HOMM 3 installed, but crashes during play - fix?

Hi Everyone,

I have HOMM 3 complete from GOG installed, I used the CodeWeavers default - so it is in a Win 7 bottle. It launches fine, but when I try and play, it freezes with looping music and a frozen mouse each time.

I notice on windows forums, this is attributed to multi-threaded CPUs, and seems to be solved by limiting the game to running on one CPU and/ or running on old windows in virtualization.

Is there an easy fix with Crossover?

OP here again - I tried the fix for freezing on the GOG website - but no go, it still freezes up a minute or two into any game.

I am having the same issue and have not found a fix. Sorry about that, but you are not alone. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm on an M1 MacBook Air.

I need help, im on M1 pro , i cant even get the game started. on windows 7 64bit bottle
