Heroes 3 - Installation

Unread postby bobbobinson » 27 Nov 2006, 12:00

Having enjoyed Heroes 4/5 and HoF I'm thinking of purchasing Heroes 3 but concerned that it says 'Windows 95/98 compatible' - I have windows XP. will it work?

It should work, it works for me, and I haven't changed anything with it.

I have ubisoft heroes 3 complete and it works in xp.

From what I've read the original 3do works fine in xp.

Some people can't get it to run though.

I have old 3DO version and it works like a charm.As for ubi version,well it is newer,so it should work.I mean,it is logical to expect they boosted its compatibility,right :devious:

Installed and works fine for me too - P4 win XP Pro SP2.

Mine are the original boxed sets of H3, Armageddons Blade and Shadow of Death.

Thinking about WoG next...should I? Very wary of messing up the fun I have with current H3 if I have problems with crashes / bugs etc.

As DL said old 3DO version works like charm, so as all exp. packs encluding WoG best addon ever.

i also have the old 3DO version of Complete, and it works very well.

@Bonzer:
I was also afraid about that, but then i decided to install it anyway and even though im not sire that i like it, i dont think there should be a reason why you shouldnt install it. as far as i know, you have two icons - one for normal H3 and one for WoG so it wont mess up the plain game. and even if i does, it should be installed in a copy of the original game file so it should be a problem.
