Hi there.
A couple of years ago I used to play HoMM 3 with a friend over GameRanger. Now, when coming back to try it again, we found that whoever hosts the game can choose the map and the like inside of the multiplayer lobby, but when the other person tries to join, they're simply met with the main menu screen and a loading cursor. No options to choose from, and the only way to close it is by way of the Task Manager.
Moreover, we have tried gaming over Hamachi, and I believe his game always disconnected.
Now what I'd like to ask is, can anything be done about this? I should mention that he has the GOG version of HoMM 3 and I have a retail version of it from this sort of complete anthology box. They are the same version, but I'm wondering whether this might have anything to do with it. Another small detail which might help would be that I also have Wake of Gods installed and he does not. I still use the vanilla HoMM 3 Complete launcher.
