Might and Magic IX Loading Screen Fix
06/30/2011, 18:10:05

    Cinder Raccoon writes:

    I was most displeased when I searched for solutions to this problem and all I saw was "alt-tab," so I put my tiny little mind in gear and found a way to stop the game from hanging on loading screens.

    Anyway, I found that by deleting the loading screen and loading boat images that the game will no longer hang when loading. Sometimes, it's just the stupidest little things that'll fix a problem.

    The necessary files(and instructions) for doing this are here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HFPHB8MD

Sorry to say that TELP doesn't have this archived. Perhaps one of our patrons does. Please?

Loading screen fixed! Alternative to the archive's broken link.

    I don't have the original files from megaupload. But I figured out what they contained and what to do. You need to delete some files contained in two of the .REZ files in the game folder. To do this you need a .REZ decompiler... thing. Follow these steps:

    -Get a .REZ file opener.
    I used WinRez LT by BlackAngel. You can google it to download.
    WARNING! My anti virus had a cow over WinRez. The .exe seemed shady. And it was very unstable and caused windows explorer to freak out. Though it did eventually solve the problem. I think it's a windows7 thing. If you use WinRez in windows7, be sure to run it as administrator.

    -Open the "data" folder in the game's install directory. Default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\3DO\Might and Magic IX\data"

    -Copy ART.REZ and LOCALART.REZ and back these files up somewhere else on your computer. Put them somewhere the game can't find them. Maybe even rename them.

    -Open your .REZ opener (WinRez)

    -With your .REZ opener, open the ART.REZ file that is in your game's install directory.

    -Navigate the file hierarchy to get to ART\LOADSCREEN then delete LOADINGBOAT-LEFT.PCX

    -Navigate the file hierarchy to get to ART\LOADSCREEN then delete LOADINGBOAT-RIGHT.PCX

    -Navigate to ART and delete NULL.PCX

    -Save the ART.REZ file. (This is where WinRez might be buggy. It eventually did finish saving the file but I needed to run the program as administrator.)

    -With your .REZ opener, open the LOCALART.REZ file that is in your game's install directory.

    -Navigate the file hierarchy to get to LOCALART\LOADSCREEN then delete LOADINGBG.PCX

    -Save the LOCALART.REZ file.

    This fixed the loading screen freeze up for me so I didn't have to alt/tab every 30 seconds. I'm probably never coming back to this thread to check on questions or whatever. So interested parties... please propagate this posting and respond to follow-ups.

    WinRez LT completely messed up my Windows Explorer.

    I've uploaded the edited ART.REZ and LOCALART.REZ with the loading boat taken out to this link, so nobody else has to run WinRez:

    Just replace your ART.REZ and LOCALART.REZ with the ones in the .rar

    do mind, the file WILL probably be gone in a few days since were changing websites

    still i hope to be able to re upload it as the new site has settled in, if not drop me a line

    as i stated, the files WORK but you have to be wait for a few seconds when switching any screen or going into the menu.

Thanks! This is a modified DATA.REZ file. What version was the original?.
09/08/2012, 13:36:32

    Bones writes:

    There are several versions of DATA.REZ available -- 3DO's (1.0 and 1.1 might be identical), TELP's 1.2, and Ubisoft's version.
