I apologize in advance if I am being incredibly thick, but I am having a problem withe Heroes III, and I don't know if a "patch" will take care of the problem b/c I don't see a list of things the patches are supposed to fix...
I am running Windows XP (Without service pack 2) and have Direct X 9 (I believe) currently on my system.
I could swear that Heroes worked before I put on XP on...
At any rate, I had to delete H3 from my hard drive, and I have recently reinstalled it.
Upon installation, it gives system requirememnts that my PC passed, with the exception of the "Direct X" part, where it indicates that my system failed.
I don't know if the game doesn't recognize a later version or exactly what the deal is, but when I try and launch H3, I just get an error message.
Can someone PLEASE help me get back to one of my favorite games?
Can somebody PLEASE help me get Heroes III running?
Re: Can somebody PLEASE help me get Heroes III running?
To my experience the newer Directx versions work great despite the H3 detection system at some moment during install says "failed". However, have i missed something or you did not say what does the error message exactly tell you? Can you copy paste the message text please?momo wrote: I don't know if the game doesn't recognize a later version or exactly what the deal is, but when I try and launch H3, I just get an error message.
This is what I get:
Heroes of Might and Magic® III has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

It won't let me copy and paste anymore info in the error report, but it says it can include operating system and hardware in use...

Again this win XP ... make another particion based on win 98 or so and when u play heroes u will have to use that particion only.
I recently had bunch of problems with fresh hardware and old games they will not run because of the heavy incompatability issue. Good luck.

Just to give you guys who are having a little trouble some info, when it runs ur hard drive and tells you what your system has passed or failed, if it says failed and you know you have a better w/e that it says then dont worry about it. I had it say that like 5 things failed and thats because my dirext X, ram, hard drive space, and some other stuff were WAYYYY higher than what they required. Well i just wanted to let you know about that.
