Welcome to the Might and Magic®VII update page.
This page has been provided to keep Might and Magic VII customers informed with the latest
updates and enhancements.
8/16/99: Below you will find a link and instructions on how
to download the Might and Magic VII update v 1.1 for the English version of the game.
*Important Note: Do not download and install this update if you are
running a non-English version of Might and Magic VII. International customers please
consult our International
Distributors for update information on non-English versions of Might and Magic VII.
This update addresses the following issues:
- Recharging Mr. Malwick's wand no longer gives the incorrect charge range. The fix also
corrects this problem in saved games.
- Wands found on the ground now have the proper amount of charges. This will result in no
wands showing up with "0" charges. This will prevent the wands from disappearing
when first used by a party member. These wands can also be recharged by a spell or potion
if the base charge is greater than one. The fix also corrects this problem in saved
games.
- The backpack no longer causes corruption, crashes or item duplication. The fix also
corrects this problem in saved games.
- The spear now causes the correct amount of damage with bonuses at expert level. The fix
also corrects this problem in saved games.
- Looking through the character inventory/spellbook in "The Pit" will no
longer cause an internal error. The fix also corrects this problem in saved games.
- The "Kill the Griffin" quest can be completed in all instances. The fix also
corrects this problem in saved games.
- The NPC Master Healer no longer wipes out the armor skills of the party. The fix
prevents this issue from reappearing in saved games, but does not restore previously lost
skills or points. The phantom "0" quest that may appear in the Quest Notes does
not affect gameplay.
- Any error message that occurs when traveling from one area to another has been
rectified. The fix also corrects this problem in saved games.
***Please Note: For a more complete list of changes, please check the
readme.txt file. This readme file will be located in your Might and Magic VII folder once
