Greetings.
Faced an issue with launching ERA after the update of mod to 1.1.1.
Win11 24H2, Launcher 1.1.1, ERA 2.148, HD mod 5.5.
Once i try to start the game up nothing happens. Tried to clean install all of the components, did things described in “known issues”, but still the same.
HotA and VCMI works fine though.
Any advice on how to fix woulf be highly apperciated.
Thnx
Since the last ERA update the game does not run. The rest games, for example HotA, launch ok from Heroes Launcher.
I have already tried configuring the options indicated in DEP_tutorial.html but it still doesn’t work.
any help?
Hello, same thing here, after the last update the louncher doesnt work, the game cant start. I also tried everything, different HD mod seting, rolling back last updates etc. Any help pls??
Hi. At some point “mod browser” stopped working. It shows in task bar but doesn’t load properly, only a transparent window in the preview
Everytime i create a new game , it crash … i try to create a new game, change settings or use non-HD version, try to rollback to earlier version of HD mod, but game still crash at the world creation and i not able to play
any way to fix that ? Im on Windows eleven and ERA 2.122
Thanks
Hi, did you follow this guide for installation? https://heroes3wog.net/how-to-install-and-setup-heroes-launcher-with-era-3-wake-of-gods/
I have homm 3 complete from GOG saved in programfilesx86 yet when trying to install wog it says it cannot use that folder. How do I get around this?
You need to install heroes 3 somewhere else than programfilesx86. I moved it to “documents” and it worked
Does “TUM Enchanted” work with “Advanced Classes Mod” ?
I reinstalled and am using the mods that are already in the mod manager at time of install and ERA HOMM3 works perfectly. But I do miss the ability to upgrade monsters to their third level. I’m apprehensive about installing “TUM Enchanted v2.21”. I would like the upgrading to third level but am afraid of conflicts.
What are your thoughts?
Thank for responding. Sorry for double posting my first question.
Hi, the easiest way is to try it. Installation via Mod Browser is easy.
Alternatively, install the Third Upgrade mod, it is compatible with AC
I updated to Launcher v1.1.1 When creating a random game on the page where you can select a hero and type of castle, the words for water content and monster strength are in Russian. All othere words are in English. It did not do this with v1.05 that I updated from. Please advise me.
Hi, what version of ERA Assembly do you have? 2.120? Is it possible that you have activated some modification? Email me a screenshot of Mod manager (admin@heroes3wog.net).
Thank you for answering.
Third Upgrade Mod was causing the Russian language on the “water content” and “Monster Strength” buttons so I have to do without it. All programs are updated to their latest versions.

The game now locks up in battle on the commander’s turn (brute), then crashes after a few seconds.
Latest updates to the launcher and ERA.
you probably updated the HD mod to the latest version, which unfortunately broke all of ERA 3. Open the HD mod settings and click on uninstall and then on Rolback last update.
Nao consigo instalar ele na versao HD da steam, ele funciona nessa versao? coloco no caminho onde esta o jogo mas ele nao reconhece que tem o jogo instalado.
I can’t install it on the steam HD version, does it work on this version? put in the way where is the game but it does not recognize that has the game installed.
Hi, no mod is compatible with this version. https://heroes3wog.net/dont-buy-heroes-of-might-and-magic-iii-hd-edition-steam/
With the new 1.1 update after installing one mod for era 3 i cant install any other mods. The old version of this stupid launcher was so much freaking better
Same issue, stuck at 0kb/s for any mods after installing just one mod. Has to close and open the launcher again just to download another mod, and then repeat the whole process for another one….
Maybe the firewall is blocking the download, add Heroes Launcher to the exceptions.
Where was the problem?
I have a strange bug in the current version. When leveling up, random primary skill decreases by 1 or more. This decrease works for my friend when playing multiplayer too. Any suggestions?
There’s a new bug in online multiplayer with the First Aid skill. If you have the First Aid skill and you use the tent, the game freezes up for several long seconds and you can’t move anything. Eventually the game unfreezes and you can continue play, but the healing amount is very low. This happens every time you use the tent, and makes the skill unusable, and the game too slow.
Also, the AI heroes randomly lock up on the map after a few months into the game, and won’t move for the rest of the game. But on their turn, the game freezes up for several long seconds and you can’t move anything. Eventually the game unfreezes and the computer moves on to the next AI hero. This happens every turn once the AI heroes start doing this, and makes the game unplayable. This is a long standing bug.
How do i Fix the Movement Bug in the Game?
It just destroys the Game for me.
Tried to fix it with the “heroes3.ini” thing, but i got no CPU-Patch in the Editor.
Is there any other Way to fix it?
Hi, what movement bug do you mean? I have never noticed anything like that. Can you describe the problem more? Or make a video?
Hi,
I also have the same issue. And also cant fix even with the heroes3.ini. The issue is: when running on ERA (only ERA, HOTA works good), when moving your hero is moving and you move your mouse cursor too, it freezes the game, only returning to the normal when i stop moving my mouse cursor.
The game freezes and you keep hearing horse steps all the time, as if you are with infinite move.
Some people asked to change couple configurations on heroes3.ini, but it is not working. I really appreciate any help.

