I just bought the HoMM 2 Gold Edition from GOG. I noticed that the Soundtracks in Townscreens are different from the ones I used to know back in the old days. So after some research I found out, that the GOG Version uses the Soundtrack from the Expansion Pack.

I know there are already some older threads concerning that Problem, but nothing could help me yet. So does any Body have an Idea what I can do now? I´ve heard about switching the soundfiles from the games folder with the soundfiles from the Soundtrack but somehow it is not working. I also found an older thread from the year 2012, were someone put a link to download the ripped and "ready to use" soundfiles but the files have been removed.

I find the original Townthemes from Succesion Wars are the best Themes in gaminghistory so I hope anyone will help me to fix that Problem.

By the way I am using the dosbox Version of the game but I would also Change to the Windows Version if necessary.

Thanks so far

Thank you for your help. I did everything as you told me. When I start the game after changing the files, than the townscreens just remain completely silent. I don´t know why it is not working. I don´t think I made a mistake.

I'm having the same problem, I followed the instructions explicitly and now there is simply no town music when running the game Sorry Thiev but I don't think those instructions worked for me. I followed them correctly, even reinstalled and tried it a second time.

Thank you! Great work, friend :)

GOG support is about 100000x times better than steam support!
