Heroes works fine on Windows 7; you just need to copy the root folder to XP and paste it into Windows 7.

I tested it on a 32-bit Windows 7. It works perfectly, even without any compatibility modes (although it works with them too). Maybe it works differently on 64-bit systems. But I still can't figure out what the problem is. Especially with such an uncommon report. Thank goodness, I won't have to ask users for details about the crash with HD 3.0. I'll just copy and paste this: "Send me the crash log." *** And I also need to create an installer for HD, because some people are having problems with the installation.

Breakthrough! :)

The operating system is 64-bit. I launch Heroes through the HD executable, and immediately a window pops up saying "Heroes of Might and Magic has stopped working, searching for a solution," and then this window appears.

I downloaded all versions of the mod from the website. And, lo and behold, versions 2.9 and 2.94 worked! All the others crash. Just so you know, maybe this information will be useful to the mod author.

Well, it's already better this way!

As I said, I won't be updating version 2.9* anymore, especially since I can't find the source code for 2.98 on my computer.
However, version 3.0 isn't coming out anytime soon, so I've put together a patch for 2.98.
http://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/files/w7_fix_01.dll?attredirects=0&d=1
You need to copy the w7_fix_01.dll file into the HiRezData\Common folder.
Ideally, it should fix this bug. Of course, I can't test it myself because everything works fine for me. When creating it, I relied solely on the error report posted above.
By the way, this fix adds HD_CRASH_INFO.TXT generation in HD when the game crashes. So, if the fix doesn't work, at least you can provide me with this HD_CRASH_INFO.TXT.

In any case, I'm waiting for feedback on the results of this fix.

baratorch, is it possible to change the font in the Mega Pack to the same one as in WoT?
And if the Mega Pack is unpacked directly into the game folder, as described on the website, it won't appear in the "Your HoMM3 version" list; you need to manually move it to the correct folder.

Enable compatibility mode with Windows 98 for the executable – it won't crash.
(HD is no longer relevant here.)

I've fixed this.

I downloaded the mod and installed it. Everything works, but the *random map* option has disappeared from under the *available scenarios* line – is there any way to bring it back? *Heroes version: Complete Collection*.

English Mega pack. Please change the description of the number of creatures in it... to 10, 5, 20... it's very inconvenient; you often spend a minute trying to estimate the strength of the army. I would like to see 1-4, 5-9, 10-20, 20-49, etc. Thank you.

Yes, I agree.
And what about the font in the Mega Pack? Can it be replaced with the same one as in WOT?

After linking heroes, the turn switches to another hero, which is very inconvenient. Please revert it to how it was.

The solution is in the first post of the topic.

Revert it yourself.

It's possible. Will I do it? No.
It's not that hard. Take the WOT font files and put them in the Mega Pack folder.
