He rearranged them, but it didn’t help.

You can try installing an HD mod and playing through it.
Install a different version of the game from a different website.
Or, as a more radical solution, install WinXP.

the game doesn't even install in the usual way; you just download an archive containing the game, ready to run, and the HD mod is already included.
but downgrading to Windows XP is too drastic; I'll search some more on English-language forums.

A portable version, or something?
It's better to download and install the full version of "The Shadow of Death".

the game simply cannot be installed there, in the sense of installing regular programs; instead, an archive with the game is downloaded, ready to run.
The second possible reason for the problems: you write that an HD mod is already included in the game in the archive. This is convenient for lazy (or previously unfamiliar with the game) players, but it is unknown what the "craftsmen" who "created" your archive might have changed/deleted.:) It is better to search for and find the game installer – even if it is a repack, they can be quite good (as luck would have it)).

Ideally, the game should be installed.
It's unknown what changes or deletions the "creators" of your archive might have made.

How to run Heroes 3 on Windows Server 2008? Here's what I've tried:
1) Installed the latest DirectX.
2) Ran the game in different compatibility modes and with administrator privileges.
3) The user account has local administrator rights.
4) Copied the folder with the working game files and added the data to the registry.
The error itself:

Exactly the same problem as in the post /topic/at/536203/. We tried different network emulator programs. When playing with two players, everything works perfectly. However, when playing with three players, the last player does not receive turn notifications from the second player; it shows that the first player is taking their turn. After that, the game crashes completely.

Downloaded the platinum version here and installed the HD patch.
Started playing.
The allied computer is lagging terribly in development (save file attached).
What's the problem?

Ko4evnik,
1) Where is the save file? I don't see it... Please provide it (you can attach it to the previous message)!
2) What do you mean by "it's terribly slow in development"? Please be more specific: does the game freeze when switching turns? Does an ally refuse to fight / buy troops / build buildings / ... ?

1) Sorry, something didn't attach. Here it is now.
2) He is very slow. I started on impossible difficulty (200%) and only gave myself a bonus of a prison with my favorite hero, specializing in ranged attacks, on my territory.
He has already reached titans, and the computer hasn't even built a capital city yet! And he sat for a long time, not moving, with an income of 500 gold per city. And he still sits in the castle, not conquering anything. Now, he has built municipalities, but he is still slow in the castles.

Ko4evnik, the AI's behavior is often a complete mystery. :) I've read about various instances of this kind of "stalling." I remember someone writing that they placed a pathetic group of peasants in front of an AI player's castle, and that coward didn't even dare to leave the castle! :)
Well, if an ally is slow, so be it: who's in charge here? :) As long as the enemies aren't slow! :)

Ko4evnik, the AI's behavior in some cases is a "mystery wrapped in an enigma." :) I've read about various instances of this kind of "stalling." I remember someone writing that they placed a pitiful group of peasants in front of an AI player's castle, and that coward didn't even dare to leave the castle! :)
Well, if an ally is being slow, so what? Who's in charge here? ;) As long as the enemies aren't being slow! :)
Right now, everything has continued to the point where I'm personally (!) manually opening mines for the AI!

As Napoleon said, save me from friends, and I will deal with my enemies myself. And what good is an ally – only to get in the way and take away your resources? In a custom map, they could simply program its behavior – restrictions on buildings, limitations on the movement range from the castle.

As Napoleon said, God save me from friends, and I'll deal with enemies myself. And what's the point of an ally – just to get in the way and take away your resources? In a custom map, they could simply program its behavior, limit its buildings, and restrict its movement radius from the castle.
2. An ally is for fun – to watch the computer wars. You don't participate in the process to the maximum, but simply observe how it develops. You help out here and there...
