Is it possible to play with HD Mod on gameranger?

And if, how do we configure gameranger?

Thanks for help, Xar.

Yes, it is. Just create HD exe using the launcher and rename it to heroes3.exe. You can't use HD+ feature though (unless your opponent does as well). It is compatibile even with players who don't use the mod.

Hey, my friend is trying to set up HD on Windows 7 but every time he tries to launch the game it instantly crashes. He downloaded the latest version and his HD settings are the same as mine (I'm using Win8). Has anyone heard about this problem before?

There should be an error log file in the HD directory. Did you check to see what error it gives?

We tried to find that file, presumably HD_CRASH_LOG.txt or something like that (I have that one), but he didn't have a log of any sort in his Heroes folder.

I got the crash on Windows 7 when I got a fresh install of the game and then installed HD mode without once running the game from the original exe.

Just run the game once and let the video play, before you install HD mod. After installing HD mod also change resolution once or twice.

Even so, I still got some crashes after, with the old version, but installing the latest version fixed everything.

Still can't play campaign videos and start-up video

Hello

My original Heroes3.exe can play all the videos without any CD in. But when I start Heroes3 HD mod, neither the start-up video nor the campaign videos can play any more. There is no message for the start-up, it just skips to the game menu. For campaigns, I get a message box saying:

ResourceManager::GetSample could not find the "sfx" resource "H3x2NBc".

I have my VIDEO.VID file copied to all of the below folders:

C:\Games\Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete\Heroes3\Data\VIDEO.VID
C:\Games\Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete\Data\VIDEO.VID
C:\Games\Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete\_HD3_Data\CD Data\VIDEO.VID

Still nothing, no videos.

I figure videos are supposed to work if I actually get the CD in, and uncheck "No CD", but it would be so great if HD mod could work just the way my original Heroes3.exe works, so all I need is the CD contents, not the real CD.

Edit: If I lose a scenario, the end video (the head-chop video) is not there either. There is no message, the game just sits for a number of seconds and shows me a black square on the screen (where the video is supposed to play).

German language file

Hi folks,
i just translatet the english Lang-File for HD-Mod V3.661 into german. You may download it from heroes3.udomehlem.de, unzip and copy to your HD-mod/Lang Directory. You may also Report Errors if any.

Edit: Text-file is compatible with V3.7

Please try to be more specific, Hanzen.

I don't know why you'd have random crashes with HMM3 and Windows 7 in the first place, though. I've never had such problems, but try to provide more details, if you can.

Have you tried a fresh install of HMM3?

You should set affinity of your CPU to core 0 and the craches will not occur anymore. You don't need HD mod to fix that. There are many ways to do this: set affinity manually via Task Manager (temporarily), using Microsoft Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit (put SingleProcAffinity into H3fix.sdb then sdbinst -q H3fix.sdb, permanently without modifying game resources) or using imagecfg to patch main game executable (permanently with patching).

You should run the installer using administrator privileges. Also, it is highly recommended to install game outside 'Program Files' and other system directories.

Ah, yes, that's probably it then. You could also make a bat file (txt file with '.bat' at the end).

Like,

/affinity 1 heroes3.exe

'1' is the number of the core. Dual cores will have a '0' and a '1'.

I like this method best, personally.

The HD Mod updated to 3.700 version today, but I can't seem to find any patch notes anywhere. Could someone guide me in the right direction? I can read russian, so that's not an issue.

HD Mod 3.700 does not run with Windows XP. Very disturbing since my 'gaming' PC is an XP rig by choice.

Yes, I totally agree. The post was very dumb and little informative.



I want to explain why the original game cant run without random crashes. It has no meaning, and it happens at totally random points. It could be 10min or 1hour.

But I have a 64-bit, home edition profesional windows 7.
After alot of trial and errors, I finally managed to make the mod run smoothly. Have yet to experience a crash.


Thanks for the reply. And Im very sorry for the retarded, little informative post.





The MOD is really sweet. Cudos to the maker of it! really well done!

I've been running into an "invisible artifact" bug. It only happens with WoG extended artifacts, but artifacts such as the Warlord's Banner and the commander artifacts go invisible when you click on them, along with your mouse cursor. It makes it difficult to equip them! It is actually still possible to use them normally once they're equipped, but you have to equip them blind,

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, HD+ turned on, with Era2 installed and WoG options. No other graphical mods, on random maps. This only started happening a couple updates ago.
