Hello. During gameplay, at a resolution of 1024x768 (sometimes during battles on the map), and in towns, multicolored horizontal stripes flicker. They don't flicker constantly. They aren't visible in the screenshots. I don't know what causes them to appear. I've tried different versions of the game. I'm using Windows 7 on an Asus N53S laptop. At a resolution of 800x600, everything becomes normal. Is there anything I can do?

Play with a resolution of 800x600. Alternatively, try installing Equilibris. It might not help, but it's worth a shot.

Installing it doesn't help.

If there are no artifacts on the screenshots, then the problem lies with the graphics card.

The game (Alexander) crashes when attempting to enter either the Arena of Strength or the Arena of Magic. It also happens on custom-made maps. Is there a fix for this?

Do not enter the Coliseum of Power or the Coliseum of Magic!

Don't enter the Arena of Power or the Arena of Magic!

Thank you, it helped!>

Seriously, is there anything that can be done about these structures? Maybe a solution has already been found?

In the first version of the fourth game, the game could crash when entering the city dungeon. Later, a solution was found – this bug was fixed...:D

Most likely, you're experiencing a bug due to pirated expansions. I've never had any problems with these objects in the licensed version.

Is there an Equilibris version for the English version of Heroes? When I set the game to English, the text is displayed as gibberish (interface, descriptions of creatures, items, and artifacts).

Yes, there is. Set it to the original language. There won't be any problems.

I played Heroes IV on an Acer laptop. The operating system was Windows Vista Ultimate 64x. The game wouldn't launch in normal mode (it would freeze completely, to the point where I had to unplug the network adapter and remove the battery). It did launch in safe mode, and although it crashed frequently, I was able to play the game comfortably.

Hey everyone, I have a question. I updated Windows to 10. Yesterday, I was playing Heroes of Might and Magic IV and encountered an issue where the autosave feature isn't working. After each turn, I get a message saying "Failed to autosave." The game is a licensed version, as is Windows. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution?

I'm having the same problem. The autosave feature isn't working in the game. + During battles: lag and slowdowns. The animation of certain things takes longer than it should, especially when arrows are flying, etc.
Before this, I had other lag issues (a black screen at the beginning), but I solved them. However, I haven't been able to solve the problems described above. What do you suggest?
* Various settings and compatibility mode tweaks didn't help with the lag and slowdowns during combat.

BenowiBonro, here are two points:
1) Heroes of Might and Magic IV doesn't work properly with newer DirectX versions. Many problems and lags can stem from this.
2) Heroes of Might and Magic IV doesn't work properly with multi-core processors. As far as I understand, Windows 8 and 10 have a different way of managing cores, which is detrimental to the game. In my case, it would completely freeze every 10-15 minutes. You can use processes to set it to use only one core, and then the game will run relatively stably. Although freezes will still occur. I don't know how to fully optimize it.
But at least 90% of the problems are due to the two points mentioned above.
