How do you make the unlockable boxes in this forum? It's with [sblock] or something? Because the text file would be quite long.

Hey Momo, the only relevant information out of the ones you sent is your RAM (4 GB). The other ones we need are your processor (e.g. Intel iCore...) and your graphics card (e.g. Nvidia or other). You can find this info by right clicking on "My Computer" and then "Properties" or by going into your "Control Panel" and then find "installed devices", or whatever it's called in Italian. What operating system are you on? (which Windows version)


Your RAM is indeed little. I checked and it is exactly the minimum requirement to play the game, but it also depends on your processor and graphics card. And please make sure to lower all graphics options to the minimum.

This is not about specs: a turn-based strategy game such as Heroes VII should run like a charm in 90 % "modern" computers (i. e. bought within a range of 5 years), even more considering the poor job perpetrated with the graphical side (we're not talking about Doom 2016 or XCOM 2, for f* sake).

Not so long ago I acquired Supremme Commander, a game which has to deal with hundreds of 3D sprites at the same time, and it runs just perfectly fine under similar Momo's specs.

C'mon! This is about an unexperienced-unskilled team working against the clock, that's all.

I think it's more about the delusions of grandeur in someone's round, bald head when that someone commissioned such a game to be made.

Wise words Unfortunately, that is not something new. Game reeks of bad implementation and lack of any optimisation. Although, I'm certain that there will be people claiming that this is not true, that H7 is perfect, and that everyone needs better computers

you can correct me if I'm wrong, that momo already has downloaded double the recommended RAM requirements of Heroes 6, a game which itself was optimised like ****,

so, all that to play a sequel which is built on a better engine but is is so badly put together it actually takes up three to four times as much memory, and looks on par or arguably even worse lol

I can search for those, they are in the same window as these I posted, but I fail to see how this is relevant. Like I said, Legacy of the Void (SC2) runs fine and not even on the minimum graphics settings; almost never it does slow down or freeze. HOMM7 on minimum graphics settings has trouble at even starting the game. What more there is to say?

@Momo

Hmm, I had similar problems with some games, as they just didn't want to run on some machines, without any good reason.

You probably did allready update all drivers, like the the graphic card driver and etc, but if you haven't, it's worth trying.

Also, an unrelated thing, but I don't think it was noticed that the White Tiger in Heroes VII, has the same portrait as the one from Heroes IV:

I think that'c certainly intended as Lost Tales were made to be as similar to H4 as possible.

Let's compare loading times between both games...

I agree that the game is very poor optimized and in my opinion a computer bought to run H6 should run H7 without problems... but Momo is trying to run a game made in 2015 in a computer that meet the requirements of a 2005 game. Less than 2G RAM available, no dedicated GPU, probably a 32 bits OS, he stated that is a notebook so a slow HD (and with virus until few days ago)...
It seems a computer for daily job 8 years ago, not for gaming (neither that time).
Again, I agree that H7 is very poor optimized and there is no excuse one year after release. I'm not trying defend one side or antagonize for nothing, I'm just highlighting one specific point that called my attention when that enormous loading times was informed. It couldn't be only the game.

A game should run decently on the lowest options when you have the minimum specs required.

I mean, I could play Skyrim on a low-end PC from 2008/2007 (I can't quite remember), which could barely reach the minimum specs, and yet, with a bit of tweaking it ran quite smoothly.

A game that ran sluggishly on an higher end computer bought the year after Skyrim came out, only now that I've upgraded the Graphics card it works as it should at the highest options.

I run windows 8.1 (T_T) and a intel core i5. The graphic engine is a nvidia geforce, I don't know which one but it isn't anything special nowadays, and it never was, not even when I got the PC.

But still, it gave me problem only for this specific game and Heroes 6 (before patch 2.1).

It ran Naruto Storm 3 without the slightest issue, Dark Souls 2 with never a single problem, and neither is a game of ten years ago, I'm told. And as I said, f***ing Starcraft 2 LotV runs fine as well.

I'm not saying my PC is a powerhouse, I am very conscious that it isn't, but statistically speaking I really don't get how many of you keep stubbornly saying that it isn't just the game's fault.

EDIT:

In all fairness, and to make my point even clearer if it wasn't already, I am having some minor problems with the stability of my connection these days. One could think that HOMM7 checks repedeatly if you are online, that's why even after I got Uplay and Steam rolling and I got in the game's opening screen, when I try to load the game senses some instability in the link and freezes - because it fails some hidden periodical checks. "Then it's your connection's fault, no the game's, right?" No, not right. I paid 30E, I agreed the idiotic notion of having to authenticate online EVERY TIME I want to play, then I just want to play. If you (the dev) build such an absurd, obsessive game system that freezes the game for ten minutes and more because the connection goes low for a fraction of second, then it's your (the dev's) fault, not of my connection. Because the system you designed is stupid and is preventing me from playing what I paid for. Everything else is just making excuses.

You should have better times with this combo, maybe the game does not like your computer :-). There are people that cannot play H6 until today because the black screen problem.

Agreed. I also play the game on a 2008 PC and I just counted 1 min 35 secs from the moment I clicked the game on Steam till my saved game had loaded. I noticed, however that the map loading time is longer when you start a new map, I would say around 30-45 secs longer.

I fully agree that the game is not optimized(for me the most notorious issue is the memory leak), but I still would not recommend to play any recent game with only 4 GB RAM (except if it is specifically made for low-end systems). The RAM issue that H7 has makes this factor even more critical.

That's the thing: you shouldn't need a hardware equipped with more than that for playing H7 (remember, a retro-styled-nostalgic piece of junk), which by the way is not a modern game in technical terms (I've seen better indie games in the last years...)

Anyway, if you people are counting on solving this issue by increasing your precious RAM, take a look at these links first:
