Heroes of Might and Magic® 3: Complete

What a shame... No optimization for modern monitors. I won't play 640x480 mode on my monitor 2560x1440 in fullscreen mode. It is weird. It is suitable for resources for another launchers like "HD Launcher" or "VCMI".

I have tried nearly everything on google and i still cannot get the game in fullscreen mode. The most common advide is press F4... Than i use "F4" and folliwing error message pops up!! "This game runs in 65536 color mode. You must switch the desktop to this mode before playing the game." I got no idea to change this. So please GOG - Do something

I can see why people who have played this game for a long time love it. Some of the gameplay and buildup is very fun. Some of the key gameplay mechanics are unappealing to me. You can build a hero unit up, only to encounter an enemy army that entirely annihilates his/her army, thus killing that hero off forever. There's no way to know if a group of enemies will join your army, or will start a battle with your army. The lack of ability to diagnose army size and power is a huge problem. Furthermore, once the battle starts, even if it's obvious that you're going to lose, you can't exit without shutting down the program. Does anyone else see the exploitation of females in this game as a problem? Every female I encountered was hypersexualized. I realize that they were trying to appeal to teenage boys with out-of-control hormones, but I would hope that we can recognize even in our games the dignity and real value of women.

As always I started with the tutorial. When I did, it did say one thing and that is I need to print the tutorial out. lol What?! I need to print it out? No, that's what the tutorial should have. I'm amazed that this game received over 8000 5 star ratings. I call B.S. on that and will never judge or buy a game here on COG again because of them. I gave up after trying to figure out the tutorial without printing it out. Tried twice and I got stuck and I sat there wondering when the text telling me what I should would pop up. There is no tutorial to this game as I have come to know them. I will never buy anything from this game company again.

Unfortunately you have to watch a five minute intro every time you want to play this game, which is unacceptable. There are registry tips but the game isn't showing on my Windows 10 machine and I shouldn't have to play with the registry either. Really poor stuff.
