I did not know that 32mb of RAM is less than 2gb?

Great submit, but you messed up the title. Awesome game, btw.

System instability for Heroes III? I'd say it's worth it.

It's not unstable. The game runs perfectly. The installer is screwy, though.

I think the game requires that you have exactly 32MB of RAM to run the game. You may experience over-RAMming.

I am actually playing it right now and it's working. I think it's that in those times they had no idea that we will still be playing this game 20 years later or so after it came out. So they just had no idea that people with 2gb or more of RAM would play this game.
4
they probably just didn't make the installer differentiate between mb and gb, so it's reading it as 2<32, as the idea of 1000mb of RAM is clearly preposterous! who needs to run encarta that fast?

Could be worse. At least your not running on negative ram.

Afterall, no one will ever need more than 640K of RAM.

Is that the best Heroes of Might and Magic game? I'm looking at buying it on Amazon, seeing as it's so cheap.
2
Yes it is the best Heroes of Might and Magic game. It's an expansion pack so to play it you need to have to have HoMM 3. I think that this game started the era of all the strategic turn based games.

Even better than IV and V? It's not too expensive on Amazon, so I might buy it.

I believe anyone who plays old games encountered this issue at least once in their life.
My encounter happened with SWKotOR years ago. It recommended me to "upgrade" my NVidia 7800GTX 512mb to a NVidia Geforce4 Ti 128mb or better.

Both cards are pretty outdated.

Could not upvote you enough for HoMM!

Heroes 3 rocks! If you install heroes 2 on a modern computer it will tell you your computer is not fast enough to handle it. Heroes 3 > heroes 2 > Heroes 1 > heroes 5 > heroes 4

It is

You just failed as hard as the coders man lol. /facepalm

Be sure to dl in the wake of gods with that (awesome fan mod). I love you for playing that game

I grew up playing Heroes of Might and Magic. I'm sorry your computer is to dumb to allow you to do the same.

And why did you feel the urge to post this?

...And why did you feel the urge to say that?
2
The real question is why you felt the urge to say that? But surely no one could question the validity of my asking why you asked why he asked.
2
I agree...but just out of curiosity, why would you say such a thing?
2
Damn! I should have mentioned curiosity. I mostly said it because...well...umm...
Runs away.

Microsoft did not make the game. The game is several years old. You are the idiot here.

Unfortunate that people feel the need to downvote even the post that admits a mistake. :-\
sympathy upvote
Edit: Bunch of wankers.

I upvoted. Admitting a mistake is WAY harder than being witty or informative.

32MB IS less than 2GB
But yeah, fail on the unit-checking.
Haha! Wow yes I did mess it up :)
