My friend Dave and I really enjoy playing multiplayer Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (especially to cheer ourselves up during isolation.) We’ve both bought the game through Steam and had one successful session. However we can’t get a second session going - please can you help us?! Here’s what we remember from the first time: - I launched the Heroes 3 through Steam and chose ‘host’ - I went to the friends menu and offered to ‘friend’ Dave - Dave accepted (that worked, because we are now on each other’s ‘friend’ list) - I ‘invited’ Dave to enter the game - Dave accepted - now I could set up a multiplayer game (we chose Dave + I v 2 computers) - we played for a couple of hours, then I saved (that worked, because I can see the saved game) However today I couldn’t add Dave to the game. 🙁 I launch Heroes from Steam, go to saved games and then click on ‘Invite’. I choose to ‘Invite’ Dave and my screen says the invitation has been sent. However Dave can’t see how to accept the invitation. Any ideas? ---

This’ll probably get more help in the Game Room. Moving.
