I have not started MMX yet as I am finishing up Heroes of Might & Magic VI first. That said, I am used to the issues with UPLAY and Ubisoft. I am also going through Steam. Took me a while to get used to them, but now they are not so bad. At least UPLAY allows me to upgrade items for my HOMM VI heroes.I to have an upgraded gaming machine that will let me play Skyrim at high graphics level so the machine should not be an issue. My question is the operating system. I am running Windows Professional 7. I have read that issues occur with anything under Windows 8. Is this so? Do I need to upgrade before MMX or do you think they will put out a patch? I am waiting before getting MMX to make sure most of the patches are in.
