Heroes of Might and Magic III Tips

Getting it to Install and Run on ChromeOS

For installation, dot net SP2 needs to be downloaded manually unless Codeweavers find a new link. I found the file at: http://www.it.nrru.ac.th/downl...

If you try to run Heroes after that, it will quit with a ddraw error. It appears that the "unusual" resolution is to be blamed for this. Try the following

  1. Launch 'Crossover'
  2. Highlight the bottle
  3. Select "Bottles|Properties"
  4. Under Control Panel, select "WIne Configuration" (double click)
  5. Under Graphics, choose "Emulate a virtual desktop" and leave it at 800x600.
  6. Run Heroes 3 now. It will work in a Window.

Please see Tips on Fullscreen play for an alternative to get it working full screen.
