HD Mod 3.700 does not run with Windows XP. Very disturbing since my 'gaming' PC is an XP rig by choice.
Any English speaking folks know if this is the just way things are now and XP users can no longer play the HD+ mod?

Is there a reason not to upgrade to Windows 7? Microsoft is dropping its support for Windows XP in a month from now and will not be releasing further (security) updates for that operating system.

There are reasons not to upgrade to Windows 7 or any modern M$ systems. And allways will be. Only Windows XP have NetBEUI and IPX/SPX network support which is required for some games. Windows XP have better overall compatibility with old games compared to Windows 7+. And Windows XP is still supported by M$ and other companies till April 8, 2014. The lack of further security updates by M$ will not make Windows XP worse than it is now and will not affect its usability.

This. I have a Windows 8 laptop and a Windows 7 laptop. My XP rig is my GAMING rig and I just don't have much interest in newer games (for the most part). There are literally SCORES of games that run well on XP but not at all on any newer Windows system. Some legendary strategy games like Warlords III: DLR for example.

I have been used Homm HD 3.45f for a long time, Homm HD 3.45f + shows two changes different from 3.45f:
1.when setting "<TournamentExtensions> = 2", the invite heroes window is appeared, but the heroe who visit Witch Hut will lost/forget its advanced (or expert) skill if Witch Hut teaching the same skill.
2.In 3.45f, when using "Town Portal" magic, we can see the town type with the showing icon, and know the town location displayed in small maps when switch the selections. the subsequent versions discard the functionality
3.7f is stable, maybe the two functionality above should be improved.
thanks
i use windows 7 x64, Homm 3 complete, era2.46.

Maybe it has something to do with this change (Google translate) >
[-] [!] Functionality modules TournamentExtensions, AutofixMap, HD +, options CpuPatch, AsyncSounds longer available for WoG / TE / WT / ERA
I'm thinking that the original text might actually say 'no longer available', tho I could be wrong, of course.

If that's the case I will no longer update. I don't understand why Wog and Era are without those options, they worked just fine.

Hey. Ive been looking for a mod like this to make HOMM3 work without random crashes on Win7.
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).
Hanzan said:
But i tried the Mod and it wont start from the launcher. I just get an error that it cant start from there, and thats it.
You should run the installer using administrator privileges. Also, it is highly recommended to install game outside 'Program Files' and other system directories.
I did just this and uploaded it for easy installing. [url=http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=40138&PID=1207852#focus]See my thread[/url].
I hope this can help somebody. Note that the filename has to be Heroes3.exe or Heroes3 HD.exe and be version 4.0

I really love this mod, but i've got a problem concerning the ingame sound while using this. The soundtrack of the game begins to stutter after a while, so that i have to turn off the sound.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

This has been happening to me too, although I've been trying to find a more permanent fix, the only solution I've found so far is pressing F4 to exit fullscreen and press F4 to enter fullscreen. My sound begins to stutter every time I alt+tab out of the game and enter again, but a double F4 fixes it.
Very few times, double F4 didn't work. Random combinations of alt-tab, F4 and maximize window fixed it the few times it happened.

Does the HD mod fix the supposed castle tower bug that is fixed in a "univeral patch" on GOG?
I guess it's this :
Heroes with Armorer skill take additional damage (approx. double).
Creatures with Air Shield take additional damage (same as above).

Has the development of this mod ceased? Also, is the sourcecode for it available somewhere, so that other people can step in and keep on improving it?

To my knowledge, no. HotA fixes them, tho. However, it really only takes a couple of hex edits to do it yourself. There's a thread about it on HC.

HD mod still has a very active development. However, if you're stuck on version 3.711 then you'll actually have to reinstall HD mod because of a bug, it seems. The latest version is 3.716.

Does anyone else have the issue with this mod where it jumps into a battle extremely quickly and units start making their turns before the intro music even finishes?
