I downloaded the complete collection of Heroes games, including the HD 3.46 patch, from a torrent, and I can't launch the game through the launcher. I get the error message "you should run hd3_launcher.exe first after homm3 hd installation." I can launch the game from the root folder, but without the patch. I'm running Windows 7, and I'd appreciate some help or a link to a thread where this problem is solved. P.S. I'm tired of searching the forums for a solution to this problem.

You go to the heroes3.tv website -> download -> download the version that is smaller in size (I haven't downloaded the Obsa version, so I don't know which one is better), it already has the HD mod pre-installed. After downloading, you unzip the pack, update the HD mod through the launcher, and start playing.

Hey everyone, can you help me out? I can’t connect using the HD mod. I have the latest version, and we tried connecting through Hamachi and TeamViewer. We also disabled the firewall. As a result, I can see the opponent’s game, but I can’t connect. Interestingly, in War of the Chosen, the connection works normally both through Hamachi and TeamViewer.

in online connections, prioritize the Hamachi network connection and play, or download TeamViewer and play without much hassle; the main thing is to install the version with a VPN connection (you'll need to check a box during installation).

I can't connect using the HD mod.

I have the exact same problem. I spent a lot of time on it, and not just my own, but also the time of the helpful people here (a separate thank you to them). But I still haven't solved the problem. So that others don't waste their time, I'll list what definitely DOESN'T help:
1. Disabling all firewalls and antivirus programs.
2. Setting up Hamachi and network priorities.
3. Installing a VPN version of TeamViewer.
4. Downloading various "correct" versions of Heroes with and without the mod pre-installed.
5. Changing computers (!).
6. Changing the connection location.

What I was able to determine: it connects with some people, but not with most. What it depends on – I don't know. Without the mod, it connects with everyone. The VT version connects with everyone.

The fact that the HD mod affects the connection is 100%, because without it, everything works, and without any complicated procedures. I contacted Baratortch in a private message and on the forum, but apparently, the number of my posts on the forum is not enough to get a response

The problem was solved at the dacha with the help of Rebellious – thanks to him. :D It turned out that it was simply due to my own clumsiness – I had once created a subfolder for the game and launched it from there. Later, I forgot about it and clicked on the shortcut on the desktop, which led to a different folder containing an incorrect version of the mod (or one that wasn't fully installed). Basically, it was just a silly mistake...
However, the connection problem with the mod remained on my home computer. With Rebellious, we checked everything through Mikogo, disabled the firewall, and some other things... In the end, we came to the conclusion that the router settings were to blame – I still don't know how to bypass this, maybe someone can help... :smile05:

So, are our routers so strict that they detect which version of Heroes is running and specifically block the HDMod version?!

Maybe the router is blocking the ports used by the HD mod, while Wot and the standard SOD use a different port that is not blocked. Although, I doubt that they use different ports...

patcher_x86.dll version 2.2 is required. When launching the HD mod, this error appears, and as a result, nothing starts. I installed Windows 7 on a second logical drive, reinstalled Heroes and the HD mod, but the error persists. I can't even imagine what the problem is, as I installed a clean version of Heroes on a clean Windows installation. Has anyone else encountered this? Could it be a hardware issue? I found these libraries here: https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/files. What should I do with them? PLEASE HELP!! Kind and intelligent people! It worked! This file is located in the Heroes folder. I downloaded it from the link, replaced the file in the Heroes folder, and now everything works. I don't know whether to delete this post (maybe it will be useful to someone) or let the moderators delete it if it's unnecessary.

I have the exact same problem, I did almost everything you wrote, but it connects with some people without any problems, and with others, this is what happens:
I go into Multiplayer
I see a game
I click "join game"
And I get an error like "failed to connect, try again later!"
I hope someone knows what this is due to. :smile32:

This kind of issue pops up for many players who play through a router; it seems like it needs to be configured somehow.

I changed my internet provider. And now, believe it or not, I have the same problem. Apparently, there's a lot we don't know about HDMI. The connection in World of Tanks is fine, but now I can't play on Heroes of Might and Magic... The conclusion is that this is the work of those dirty World of Tanks players :D
But seriously, this is a very sad problem...
I'm continuing to look for a solution.

Many players experience similar problems when playing through a router. We have a TOPIC dedicated to this issue, but it doesn't help everyone. Perhaps someone with expertise could write a detailed solution for possible problems.

Guys, everything is fine!!! I created a shortcut in the launcher and will only launch the game through it from now on :) Conclusion: HDLauncher is bad, get rid of it))

Added after 21 hours and 9 minutes
As requested :D
Here's what I did:
