How to run Gamespy under Windows Vista

I dont know if this problem has been solved but if u are unfortunate to have a windovs vista  there is a way u can enter a gamespy chat room.

Its quite simple.

Run gamespy,
Connect,
Click on heroes3 in list of my games,
Then click together ctrl + o
Then copy paste this   HEROES3:///?type=group&group=-1

And you are in  

This is only for heroes 3,

Have fun!

Yes, this solution was on gamespy boards some time ago (practicaly a week after vista release). But its good to remind new people of the way it works.

is there any known issues with vista other than that tip in gamespy?, do i need to change any ports or do anything else in order to play h3 on gamespy or hamachi?

AFAIK its all the same as in xp. In other words hamachi works perfectly while ports might be needed for gamespy and such(cant remember since i now use hamachi exclusively)

BTW, solution mentioned in first post works for all gamespy hosted games, not just heros (just the "heroes" part is different)

Changed thread subject and made the thread sticky (so maretti doesn't need to edit his post every few weeks )

Hi guys,

I tried to start a new Topic but i couldn't (me being a new member and all).

I'm playing Heroes 3 for a long time now. I'm realy addicted to the game. And i'd like to try it online now, because the computer doesn't realy give me a challendge anymore. So i have some questions:

Isn't it possible to play online without GameSpy? (imo GameSpy sucks)

How can i get online and play?

Greetingz,

JihadWarrior

GameSpy is abandoned place. There you will find only several players if you are lucky and almost all of them are newbies who could not give you so hard chalenge. If you want that, come to Gameranger.
