I'm pretty sure the first time you play HoMM3 the intro can't be skipped. So question is, do you make a fresh install every time you play (as you play rarely), or does it fail to save that intro has already been played. Also using HD Launcher might help.

IIRC (this was a while ago), it saves a key into the Windows registry. But somehow, it overwrites it the next time I launch or quit the game, so I can skip the intro after I modify the key, but then it reverts.

I haven't had the patience to debug it and see exactly when it changes the value.

Update: They finally fixed it on the latest patch (13th of November).

Thank you GOG!
