s3rialthrill3r: Hey, your solution worked! How did you know to think that it would make a difference? The heroes move smoothly on the map just like they do in HoMM I. It's the only thing that was noticable performance wise (I never played this game back in the day). Are there any other things that still need improvement?
Well I thought of taht, because I've been searching and downloding in vain all kinds of heroes 2 versions, patches and stuff like that in my quest to get cd opera working. Nothing worked. Still, I noticed, that all exe files dont runn the same. At first, I simply replaced gog exe with some random homm version, wich I had downloaded from torrents and it worked better. Then I dicovered taht homm2.gog is actualy iso file and thats how I found this solution.
I also red something about changing prebuffer to 100 (homm2 config file within game directory) to remove sound poping or something like that. But still, compare it to windows version,(wtch by the way is in the same homm2.gog iso file called heroes2w.exe) and I think it's no question, witch performs better.
And since I recently discovered how to ged cd opera to work in windows version, I kind of lost interest in gog version, wich is sad, because they got audo to work right (like in midi settings tracks get paused), but have those choppy and stuttering graphics. :/