Hi, this problem has already been solved if you mean this: https://heroes3wog.net/how-to-solve-hero-movement-lag-wog/
Are you using the latest version of Heroes Launcher? https://heroes3wog.net/heroes-launcher-download/
Help please, when trying to install it says “No connection to server”
Heroes Launcher is missing download resumption function, meaning, if download speed drops to zero, it forces us to resume downloading from beginning, which wastes a lot of time.
*edit*
Seems it can be resumed from the place it left too, yet it’s annoying it has to be done manually, by pausing and unpausing.
Also I can download on browser at up to 300kb/s with this sh*tty connection, while the Heroes Launcher downloads only up to 70kb/s – why ? Are you limiting download speed ?
Does this also install the HD MOD as well or does that need to be installed prior to this?
One other issue, I do the install and just as shown in the video and when I try to play the WoG the Campaign for WoG is not there just RoE, AB, SoD and Heroes Chronicles, well Heroes Chronicles is not there it just lets you load it if you have the files.
the old WoG campaigns are not yet compatible with the new versions of ERA 3, so they are missing. If you want to play the campaigns, download this build: https://heroes3wog.net/wake-of-gods-campaign-build-for-playing-wog-campaigns-only-and-nothing-more/
yes, it already includes HD mod
Hello. I try to launch a launcher through a Crossover on a Mac and I catch an error “The program HeroesLauncher.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close”. Maybe any ideas? I downloaded from GitHub only an exe file and bottled it in the same bottle as I have HOMM3 GOG version.
Hello, I’m from Ukraine, but now I’m in Germany, when I was in Ukraine, I installed heroes 3 era without any problems without fear of getting a fine, so I want to ask if I can also install mod era here for free and legally through the launcher, if someone knows the answer please tell me.
Hi Dima, installing Heroes Launcher is completely free and you don’t have to worry about any fines. The only thing you need for installation is the GOG version of Heroes 3 Complete (can usually be bought on GOG for €2.39).

Got it, thanks for the reply
Hi, after some time luncher stop works. When I start the lucher icon on task bar showing up but lucher window dosent show up.
Hi, this could be caused by an antivirus blocking Heroes Launcher. Try turning AV off for a while and then start HL.
Still the same.
Have you tried a clean install? Delete everything completely and install again?
Yes, its very strange. Its works perfectly and one day stoped. AV, clean instal nothing helping.
Email me at admin@heroes3wog.net and we’ll figure something out.

Third upgrade mod makes ai slow . 2.18.2 version is stable and works fine
Long AI turns are caused by Third Upgrades mod (and how to partially fix it)
This new launcher is unplayable for me, AI takes 15-30 sec to make turn on day 1, with old launcher it takes less the 1 sec, anyone knows how to fix it? 🙂
I you use Third upgrade mod and its is updated to current version it makes AI slow not nessery launcher. It works fine with 2.18.2 version and atm TUM seems to be looked at by creator
Long AI turns are caused by Third Upgrades mod (and how to partially fix it)

I managed to install the launcher, but then, when I try to install a game, immediatly after selecting the location of the complete hmm3 from GOG, I have a “no connection to server” error message…
Не начинается загрузка модов, из-за чего, как исправить, подскажите?
Hmmm, somebody managed to open this launcher with Winlator on android device?
It crashes all the time …. Why we need to change from the previous Launcher ?!?!
Watch the video. Also, the new launcher adds a lot of capability, flexibility, consolidation, etc. It makes adding mods easier. The interface is easier.
I wish they’d actually consolidate all of the HoMM and MM games into one single launcher, though. Like the “Might and Magic 6, 7, 8 merge based on mm8 engine” mod, available on the Celestial Heavens forum. It would actually simplify this website (heroes3wog.net) a ton as well.
As for crashing, I had that initially. Had to do some troubleshooting. Once that was done, everything was smooth. Still there are some bugs regarding the WoG scripts not executing. Growing pains, teething issues.
same i cant run h3era.exe
anyone has the same issue?
I uninstall all previous versions of ERA 3 / ERA 3 Launcher. Then make clean installation of Heroes Launcher. Use it to install ERA 3 and everything will work.
Im an IT guy, just to mention. I have a GOG version and followed install stpes above and Im facing same issue, not possible to start a game from launcher. I click Play and nothing happen. I made a few clean reinstalls and its still the same.
When I first run Launcher, install ERA mod, Im able to click on Play and run HD Launcher but when I close HD Launcher then Im not able to run that launcher by clicking on Play. I turned off ESET antivirus and allow all network traffic just to be sure nothing is not blocked.
All drivers are up to date, Windows 11 PRO newest update: 22631.4112 .
I made a virtual machine with W10 22H2 and follow all steps to install ERA/WOG and everything is working fine withou any issues.
So there is an issue with Windows 11 or some W11 update. I troubleshoot it a lot today and nothing worked.
Thanks for the heads up. I will find out with the author of HeroesLauncher how the compatibility with Windows 11 Pro is.
After upgrading from the previous version, I cannot load during battle in WoG (I can in HotA). I could before. I have the latest versions of the launcher and HD mod. The is set to 1 in era.ini. Does anyone else have this issue?
