Feenor, what OS are you using, where Heroes3 folder is located and what executable do you run?
I run the standard h3era.exe file. I got 3 copies of Heroes installed, the one I got current Era version on is in c:\program files\ubisoft\heroes of might and magic iii - zlota edycja - kopia\. The directory in which it searches for "GameExt.pas" doesn't exist, it looks for D:\... which is a CD station on my PC. I've googled the problem and it was the same for somebody else. The suggestions to run as administrator, in compatibility mode with XP/98, change DEP settings didn't help. Thing is, Era worked for me perfectly and something has messed up while for few months I haven't been doing anything related to Heroes at all. I had the previous version back then, upgraded to new Era and the problem persists.
Edit: somehow in the folder where I just had SoD + Era it works, pre and post updated to newest version. So the issue is fixed, as there's some real mess in my other catalogues with HoMM and number of possible factors causing crash is too high. Only problem remaining is script related: after a (won) battle with hero from the Random Hero script, the game crashes, any other fix for this other than turning off the script?

I tested a again without cheat, choose castletown build step by step all like a normal game. It still crash someday. It only happens when you open town screen and not only happens in castletwon.
My version is Era2.46, i use Homm3 Complete(4.0) to update to Era.The first time i suffer this problem is Era1.8.

No idea other than OS problem, try win95/XP compatibility. if the crash is constant, upload the save before, if it is random, I have no clue why.

If it is same problem as was mine with Pentium 4 HT do this:
1) Open heroes3.ini in ERA folder
2) Set UseOnlyOneCpuCore to 1 (UseOnlyOneCpuCore=1)
3) Check again if it randomly crashes

What is "OS"? I dont know its meaning. Seems nothing to do with save, i tested. If load save the place game crashed first time may not crash this time.
I guess it like some reason memory overflow, it only happens that sudden moment when you try to open town screen. If screen opened successfully, it will not crash when you are in this town screen.
And i guess if you successfully open a town screen, this town will not crash anymore. I tried open a town screen and then open close open close many times(more than 20times) , it never crash.

Thx fot the suggestion. I just tested town. It has nothing to do with cpu core. Set UseOnlyOneCpuCore=1 and town screen still crash. My system is Win7 64 and when i use a pc with XP 32 this problem still happen.

I was trying to implement random hero in Phoenix myself and faced constant crashes. So it's seems there is a problem with this feature, but I didn't investigate for it root.

My problem with picking up artifacts and crashing is now solved, i just did what go1go2go3 said with the CPU use 1 core and i also ran as administrator and i have now picked up many artifacts and played for about 4 hours with no crashes. I upgraded the red dragons in the Dungeon castle and for some reason it says -2 for how many i can buy and -2 for the sulfur they cost, and their weekly growth is 65534 but on the new week i don't get that many i just have 0 weird but at least its not crashing anymore.

Im not sure whether its era's problem or maybe other reason. But i feel it offen happens when a town with many buidings.
Maybe game try to load building files when opening townscreen and this moment some unknown reason cause files could not load in time, then game crashed, I guess. Im so confused.

Some more things regarding the "Random Hero" crash:
- the crash appears after a won battle, the last executed ERM command shows as "!!IF:V787/0; //set flag 787 false for the next battle" which bothers me because in the .erm script the exact same line is with flag 786 instead of 787;
- I've noticed that if I lose battle with the monster stack on map which has random hero and the win second battle with these monsters (with random hero), the crash doesn't appear;
- not sure if this is revelant, but before the crash window pops up, the player colour flag above my hero on adventure map disappears for a split second;
- the naive attempt for fixing this with replacing 2012 ERA version of this script with original 2004 WoG version obviously failed (the bugs were numerous like henchmen and karmic monsters from karmic battle script not appearing, or the getting crash message upon entering battle).
And regarding my previous issue: with clean ERA on SoD install I get this crash only if I try to run Era with WoG turned off in the options menu.

Feenor, thank you for the detailed report. I'm pretty sure that the problem can be solved, but it needs investigating. Not my task currently.
go1go2go3, this thing along with a few others were fixed in TE because of multiple online abilities to cheat. I've already enabled "Next Hero" button and will write down your request too.
