Unofficial GrayFace Patch (works with the Steam version)

[RonjaLin]

EDIT: Thanks to [UM] Lichtbringer for confirming it works with the Steam version.

Download the patch here and install for several improvements and bug fixes.

When using the exe inside the archive, leave the LOD checked (unless you use a mod, then it must be unchecked) and give the game folder as extraction folder. You can start it then from the Steam library's Might & Magic VI link.

Nastily it seems to deactivate the ingame music, though. This is supposedly fixed by setting PlayMP3 in the mm6.ini file from 0 to 1 but I still don't have any music then.

It is recommended to verify the game cache before doing this. If you do it afterwards, it probably will uninstall the patch.

EDIT: This also fixes the "Insert CD 2" issue some people have.

I did and can confirm it works. But i have found no way so far to run it in window mode on Windows 8 just fullscreen works

To get the music to work with GrayFace patch:

Create a folder named "Music" in the MM6 game folder.
Copy the contents from "Sounds" to "Music".
Add PlayMP3=1 under [Settings] in the mm6.ini

Now music will play normaly in your game again.

Great patch. Will allow you to change controls, get mouselook into the game, fixes bugs and so on. I recommend people to look into it!

When running the patch exe, where do I tell the patch to install to? Thanks

[RonjaLin]

You install to the Might & Magic VI folder, for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Might and Magic 6\

EDIT: Link corrected, sorry!

For those of you who might be annoyed by the cursor icon that shows up while using the camera, just go into the MM6 directory and check the Data folder for the file MouseLookCursor.bmp.

If you edit the file and replace it with nothing but white color the mouse icon will be gone during play, of course that also means you will need to aim on your own. I just replaced the mouse icon with a small dot instead, less noticable.

When you switch from real time to turn based combat and back the music stops. ANy fix for this?

[Athucia]

other issue with Unofficial GrayFace Patch (works with the Steam version)

goblin watch tower , because of free mouse you miss click on keypad ( use capslock to get mouse to hit right number ) use capslock again to get back to 3D view

I'm a bit late to the party, but I need your opinion.

Windows Defender found a trojan (Win32/Spursint.A!cl) in GrayFace's unofficial patch (link provided in the original message).

Is this a false positive ? I ran an online scan and found nothing. Could Windows Defender be misinterpreting the way the patch hooks into the game as a malicious program ?

Thanks in advance. :)

Thanks Protoss, worked for me, takes me back many years to playing this first time round!

[Showtime, Synergy!]

Been playing this classic this past week and infinitely grateful for this wonderful, modernizing patch. Thank you GrayFace.
