HoMM3 HD issue

Post by jsmith0523 »

Hello,

I have HoMM3 working. I tried to install and run HoMM3 HD, but the patched executable acts exactly the same as the normal executable. Here are my steps:
(1) installed HoMM3 HD 3.28f
(2) ran the launcher
(3) set resolution to 1366x768
(4) created HD exe
(5) ran Heroes3 HD.exe
and the result looked and acted exactly like Heroes3.exe (works fine on Windows 7).

My system specs:
-Linux Mint 13 Xfce 64-bit
-PlayOnLinux 4.1.10-dev (for using using different wine versions)
-Wine 1.3.19 and 1.5.23 (tested both)
-HoMM3 HD 3.28f
-gog.com version of HoMM3

Has anyone been able to run HoMM3 HD successfully? What is your setup?

Thanks!

Found a solution.

Creating an executable does not work properly in Wine. To get it working run the launcher, set the resolution, select "Heroes3.exe" and Launch that. This only works with Wine 1.5.16 and above.
