Heroes Chronicles also needs update. Music can be switched to high quality with a hex editor by searching for 22 56 00 00 10 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 in every Chronicles executable and changing it to 44 AC 00 00 10 00 00 00 02 00 00 00.

Unfortunately, the presence of Armorer bug in Heroes Chronicles needs further research.
i installed the update but it said
"This patch does not support your version of the game please download a new installer" ??

(my homm3 installer file is setup_homm3_complete_2.0.0.15.exe)

Can a perfect game get better? Looks like it can :)

Any news if the corrupted sound for portals and Dimension door in Heroes 2 has been fixed yet?
Unfortunately I don't have any saves with it to test, last I played it the screeching sound was still there.

edit: Found a map that has portals, it looks the sound was deleted altogether. It just goes quiet when using portals.

I had this problem too. You have to download the newest installer (setup_homm3_complete_2.0.0.16) and then apply the patch. So it's not really universal patch ;)
Patch returns me an error when I try to apply it: wrong version.

I can fix it in the morning. I apologise for the inconvenience. Or you could download build .16 if you don't want to wait.
For those curious: the update does work if you've installed the official patches.
Does anyone know how this interacts with the HD mod? I'm playing on a retina mbp, so it's pretty essential to me.

Oh, it's OK, I'm fine, I'm not on it right now. :D
Slight update:

I looked through files and I think it's better to leave the patch as it is.
The difference between build 15 and 16 lies in video.vid archive. Including this change in patch would increase its size up to 600 mb. So it's better to download new build anyway.

I'll try to hunt it down in my free time, but can't give any ETA.
