Heroes III Complete Patch   Message List

"The 3DO Company and New World Computing
Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete
Version 4.0.1 Update
March 2001

Thank you for updating the Heroes of Might and Magic III
Complete game. This update corrects some known issues that
should make playing the Heroes III: Complete game even more
fun.

* Game now correctly runs Spoils of War campaign.

* Trade with Allied Heroes in a multiplayer game no longer
randomly displays any memory errors.

* Inadequate Video Settings dialog no longer appears when
running in Millions of Colors.
This patch has been floating around 3DO's offices since this
spring, but they chose not to release it because they the demand
was (supposedly) low, and it would cause too much trouble if
the patch inadvertently introudced new bugs to the game.
However, they have e-mailed it to some people who asked for it.
If any of these issues bother you, you can fill out their support
form and request it."


So, the update that was completed in March has finally seen the
light of day. Apparently, if you fill out their support form and
request the patch, they may send it to you. This is according to
one person who recieved it in an e-mail from 3DO. I filled out the
support form a couple days ago myself, but have yet to recieve a
response. The form is here for those who would like the patch:

mac%2Femail.htm

It is not available for download on their site at the moment. They
said this is due to low demand for the patch.

I would like to have the patch just for the resolution message. It's very annoying in multiplayer games when you want to go back to the desktop....

I haven't had problems with either of these games crashing on me. I wonder if you might be close to the minimum memory the game wants? But yeah, the Heroes III...

... I haven't had this at all - not even on the original Erathia CD. I have a G4 with 192 MB, so maybe it's a memory thing. Mind you, I'm having big problems...
