappears, but only for some of the affected players. What kind of weirdness is this???

There's no weirdness, everything is clear and straightforward. This problem occurs if the host has a slow internet connection or possibly some connection issues between the providers. When you create a game, don't change any settings and don't type in the game chat (the opponent also shouldn't type anything, so the loading process will be faster) until you see the opponent joining. At the top of the window, it says that the server maps are loading or something like that. So, clear the maps and random maps folders and wait for the game to load completely (it might take 2-3 minutes, or even 15).

Most likely, it's some kind of bug.

I had the same problem, and system restore helped. Then it happened again, and I couldn't figure out anything else, so I had to reinstall Windows

I was recently watching streams and noticed that when the streamer hovers the cursor over a creature in battle, information about the damage that will be dealt appears at the bottom. In my case, the damage isn't displayed in a similar situation. What could be causing this?

In battle mode, under Options -> Warrior Information, at least one checkbox should be selected.

We installed Heroes 3 (AB, SoD, Platinum, RE - basically, we're trying all of them) - when playing through Hamachi, there are some strange lags in the form of:

I'll add: if we start playing, one person will definitely not see what we've already done, and essentially, it's their turn, but as soon as we leave the game, their turn immediately begins - it's some kind of magic...

I'll immediately note that my internet connection is fine, we disabled firewalls, and we set compatibility mode and run as administrator. I have no idea what's going on. Because when playing with two players, we don't notice these lags, although it often kicks us out or freezes, but that's another story...

When playing with more than two people, everyone should have, first of all, a decent internet connection, and second, it is preferable to have the same versions of Heroes. For example, if you have the full version, another has patched SoD 3.2, and a third has Platinum, then that is not good.

On top of everything else, the Hamachi server seems to connect computers differently depending on the OS and settings (I'm not sure). Try connecting via Game Ranger, Team Viewer, Plan. Although I haven't played through them with more than two people myself:)

This has been reported before. Try, when everyone joins your game, to slowly click through the random map settings. Specifically, 8 7 6 5 4 3 2, 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, and then set it to the number of players, for example, if there are three of you, set it to 3, if there are four, set it to 4.

Also, delete all maps from the Maps folder, leaving only one. This will help the settings transmit faster.

This happens because the host is too impatient and tries to set the settings before all players have joined the game. You need to wait until everyone has joined and then choose the settings.

I'll add this: if you start playing, one person will definitely not see what we've already done, and essentially, it's their turn, but as soon as we leave the game, their turn immediately begins – it's like magic.
When we played a 2v2 tournament, this problem occurred constantly. The issue is that each player must have a normal connection with every other player; otherwise, it won't work. For example, if the host is Player 1 and everyone has a normal connection with them, the game will be created without problems. However, if there are connection problems between Players 2 and 3, when the turn passes from Player 2 to Player 3, this issue will occur. Moreover, if players 2 and 3 play 1v1, they won't have any problems. No one has been able to figure out how to fix this :smile32:

You described it correctly; that's exactly what's happening to us. It's a pity if the situation is fundamentally unsolvable.
In general, if I describe the situation in more detail, two people are in the same room, on different laptops with equally good internet connections. The third player lives in the same city as me, and his internet connection is also excellent. All versions are, of course, the same (I don't think it's the internet, as we've played much larger games with Skype and 10-30 people without any issues). Everyone has the same operating system (Windows 7).

Lider1 and R55Max, we will definitely try your suggestions; thank you.

We tried various programs similar to Hamachi, but it didn't help.
However, Lider1's suggestion "Yes, and you should delete all maps from the Maps folder, leaving only one. This will speed up the transfer of settings."
- has already yielded some results, but the main test will be when we play with three people (we are currently testing with two).

In the meantime, we need to urgently figure out the freezes and disconnects... There are no patterns here (it just crashes or freezes when it wants to - either on my side or on the opponent's side, and it doesn't matter what time it is, what turn it is, or what artifacts are involved; it feels like it's just random)
