Well, let's hope your location changes frequently now... you won't be stuck in Harmondale for the entire game, will you? Heh-heh. :smile09:

:smile45: Guys, help me! I can’t teleport to Celesta. It says there’s an error, but it doesn’t explain where. It asks if I want to save before exiting the game. Then, I enter the game, load the autosave, and everything is dark everywhere in Celesta, like it’s night! And I can’t proceed further in the quest. :(

Wouldn't it be easier to download from the internet? There are many places where you can download games for free.
Could you please share a link to these places?:p

Could you please provide a link to those places? :p
I can't anymore. :smile27: After I reinstalled Windows, all my browser favorites were, naturally, lost. I've only managed to restore about 1/10 of all the links, and none of them are related to games... :smile35:

I never had these issues with the 7th game because it was the collector's edition. There were some problems with invisible units, real problems, but in the end, I just ignored them. By the way, what do Manticores look like? With the 8th game, there were and still are problems. There isn't a collector's edition for the 8th game.

The link to patch v1.1 has been updated.

It would have been easier to post on the Booki website.

In the 7th part, they forgot to add manticores to the game, and you can only encounter them in the arena.
And in the 8th part, set compatibility mode, remove the HP menu, and disable hardware acceleration.

Everything worked fine for me right away, except for the truly invisible enemies (only the jellyfish in Mount Eofol). And indeed, where are the manticores supposed to be? Maybe we didn't explore the entire game; they must be hidden somewhere. I didn't manage to reach the end of the labyrinth.

The game ran fine on my old computer, but after I bought a newer one, I can't launch it. During installation, it says that a Pentium 2 is required and displays a question mark next to my system specifications. Please help, I really want to play! :(

P.S. I have the collector's edition of "Heroes".

Many versions of Might and Magic VII don't work under WinXP; I had the same issue. I read many different articles about Compatibility Toolkits, reducing the number of screen colors to 16-bit, making changes in dxdiag, and other strange things, but none of them worked. I was already thinking about installing Win98, but then I came across the "Unofficial Patch v1.21 by Mok."
Here are the patch's features:
-Ability to play on Win2k/XP
-Support for modern graphics and sound
-A whole bunch of bugs that were still present in the official patch 1.1 have been fixed

As a result, by downloading just over 1MB, all problems are solved, plus you get excellent graphics and sound. I highly recommend it!

P.S.: Since links to websites are prohibited by the rules, I uploaded the patch to narod.ru, which is reliable and stable, plus a copy on the forum, so you can choose whichever is most convenient.

This helped me!

I can't seem to install it:smile32:
I'm specifying the path to the game folder: C:\Program Files\Buka\MMCollection\MM_VII\Might & Magic VII, and it says the game wasn't found in the folder. Could it be that this patch is only for the regular version of the game, and not for the Buka version?

My old computer had Windows XP, just like this one. It had a Pentium 4, and I upgraded to a Core 2 Duo. When I try to launch the game, it gives me a Microsoft error asking if I want to send an error report or not.

Hooray!!! I got it working! Compatibility settings with 98/ME helped.

Hehe, but on my disk, it's not a collection, not a licensed copy, not a pirated version, everything works fine, everything is visible. In general, as I noticed, the pirated version has many bugs; I haven't played it myself, but I've heard about them from others...

Yes, the pirated Collector's Edition runs perfectly on Windows XP without any issues. But the Fargo version and other localizations simply won't launch without some tweaking.

Videos don't play – the game crashes and displays an error (similar problem in Might and Magic VIII). I was able to skip the introductory videos, but I couldn't skip the video showing the departure from Emerald Island, and because of that, I can't progress further. :( :mad:

the video showing the departure from Emerald Island cannot be skipped, and because of that, I can't progress further. :( :mad:
Everything is fine now. I got past it. :D

And yet, how can we solve the problem with launching videos? (Windows 7)

Which version of the game are you using? The collector's edition from Buka generally handles compatibility issues quite well.
