Dark Screen Error

I couldn't resist getting H6 after Sandro made his apparition in the newest DLC,because he's my favorite hero from whole heroes series(and they had stolen my idea in the DLC ). Everything is fine at begin,cinematic works great,I start the campaign and the map looks normal,but when I start a battle the screen gets very dark,I can see only some shadows and the interface bars,it adds a gloomy atmosphere but it's very annoying and it makes the game (almost) impossible to play.Could someone help me?I don't think it's my computer,I bought it one month ago and has a 2GB graphic card so I believe it's something wrong with the game as other games work fine.Here are some screenshots:

I see they released the so long waited 300% difficulty selection. You see nothing on screen.

I know this is the corny standard response, but it has to be said.
Have you checked your driver for your graphics card?

Yes, new campaigns added through DLCs came with this bug - NVIDIA ones if I'm not mistaken.

It sucks, as Ubisoft knows it very well and haven't release a proper fix

Here is a fix:
I'm using modern system, 12th gen i5 12400F and AMD RX 6600

Dark screens are gone when you add these dll's to main game folder (where your exe is located)
-> https://fdossena.com/index.php?p=wined3d/index.frag

I tried dgVoodoo as well but it did not work, wined3d is Heroes VI savior!

All of the expansions work without issues (no dark screen issues anymore)...

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases

OH MY GOD.. Braz's wined3d fix didn't work for me and someone on steam said the same thing but that DXVK worked for them instead, so I gave DXVK a shot and it actually WORKED for me too. None of the solutions ever posted in all the H6 darkness bug threads have ever worked for me with my old built-in Intel HD 4600 graphics chip and quite frankly I didn't really expect them to as it's a lousy GPU and I've had years of people telling me it's my fault not ubisoft's, that the main game works perfectly fine but the expansion & DLC content doesn't as the addons used some new extra wizbang fancy graphical stuff that's not possible etc pfft..

So I went to test this one thinking yeah yeah here we go again.. but noticed that DXVK supports Intel GPUs as well as AMDs and thought "maaaybee this will be the one" and sure enough... after extracting the DXVK files into my Heroes 6 install folder I loaded the Shadows of Darkness campaign which has always been unplayable due to the darkness bug and it WORKS!.. a friggin decade later on my useless ancient PC with a cr*ppy built-in Intel graphics chip and Heroes 6 addon content is now looking/working perfectly fine with no darkness issue.. AMAZING!

Just typical that the game is finally fixed for me right before the servers go offline haha.. hell I can't even connect to the servers now it would seem (keep getting errors) but oh well... I'm so happy this bloody stupid idiotic lazy ass unfinished game issue is finally solved by clever fans proving that it was just a silly bug that never got fixed and not a limitation of Intel and AMD chips.

I should also say I had to spend 2 hours overcoming a whole other issue with the Ubisoft Connect launcher no longer working due to me still using Win7 (yeah yeah I know, I'll update eventually lol) but thankfully found a fix for that too.
