I bought the licensed version, but it lags when zooming out and rotating on my system with 512MB of RAM and a Radeon 9600SE 128MB (64-bit). Will adding another 512MB of RAM help, or should I upgrade the graphics card for better performance?

I have a similar configuration. I set the textures to medium and almost completely disable anti-aliasing... the result is quite good, although you wouldn't say it "flies" on large maps. In general, more RAM would definitely be helpful, I think... as would a better graphics card. :) The question is about the available resources.

Try changing the screen resolution to 800*600 and reducing the texture quality. As for the RAM, adding more would definitely be a good idea. You could then use higher settings. Although, I don't see much of a difference between the maximum and minimum texture settings; it looks good either way!

No need to consult a fortune teller; it's the RAM causing the problem. Try closing Kaspersky and a couple of other programs. Also, try switching Windows to classic mode – it helped me without sacrificing image quality.

So, I bought a licensed version of the game, but it still freezes. I guess my video card can't handle it. (GF 5500 128) Damn, what should I do? Is upgrading the only option?

I have 5200, and the game runs fine. The problem is probably something else.

Attention, owners of integrated video cards! Now you can enjoy all the delights of Heroes of Might and Magic V; all you need to do is download the patch. This bug has been fixed in it!

Are you sure your drivers are okay??? And is DirectX definitely the new one from the disc???
I'm a bit of a noob myself so I can't advise much, but I have exactly the same video card and it runs great on medium graphics
And I have a question myself !?!?!
As I already said, my GPU is GF 5500, Sempron 2800 (1.7 GHz (I don't really want to overclock it)), RAM 1024! What should I upgrade first anyway (even though I understand that the more the better, but still) — the CPU or the GPU — so that Heroes doesn't lag on full settings (it's not even that bad, but it's very annoying) and in other modern games in general (for example Earth 2160 (that one is just a disaster))

I also have a question!?!

I would say that in this configuration, the "weakest link" is the graphics card.
However, I have an Athlon 2200+, 1 GB of RAM, and a Radeon 9600XT, and I still experience some lag. It's not significant, but it's noticeable, especially when zooming in and out on the main map and moving the hero around. However, the graphics were set to "very high," 1024x768, and anisotropic filtering was set to *4.
The most interesting thing is that reducing the anisotropic filtering to *2 and setting the graphics to "high" didn't give a noticeable improvement. And even more interestingly, a slight improvement occurred after defragmenting the hard drive, or am I just imagining things?:confused:?

I'll say this: it's definitely a video card glitch; it can't handle the pixelization. Probably because it's an MX, and even more so, a GeForce 4 – it's too weak for Heroes... He should upgrade his video card. For example, a guy has a GeForce4Ti, and everything works fine for him, but a GeForce4MX produces glitches. And how much RAM does he have, and what processor?

Let him change the video card. For example, a guy has a GeForce4Ti, and everything works fine on it, but a GeForce4MX produces glitches. And how much RAM does he have, and what processor?

He has 512MB of DDR1 RAM and an AMD Athlon 2000 XP+ 1667Mhz processor.
