Hello everyone,
The problem is that the screen aspect ratio is displayed as if on a 4:3 monitor, but stretched on the sides (I currently have a widescreen 2560x1440 monitor). I've tried using a tweaker and changing the settings manually, but it doesn't help. What else can I do?
When I installed the game, I had a 4:3 monitor, and then I uninstalled it, but I kept the saves because I had almost completed the game on the highest difficulty. Now I decided to finish it, and this problem appeared. In the game itself, if I change the resolutions, there is such an option, and the image becomes clearer, but not proportionally. What should I do?

As far as I remember, the correct aspect ratios for widescreen resolutions were introduced only with the latest 3.1 patch for Tribes of the East.

In the game settings, you need to select the resolution of your video card, but I don't quite understand what resolution you have - 2560x1440 :eek:

Just a regular 16:9, 27-inch monitor. :)
I tested the method with reinstalling and cleaning the game's registry and documents on Tribes of the East, and it worked fine; the proportions are now correct. So, another question: in which files are the campaign saves and campaign progress stored? I need to transfer them in such a way that the old monitor settings are not transferred, and the game will then set them according to the new monitor, as happened in Tribes of the East, where the saves were not important.

Settings and saves in the original game and expansions are stored in different paths. For example, for Tribes of the East, it's \User Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V — Tribes of the East\saves. The settings file is also there: user.cfg for the original game, and user_a1, user_a2 for the expansions. But there's no point in these manipulations; the proportions in widescreen mode will be distorted everywhere except for Tribes of the East with patch 3.1. No matter how you tweak the settings, it's all inside the executable file. There is an option to play the old campaigns under Tribes of the East 3.1, but you'll have to download a mod to unlock the previous campaigns and play without distortions.

Settings and saves for the original game and the add-ons are stored in different locations. For example, for Tribes of the East, they are located at \User Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V — Tribes of the East\saves.

Thanks, sounds like a death sentence :( Has anyone tried this mod? What's it called, and does it work stably?

I personally played through all campaigns with version 3.1 using this mod =)
There is also a thread on this topic in the mods section here; it contains a link to an AG.ru news article about the "All-in-one" mod. You can download the campaigns separately, as well as videos and voiceovers. All together, they take up about 400 MB.
And regarding the in-game videos, I remember another thing: both in the original game and in Warlords 3.1, they are limited by a black frame (in 4:3 format). When playing in widescreen resolutions, this was somewhat annoying, so I made a mini-mod when I was playing to remove these black bars on the left and right. I need to find it and upload it; maybe it will be useful to someone else.

Please tell me, if I play through the campaigns transferred from previous parts of Heroes V into Tribes of the East, do the collected artifacts carry over from one mission to the next?

Could you please tell me if the artifacts collected during a mission are carried over to the next mission when playing the campaigns transferred from previous parts of Heroes V into Tribes of the East?
No, they are not carried over.

No, they don't transfer.
So, after many years, no solution has been found, as I understand it?
Ideally, should we play the originals with a 4:3 aspect ratio? Is there no other option?

There is a solution – we need to add functions to the campaign scripts to transfer artifacts, as is done in the scripts in the expansion pack (or in user-created campaigns, for example, Grey Alliance).
However, there is currently no one who is willing to take on this task.

There is a simple solution: change the desktop resolution to 1680x1050 and then set the same resolution in the game. In this case, small black bars will appear at the edges of the game screen.
