So a friend of mine just bought the HD Complete version of HoMM 3 on gog and we're using gameranger to try and play this game together. We both have the HD+ mod installed and updated but we can't play the game.

We are generating a random map and we can join each other's hosted game but after the first move and the player "ends his turn" the player 2 (me for example), I can't move or do anything. We even tried with Windows Firewall off. What is going on? Seriously want to play this game with my friends.

These are my findings so far:

1. Gameranger> Able to join eachother's game smoothly and fast however the other player cannot do anything. Unable to move.

2. Tunngle> Not as fast when joining each other's game but we're able to move and play around 3 turns until either one of us crashes due to random reasons such as missing .dat files, player mysteriously "leaving" the game.
3. Hamachi> Can't even find eachother's game.

Fresh reinstalls, disabled firewalls, opened ports. Everything run as admin.

I need serious help playing online, anyone have any ideas?

UPDATE: Official post to gog game support>

I recently bought Heroes of Might and Magic 3 HD Complete from your website in search of playing online with a friend of mine. We both bought the game but we just can't get online to work and asking the community didn't help as nobody seems to reply. I've searched the web for several days for solutions but with no answer as no one seems to have the same problem.

We've tried to simulate the solutions by launching the game in each application 5 to 6 times using these methods:

Tried with both players hosting.
Ports are forwarded. (Both for the application hamachi, tunngle, gameranger) and the base game itself.
Firewalls are down.
Anti-viruses are off.
Compatibility modes.
HD+ and no HD+ mod, or any mod, just original.
GOG Galaxy.

We've tried to play online with the 4 different solutions:
Hamachi>Able to find each other's game and enter each other's game but we were unable to get through each other's loading screens. Unplayable.
Tunngle>Able to find each other's game and play for less than 5 to 6 turns and the host, which is me in this situation will just crash with a "retrying" data. Best solution so far, 4 to 6 rounds and then the host crash. If my friend hosts, I'm unable to even load. We both tried disabling router firewall and UpnP, did not work.
Gameranger>One of the players cannot do anything, not move.
Using each other's IP's>Can't even find each other's game.
