Baratorch, thank you, removing the last line with the Dropbox address helped. The two lines you mentioned were there from the beginning.

A problem arose a couple of weeks or a month ago: when I create a game, opponents don't see the city/hero selection screen (the entire panel on the left); instead, they see a regular splash screen. I didn't pay much attention to it because my opponents were creating games (and I thought everything would return to normal after an update), but now I realize the problem hasn't disappeared. Is the cause known, and is there a way to fix it?
Thank you.

Good day! I have a problem. Everything has always worked, and I don't think there have ever been any issues with the game or updates. But after the latest or second-to-last update, I noticed a strange thing: after a game and when I try to load it for review, the game loads automatically without asking for a password, "before the opponent sends me the password," even though both I and the opponent have passwords, and the options show the correct password. It doesn't create a folder for daily saves, even though the checkbox is checked. The error doesn't appear right away, but probably after a restart or sometime during the week; I can't say for sure. And it only happens when I create the game; if someone else does, it seems to work fine. Is there a solution to this problem, and is it a known bug? Could something have gone wrong with the game itself, and do I need to reinstall everything? And another strange thing: during my opponent's turn, they attack me, and after a long battle, they pay me off, leaving me with summoned creatures, and as a result, I lose my hero. After accepting the turn, I go to the tavern, and my hero is there as if he had escaped, but as a ghost hero. Is this normal game mechanics, or is it a bug?

I noticed that in the sand arena in HotA, the shadow lags behind the cursor (easily checked on the Fire Trial map). Selecting units can also happen with a delay.
I thought the problem was with the filters – when they are completely disabled (32-bit true color), the cursor and shadow move together, but on the other hand, the rest of the game runs smoothly with the filters enabled (especially in the original HOMM3).
It's not very clear whose problem this is – HotA's or the patch's.

Resolution is 800x600.

I think I wrote about it a long time ago, but I can't find it. I downloaded Heroes 3 from Togi's archive again, updated HDMod, and the same error occurs when I click on TCP/IP. The same thing happens in HotA.

The problem lies in the system/DirectX settings. Here you can find a description of the cause and a solution (not from me): https://www.dropbox.com/s/31dypsj7ypc8vt5/HOMMIII_DirectPlay_resolve.zip?dl=0

Is the HD mod tested on Windows XP?

If the spellbook is missing but the spell is present, attempting to cast it will display the expected message about "No effect...", and then the movement shadow disappears. This can be fixed by entering and exiting any panel, but it still occurs.

I noticed something here – the HD patch doesn't include a fix for the reduced damage from towers against heroes with the Armor skill or units with the Air Shield ability, right?
I'm even curious, Baratorch, you're a member of the HotA team, and the bug has been fixed there. What was the reason for not addressing this issue in the original game?

Personally, I fixed the .exe file in a hex editor. Will I need to redo the changes when the patch is updated?

I have a couple of questions.

1) I'm experiencing an issue: I select a random map, adjust the settings, click "Begin," and nothing happens. The "Begin" button does register the click (the text turns light gray), but that's it. Nothing is generated, and nothing moves. So, I can't host a game, and I can't even practice playing solo.
2) How do I enable Russian language support? I downloaded it from heroes3.tv, but the Russian letters appear as gibberish.

These might not be the right questions for the HD edition forum, but I couldn't find a better place to ask, so I decided to try here.

I have a couple of questions.
2) How do I apply the Russian language pack? I downloaded it from heroes3.tv, but the Russian letters are displayed as gibberish.

There are no Russian fonts – download them from https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/rus/download/plugins and that should fix it.

Thank you!

Also, after installing the font plugin, the maps started generating as well. Everything is working fine now.
