Posts from How can I play Heroes 3 with the HD mod on Gameranger? Auto-translated

I've tried everything, but the search didn't yield any results. So, I'm creating this thread. I've always been able to play Heroes games with the HD mod installed. How can I host Heroes games with the HD mod enabled? The HD mod shortcut doesn't seem to work; is there another way to install it?

I play through Evolve, and it always works great!

You can try creating a shortcut to HD.exe from the launcher, cutting the original Heroes3.exe from the folder, and replacing it with the new, HD version. GameRanger should definitely handle this and launch the game, but most likely all participants will need to perform the same steps.
