Also for black screens with fights, it sometimes works as well. Sometimes this kicks it into gear, and will allow you to continue. Wait for awhile and then press enter or Spacebar. "A 'sometimes' work around for the Black Screen. The NVidia control panel fix I'm referring to is the one where you create a new profile/setting for Heroes VI specifically." I've played for some hours now after and no blackness yet.

One of the suggestions on the official forum was to adjust some settings in the NVidia control panel, which I did, and it seemed to remedy the issue. "Just a quick update on my experience with the black screen (with audio) when entering a battle. But after that 1st mission, there will be a lot fewer crashes" It has something to do with heaven creatures fights. And also note that this won't fix the problem overall, but it will reduce battle crashes (black screen) by 70%.Īlso note that the first mission of the dark elf campaign is the clusterf**k of the battle crashes.

Of course this is only for Nvidia graphic cards. Then Under CUDA - GPUs select Use these GPUs and select your graphic card. Then go to Manage 3D settings, then in Program Settings find Might and Magic: Heroes VI (if you can't find it, then add it). "Right click on the desktop select NVidia Control Center. You probably found these already but oh well You should explain what fixes you tried so we dont tell you to do them again :p Failing that is there anything that can be done for me? Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter. I would prefer to have the problem resolved as I would love to play the new characters.

I did not see that warning when I originally purchased the addon. Apparently there is a warning now that the addon will not work on laptops. I am a Systems Analyst so I do know my way around computers and have to say I have never seen a glitch like this. I have been a big fan of the Heroes games since the original Heroes 1 and have never had this problem with any of them. Once I go back up the stairs nothing I do will work unfortunately. The bizarre thing is that if I go back down the stairs, change the video resolution to my native resolution of 1920X1080 the screen will go back to normal. The original campaigns all work fine, and the beginning of the Shades campaign work fine. I have tried all of the fixes noted in different forums to no avail. I have an MSI laptop with the Intel i7-3610QM CPU with an Nvidia GTX-670M with 3 GB of GDDR5 memory. I then did a search on the internet only to find out this is an ongoing issue with the addon. I tried to adjust the video settings but nothing fixed the problem. I started the campaign, traveled up the stairs in the first act and suddenly the screen went black. Unfortunately I had a work related injury right afterward and after having both knees replaced I was finally ready to play the addon. I purchased the Shades of Darkness addon in December of 2013.
