Great work addressing some of the crashes so fast.

Eovacius still crashes the game at times with his new clone specialty, but I'm sure it'll be fixed and that you guys are aware of it.

Anyhow, I uploaded another one.

Another update, sweet

The launcher gave an exception as last time, but on the changelog I saw "[-] Some launcher fixes", so maybe this new version'll fix it. Downloading the patch.

Could you test, will it crash without HD?

I'll do some testing on it, sure.

I'll update this post when I'm done.

*Update*

Whatever I try, I cannot *seem* to get the game to crash without HD on. Only 'me' is a limited sample, though. I had a couple of crashes with HD on during the same kind of tests, so maybe HD mod is indeed the root of the crash.

My HD settings is with' HD+' on. I'll could do some testing without 'HD+' on if so desired?



I did come across this little detail (bug). Notice the blueish/greenish outline on the rock object?

We tried playing a 3 player game through Gameranger, but one person always failed to connect and was stuck staring at the splash screen with an hourglass.  We tried with 3 different people hosting and got the same results, though the one person left out always varied.  I suspect whoever had the greatest lag failed to connect.  It seems to work fine with two players, but not three.


Any suggestions?

Do all multiplayer options work in HotA? I mean especially the older ones, IPX, Modem, and Direct Connect. If they do not, maybe it would be better to remove them.

HotA Team could also consider support for something like Hamachi (peer-to-peer VPN) by using technologies such as n2n. It is free, and it has the open infrastructure--unlike Hamachi.

i noticed this too. i'm thinking that they're waiting to put them out with future versions. i DO like how they replaced their old "zice" defs; however they were too cyan, and i had to doctor them. no matter. that they are improving on their own work is a good thing. maybe that's what they're doing when not putting out stuff from their (however old) screenshots...

i noticed the ice patches, sand, sand patches, and grass terrain aren't included, as well(from their own screenshots). it's too bad, as they look pretty good.

I've been playing this for a couple of days, several different maps, a bunch of different heroes , spells, combats and all that, and I have yet to encounter a single crash. A few small bugs here and there, but nothing ever interrupted any of my games. I play on a clean h3 complete install, with no other mods, on a win7-64.

All I can say is congrats to the developing team, this is a great expansion, it feels really nice, it fits it, and is decently well-balanced. Well, for the most of it
Also, thank you!

Well, most of that was of the 2008 info? Pretty outdated, and just like many other ideas, they changed within time.

But we aren't on a final version either, it still could happen in a future version.

If you want to help, it's a good idea to describe these "small bugs" here.

Yes, single player works fine, but single player is boring.  For some of us, without a multiplayer option, the game is useless.

What is the significance of tiny.fnt in HotA?


I guess it's for the creature abilities description. Using the original font it would not fit into the boxes.


Thank you. I checked with all of the creatures in Cove town and none of the creatures have such long descriptions that it wouldn't fit, with neither of the two fonts.

HotA got an update again (yay).
However I was saddened to see those Russian fonts back again.

Here is an updated vanilla font-restorer archive for HotA 2.3.2.

IPX should work using a wrapper under Windows 7 or without on Windows XP and below. All VPNs should work if either the IPX or TCP-IP protocol works on the PCs connected via a VPN. Hamachi is actually free, but for a max of 4 persons.

About Gameranger, which some refers to, I'm 99% sure that any issues lies with Gameranger itself to support HotA/Heroes 3.

I've just experienced a critical crash when generating a random map in-game. (not via the map editor). HD mod on (HD+).

Random map generating, critical crash

Another one for reference

I'll just post the HD log, too.

HD log





A small glith that sometimes happen to me. Most likely a HD issue, but not sure.

Nothing wrong with HotA multiplayer. It's a Gameranger issue most likely, but they seem to think it has something to do with HotA, I suppose. I highly doubt this.
