Heroes 3 messeging

Unread postby Styledatol » 01 May 2006, 19:02

Hello, Im new here, but I play the Might and Magic series for years.
I have a problem with multiplayer games....

Im playing heroes 3 WoG 3.68f, never before I experienced any problems.
Few days ago I was playing multiplayer (ip) game against my gf. The first 10 minutes were fine, we sent each other messages.
After about 10 minutes I was no longer able to recieve any messages from her, or send any. I can type, it shows that I sent, but she doesn't recieves it. it happened in a few games, and its annoying me :mad:

Can anyone help?

I think you should ask this in the WoG section

dial-up or cable ? because it is most possible that your connection just broke (someone got disconnected).... the worse scenario would be that something caused a de-sync... AFAIK, WoG is pretty unstable in MP, so you should only play verified desync-free scripts when playing MP :)
hope it helps...

Latest version aka DirectX9.0a is always good. Microsoft is providing patch for it, alas security fix as well. But I still have no clear idea if this is the famous fix...

Use dxdiag command under Start --> Run to obtain your dx information ;)

You need to get the .DLL file from the WoG site (via FilePlanet) and put it into the main WoG folder on both computers.

Here's a direct link:

Also, I highly recommend using Hamachi for a better, faster and more robust connection. It's free. Here's a link to the Hamachi site:

Hmm..., and what's the trick with dx8 ipsocket library?

...because, if it's not modified, it's standart part of any DirectX.

I believe more in Hamachi....

The new DX ipsocket library simply doesn't work with WoG for MP games (Microsoft changed something), so that's why you have to use the old one.
