I have another problem. I make game fully patched. But if I start ,the game goes to black screen and back to windows where the initial logo of Might amd Magic Heroes IV is and my system is still triyng to run the game. But then the error message appears every time that game stoped working. What i should do with this? Can you help to solve this problem? I have notebook Asus N61Jv series, Intel Core i3 M380 2.53 GHZ, 4 GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce GT 325M 1 GB and Intel HD Graphics and Windows 7 64-bit

Hi all,

So there has been a lot of this talk about laptop problems and my brother xperiences the same issue with his GeForce 420m card despite the demo running.
What I have found after exploring the subject a bit was that his laptop actually had two graphic cards on it. One was the integrated intel hd graphics and the other was the 420m.

It turns out that when the game tried to load, it defaulted to using the intel hd graphics which was not compatible. So, I went to nvidias control panel, changed the 3d setting and physx setting to enable heroes to load using the nvidia cad instead. The game has since loaded and plays without any problems.

I'm not sure if this will solve everybody's problem but maybe a few more users can enjoy the game now!

Hello, from Spain!

I have the same problem with launch with my emachines D730 - Intel Core i3-370M , Intel HD Graphics - that I bought last week.
All 2011-2012 games I have installed work fine except Might and Magic: Heroes 6, that it seems not work on laptops.
I don´t know why Ubisoft doesn't fix this, because Laptop PC sales overtake desktop PC sales since 2008.

Thanks and sorry for my English (it's not very good looking, hahaha)

It is very strange.
It started with the new patch and I thought that it was just something with the old savegames. I can restart the campain map well enough.
But today when I tried to load a saved game (autosave) saved after the patch was installed then it crashed again.

Anybody experience the same thing? Can it be fixed?

Have the same card in my desktop and what I am understanding is the new DLC will not work with Intel card. This is frustrating because lots of computers are going to the Intel cards because they are cheaper but still can handle all the new media. I'm not sure as to why the program used to work but won't now but I assume it has to do with trying to upgrade the graphics.
