Returning to Might and Magic 06/02/2016, 11:43:49

Hobbun writes: Hi all, I’m another returner to Might and Magic! I actually am going through HoMM3 right now, but also debating on starting up MM6, as well. One of my all time favorite RPGs. But it’s been so long since I’ve been here, I am not sure what would be the best patches for the game. I know I am going to need to download it from GOG most likely, as I have Windows 7 now. My HoMM3 Complete disc did ‘not’ work after I installed, but the $10 version I bought through GOG works beautifully. And also downloaded the HD Mod+ patch, as well as HotA mod. But as for MM6, after I repurchase on GOG, what do I need to download patch-wise to make the experience run better and enjoyable. I have heard of a Mok’s patch or Grayface’s patch, but not sure what is current or what I should download. I figured coming here I would be pointed in the right direction. Good to be here again!

Bones is the expert, but I'm pretty sure that the first step is that . . . - Peter2 ( Thu 02-Jun-16 16:18:14 ) +1 Grayface's patch fixes a few broken mechanics ... - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 16:34:09 ) link +3 By the way, maybe those patches will be already present in the GoG version. - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 16:39:38 ) +1 Thanks for the replies - Hobbun ( Thu 02-Jun-16 17:35:39 ) +2 Sorry, I don't. - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 19:49:17 ) +1 (OK, so the XP details are probably shown in the unpatched game as well, but the recovery times and the F2 key will still decide it.) (n/t) - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 19:52:49 ) (And/or just hit the key "F2" while inside the game. If everything starts to go at double speed, then Grayface patch is installed. If not, then it isn't.) (n/t) - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 19:50:22 ) +1 I actually went ahead and installed Grayface's patch. - Hobbun ( Thu 02-Jun-16 20:23:53 ) +2 Yep, double-checked and it's installed - Hobbun ( Thu 02-Jun-16 20:28:57 ) Of course, that was a good way to go as well. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Fri 03-Jun-16 03:57:54 ) And it fixes some problems in the game as well, - Ramillies ( Fri 03-Jun-16 05:27:06 ) File corruption problem? - Hobbun ( Fri 03-Jun-16 14:02:46 ) +1 I think so. - Ramillies ( Sun 05-Jun-16 08:46:46 ) No music? - Hobbun ( Fri 03-Jun-16 19:55:30 ) +1 All fixed - Hobbun ( Fri 03-Jun-16 20:37:55 )
