Basically, I installed Heroes 10 (W10) the other day. The game launches, but as soon as I click on the online game TCP/IP, some kind of sound plays (presumably an error), and the game simply closes. The Heroes version is working. I uninstalled Hamachi, and it doesn't help even without it. I can't play my favorite game! Help, maybe someone knows what's wrong.
The error message is: DirectPlay Error
Unknown error?

I believe Windows is blocking the creation and modification of files in the directory where the game is installed.

I think Windows is blocking the creation and modification of files in the directory where the game is installed.

Hmm, how can I prevent it from blocking?

Okay, in which directory are your Heroes files located? Try moving them to another location, like your desktop.

I don't know, but I can't upgrade to it right now.

Not sure, but I don't have the option to move the Barbarians right now.

Well, try moving them from the system drive as an option.
I think Windows is complaining about it.

I Googled your problem and found this:

It seems the issue isn't related to the tenth version; the post dates back to 2007... And yes, the solution seems to have been found in the latest posts. It's a similar problem.
If you think the problem is related to file writing permissions, you should simply run Heroes III with administrator privileges.

Okay, in reality, there are different problems everywhere if you look closely, but they are similar: everywhere the problem is in the C++ libraries.

The issue definitely isn't with Windows 10. After I updated to Windows 10, I stopped having any problems, neither with Heroes nor with any other software. It's a great operating system, in my opinion.
