I would like to see a list of differences between version 3.35 and, for example, version 2.98.
And if everything is OK, then a question for Pete - isn't it time to legally establish in the rules the requirement for all players to have the mod for this version with password-protected saves??!...
Otherwise, it will always be: "I have a different version"; "I don't want to play with HD+"; "I don't have the mod"; "I don't even have Hamachi." The last one is from a different opera, but still))
I agree!
In the case of Vide, it can be allowed not to use this mod for foreign players; "herowly" can be included in their number - he can't even open the link to this mod, although I still managed to send him the HD mode via email:cool:

We have been considering adopting HD+ as the official tournament version for quite some time. We are waiting for everything to finally stabilize. However, with automatic version updates, we can simply specify "latest version."

I have a mod for version 3.35... the number of lizards in the castle is calculated incorrectly... it should show that you can buy 9, or at most 18... but it shows 16.

Well, it seems this is due to the summoning portal. It sees that it's level 2, and level 2 increases by 16. That's the result. :)

Well, it seems it needs to be fixed.
And it doesn't increase, but rather there are 16 harpies in the castle... apparently, that's why it places whatever it has, 16 lizards, there... (I'm playing this right now, so I'll check it a bit later).

At the time of writing this post, version 3.36 has already been released, which fixes this issue.
Check the box for "check for updates every time the game starts" in the launcher.

Well, for example, I can't play version 3 because it causes so many lags that it becomes unpleasant to play. 2.98, on the other hand, works perfectly.

Kluka, do something! Because the future lies in protected games! :D Does anyone know if the map is saved in the host's random maps folder (or somewhere else) now, or how it works with WOT?

No, it's not saved. You can check this yourself in single-player mode.

Well, that's why simple questions like these arise:
Chingis
...what is full control?
Chingis
...What should be the minimum on a respawn point so that you don't have to restart?:)
and you just want to answer them.
But for other similar simple questions:

Could you elaborate?
I can understand such a statement if HD 3 uses a 32-bit MMX renderer and one of the bilinear sharper filters.
This sharper filter puts additional load on the processor compared to a simple bilinear filter (in 2.98, 32-bit MMX only uses a simple bilinear filter), and this is only when stretching the game's image.
There's nothing else that should make it slower than in 2.98.

To speed things up, you can try:
1. Don't stretch the window in MMX mode (if playing in fullscreen, choose the desktop resolution).
2. Change the renderer.
3. Disable the CpuPatch option.

The map is saved, but if you're playing with protected saves, it's encrypted, so you can only open it after the host receives the opponent's password.
I'd like to see a list of differences between 3.35 and, for example, 2.98.
If I were to describe the list in detail, it would be very long.
Maybe I'll do it someday.

In general, there are
very informative screenshots
and a detailed list of changes compared to the original
on the website.

I experimented. It turns out that it only slows down in windowed mode, but not in fullscreen mode.
Moreover, it doesn't always slow down in windowed mode. The maximum resolution at which it works normally is 1016 (monitor resolution is 1024x768). Apparently, 2.98 allows the window to extend beyond the visible area of the screen, and at that moment, 3.xx starts performing interpolation.

Added 2 minutes later
And if you set ColorMode = 0, then 3.xx works as fast as 2.98. There's the solution! Thank you.

Has anyone else had issues connecting to opponents after updating the mod? I'm currently using version 3.36+. I've had to play several games, including tournament matches, on version 2.98.

Is it just me, or has the updated mod stopped connecting to opponents? I currently have version 3.36+.
I've had to play several games, including tournament games, on version 2.98.

Are you talking about me?? :)
I don't know what happened, but I reinstalled Windows, installed Heroes and the mod again, and now everything connects.

Well, that's why simple questions

sometimes evoke a simple desire to just answer.
And for other similar simple questions,

one feels like replying to the author.

Did you forget to take your pills this morning? :) I was actually asking baratorch.
