Hello,

I am having problems with HOMM4 freezing up on me every few turns or so in Win 10. Also, whenever I quit the game I get an error message telling me that HOMM4 has stopped working and needs to close.

I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling it but that didn't help. I tried running HOMM4 in different compatibility modes: XP SP 2 and 3; Win 7 (When I had Win 7 it worked with no problem); and Win 98. None of those compatibility modes helped.

Anybody else having the same problem?

Can anybody help?

TIA,
kk

I had a similar problem with Heroes 4, on Windows 7. When I started a map, the game would slow down so much that it became almost unplayable. Like you, I tried setting compatibility mode, but it didn't work. I also tried setting the game to use only one processor; I understand HoMM 4 has a problem with multi core processor, but that didn't fix my problem.

The only thing that fixed it for me was this: I opened nVidia Control Panel and went to the "Manage 3D settings" option and in the "Program Settings" tab I disabled all the options that I could for it. From what I've read on another thread, only 3D options should be disabled, but since I didn't had time to test each one I disabled all. I have an nVidia graphics card, but I think AMD cards should also have similar options.

I also installed the Equilibris mod and the changes from above have been made with it. I don't think it's required to be installed, but it fixes some of the issues of the game.
