Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Might & Magic: Heroes VI
  • Steam AppID of the game: 48220

System Information

I confirm:

  • [x ] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [ x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

The game freezes on the start page. It was working before with wine 4.x

Reproduction

Install windows version Might & Magic: Heroes VI and start it with Proton 5.
It will freeze.

This helps on Win 10:
I recently reinstalled HoMM 6 and was having the same problem. This fix worked for me: browse to the program folder, right-click "Might & Magic Heroes VI.exe" and select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab and check "Disable fullscreen optimizations." Click OK.

Open ProfileData with some text editor:

find "<SkipOpening>false</SkipOpening>" and change it to true.

Hello @xcom169, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the freeze, and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box.

Sorry, but it's still not 100%.

Can I set this " Disable fullscreen optimizations." for the .exe in Proton too?

I think it's already patched in Proton 5.0.5.
I can play it again.
