I installed it on FC3/AMD64 and both the original 1.2 and the 1.3.1a
patch works. I don't need that Flash plugin when I can play Heroes3. :-P
The installation was not automatic, I had to extract the installer and
convince the script that x86-64 should be treated as plain x86.
But the game works and only the network game segfaults. SELinux is on.
