Heroes III Win7 help

Unread postby Xdarkon » 04 May 2013, 10:13

Guys, I recently installed Vanilla heroes III but to my dismay the game started crashing after 10-20 mins of gameplay. I can live with that but it started crashing every few minutes. I play an Acer Aspire One Netbook, Does anyone know how to fix this? I know there is something with imegecfg but I don't know what to type

Try HDMod

It may be a sound issue.

Yea, turn off the music and see if that helps.

Solution here: viewtopic.php?t=10659&start=60

HD mod cannot be used with the vanilla H3.

Oh, right, setting affinity to one core might solve that as well.

Used the one core script for a while. When I added it I went from a crash every hour to a crash every month. It fixes so many problems.
