Hard_Bread: Hello,

When I launch the game it displays the ToE art loading screen and then the game minimizes to taskbar. When I try to open it via click it opens and minimizes again.

I can circunvent this by Alt Tabbing and pressing on the game screen when it comes up. Once its open, cinematics play as usual.

The real issue begins during the cinematics, where almost all of the lower right quarter of the screen will minimize the game when clicked on. This carrries on to the main menu where the same rectangle will minimize the game. You can tell where the area is because the games cursor changes to the windows cursor when hovering over it. Buttons located in that area are inaccesible, not even being highlited when the cursor is over them. Game is unplayable due to this since I cant even get past the main menu given that all of the buttons are on that area.

Im running the game on Windows 10, have installed the necesary older versions of DirectX and all my drivers are up to date.
Im booting the game without full screen optimzations, running the program as administrator and running in compatibility mode. These settings were the only ones that allowed the game to actually boot up to the main menu without crashing.

Issue persists on base HoMM5, Hammers of Fate and HoMM5.5.

Thanks in advance
