What the hell are we talking about here?

How do I invert Y axis for the mouse?
I can't play with mouselook unless I can do that.. thank you.

I tried windowed mode.. it brought me back to a really low resolution of my desktop, unable to see much.. and can't see the game window. Win7 64bit 28" monitor 1900x res.
When you use math, 1.1 appears older than 1.7.
Zeros can be assumed on 1.1 or 1.7, making them 1.10 or 1.70.


UPDATE: Thank you JMich.. if you put a negative value into the Y axis sensitivity, it goes inverted! Yay!

Yeah. Programmers like to make things as awkward as possible for anyone who isn't a programmer. :D

Version 1.12 in Linux Mint Cinnamon and works fine :)

Where did you get 1.12 from? I could only find 1.11.2.

Sorry, (in bold) is what I meant.

Thanks for clarifying. As I bought the game recently, I wanted to have the most up to date patch for it.

Having a bit of an issue. Before GoG existed, I downloaded a pirated version of MM6 which I played every now and then over the years.

I've now bought the GoG version and patched it, and I want to import my save files. Does anyone know how I'd go about doing that?

LoL...have it your way...;) This will be my final response on this strange subject.

I'm not talking about administering a network, I'm talking to people running their own private systems at home. RaggieRags in this very thread found that his game wouldn't run outside of admin mode--or did you forget who I was responding to, in your haste to tell him how stupid he was to actually run his game with elevated privileges as it wouldn't run without them. I guess you'd rather people not run their games at all than to run them elevated, just so you can feel better about your own bad advice? The practice has never caused me any trouble. Yet, ironically, rarely a day goes by when I don't read in some forum somewhere that someone has just discovered how to run his program or game: by simply running it as admin. I guess you miss those posts, just like you missed RaggieRags in this thread. Try and be more observant. Some people actually call publisher tech support about the issue, believe it or not.

I'm sorry but, really, nobody gives a damn who is a "shitty programmer" and who isn't...;) They just want their software/games to run. I don't blame them at all. Sorry that you find running games in elevation to be so bothersome. I've never had a problem with it--not since I started the practice after having trouble running some of my extant programs in Vista x64, several years ago. Someone gave me that excellent advice way back then and I've never had reason to regret it and I run *a lot* of stuff. Trust me--if it was "horrible advice" then I wouldn't have given it and I certainly wouldn't be taking it. It's fine with me if you are so opposed to running in elevation that you'd rather not run your games if they require it. But don't jump all over people who prefer to run their software, even if it does require elevated privileges. Sure, you don't want to give viruses and Trojans elevated privileges, but no one is talking about that. Are they? (Or maybe you are, I dunno what you're afraid of here.)

Sweet mother of god, that's a late reply...

I never said don't run Might and Magic 6 as an administrator, if that's what is required. I said that running everything elevated is a horrible advice.

You do know that it is possible to completely mess up a system by doing this, right? And not with a virus, a simple batch file.

Let me put it this way. Quite a few of the Antivirus Suites there block the GOG installers, due to the popularity filters (This file isn't downloaded often, and may be dangerous). The usual advice is to turn of the AV and run the installer. Do you consider that sane/good advice?

And just to ponder a bit more, why does a game need write access to system folders, registry, or hardware calls? Because that is the usual problem with games not running if not run as admin.

Is there any way we can use this patch but have it _not_ fix the meteor shower and starburst distance bugs? I remember when I played this game over 10 years ago, I used to run around dragonsands nuking everything, and it was a lot o fun! For nostalgic reasons I'd still like to do that, but I still want to be able to remap keyboard keys. It'd be great if there was a mm6.ini flag that toggled the fix.

Did I get this correctly - GrayFace MM6 Patch is not installed by default when using GOG version of the game?
And it is recommended to use it, am I right?

yes you are it is a user mod so its not automaticly installed by GOG

Thank you, will use it then :)

So i installed the patch, and i still get a crash every time I open the game. Any suggestions?

(force 640/480 resolution is on, run as administrator is on, patch is installed, compatibility mode set to win xp sp 3. Running windows 7 64 bit)
