1. Unfortunately it is not possible to use Uplay in any way with Linux. So logging in first time is as impossible as any other time.

2. Windows is no option. Besides other reasons i have already spent too much money for H6 (bought 2 different versions). I won't spend any single more dime for yet another software. So for me the consequences will be: Ditch h6.

Until now i hoped that some day there will be a solution. Even if that solution would not be perfect, i would accept it. But not beeing able to play at all is not acceptable.

darkening screen

I have a problem that seems to be commonly experienced, but I can't for the life of me find the solution anywhere online.

In certain maps, at certain times, my screen will go to this darkened version where only glowing things are visible. The game is still playable (but for the fact that you can't see anything) and the music is on still, but everything's dark. It's almost like the game went into night vision mode, because that's kind of how it looks.

This isn't the "dark screen before a battle" problem. It happens randomly and only on certain maps. I can quit out of it, but when I go back in, other maps are also darkened.

Anyone know the fix?

Not 100% sure that it's a solution, but have you tried updating your graphics' drivers?

I have similar problem with H6. It appeared with latest patch, and just stayed. I contacted Ubi, and they just told me to update drivers. I did that, and it still was dark. In the end I just gave up, and removed H6 from my computer.

Funny thing is that this bug never appeared on Linux (from where I ran H6 with wine emulator...)

I have restarted playing Heroes 6, assuming the bugs would have been fixed already. It seems the truth is far from that.

But the Necromancy II bug. Has anyone found any solution to that? Necromancy II just doesn't work, it's always greyed out.

(Hello, I'm new to this forum)

I'm glad there is a topic about bugs involving patch 2.1. Currently I have MMH6 Gold Edition installed on my pc, patched to 2.1.1. But since 2.1 is also quite recent, and there is not yet a topic about 2.1.1 (for as far as I know), I guess it's a good idea to put my bug reports here.

The first bug I encountered involves the Dynasty Title selection tab in my in-game profile. I have gathered quite a lot of titles through achievements and the Altar of Wishes, but I can only select a very limited few. The tab opens upward instead of downward, and there is no scrolling option. So basically I am left with the tip of the iceberg, I would really like to be able to select every title, not just a few (whether or not this bug is specific to 2.1.1 I don't know for sure).

Before I unlocked the SoD expansion, I could already see the SoD-achievements in the achievement list, but they were greyed out because I had not yet access to this content. However, the game did keep track of my progress regarding these achievements, so I kind of unofficially got the Slayer of Dark Elves-achievement, but not the bonus Tokens and Title. Upon unlocking SoD, the bonus was not added to my existing dynasty seals. That means I have missed several seals I could have used for new items in the Altar of Wishes.

A third bug involves the awarding of an achievement I probably should have never received. The 'Sweeping Up'-achievement is gained when you win a game in 2 weeks. I assume that is 2 in-game weeks, but I finished the first map I played after unlocking SoD in over six months. I still got the achievement, though.

I was wondering if more people ran into these issues.

In nearly every game I play, whenever I load one of the games, something like this appears in most cases - bottom left corner of the map is suddenly revealed for no reason.

How do I get rid of that? It's unpleasant to play like this...

I also have Shades of Darkness, retail version, and redeemed the code in-game. I can't access one of the four scenarios, for some strange reason.

"A Princess of VARN", "A Tale of two Guardians" and "The Succession Wars" are unlocked, but Heart of Nightmares is not. How do I unlock this? If I follow the 'purchase' link to the website, I have to buy Danse Macabre....but I already have it, because it is part of the Gold Edition.

Any help?

Guys, really - how does one fix this one. I'd maybe be able to actually enjoy Heroes VI, but not when this happens every game...

Technical support has been pretty much useless in that regard. I tried reinstalling the game, too.

Update on the Heroes VI gaming front.

That is a very well known fact for the past 4 years now.

Funny thing though, people still find the way to enjoy the Complete Edition of this game even on today's date.

Strange...How come nobody has complained about any bugs ever since the Complete Edition has been released in 2013(6 years ago).

Now, all 7 titles can be played on Windows 10 Home/Pro Editions. Thanks to the good ole' Gog.com people, all the series can be played on any decent multi-core PC.

Hi, bumping in, years after the party. I took up the game again some time ago, and I stumbled upon some topics online about how the game is full of uncorrected bugs. I am pretty curious about how much of it is true, specifically one bug I saw mentioned several times :
Quote:
"- unequip any staff with a magic school affinity before you either save your game, or end your turn. otherwise, when you reload/start a new turn, it will PERMANENTLY SUBTRACT 5 points from your effective magic power for every day you leave it equipped. This is hidden; you won't see it in your stats sheet when you look at your magic power, but you WILL see it in how much damage your magic troops do, and how much damage your spells do (also affects summoning!). ruined two characters like that, and had to restart an entire campaign to fix it


Does someone know if it still persists ? Because it seems pretty gamebreaking and I'm afraid of using any affinity staffs because of the risk of wrecking my characters :/

Hi Krisys!

Yes it's present in the game.

I can confirm almost all the bugs that are posted here (have happened to me): https://steamcommunity.com/app/48220/discussions/0/630800445692471276/

Addon content dark screen issue

I've really gotta get a proper graphics card as I still get this stupid issue with my old Intel HD 6000 onboard graphics. As a result I've never played any of the addon content all these years as the moment I touch them it's super dark screens galore. :/

It's hard to find fan theories/fixes for the darkened screen issue as it often gets confused/mixed up with all the total black screen complaints others post. However the fixes I've seen are:
1. Turn V-Sync off and on again as that resets the graphics, however that never worked for me, stayed super dark.
2. Go into your dedicated graphics cards settings and tell it NOT to share duties with your onboard Intel graphics however that doesn't help people like me who ONLY have onboard Intel graphics lol.

Since the usual "update your drivers" and "activate compatibility mode" suggestions have no effect on this one the official Ubisoft response is of course the default "you don't meet the minimum requirements" so tough friggin luck one:
https://support.ubisoft.com/en-gb/Faqs/000030870/Black-screen-while-running-the-expansion-content-MMH6

But honestly that seems like nothing more than an excuse/cop out for not fixing what is probably just some silly little problem as the rest of the game runs perfectly fine on Intel graphics chips so implying that certain addon pack missions have different system requirements to the rest of the game because they're somehow magically way more advanced despite being in the same engine is just a joke. When you think of the insane numbers of people using laptops with Intel graphics even in the early 2010s when this came out it's amazing they just 'locked them all out' of the addon content lol. I'm sure it wasn't deliberate, it was probably just an accident that didn't get fixed due to Ubi pulling the plug on funding. What I wouldn't give for a fan patch/mod that tinkered with this and all the other issues.
