Has anyone managed to make Might & Magic Heroes VII work yet? I managed to install it and lauch it with latest wine version 1.7.54 (32 bit), but as soon as it gets through the cinematics and loading the main menu it crashes with "Ran out of video memory! Exiting". I have a 7870 with 2GB of RAM, surely this should be enough? This is all of the stdout:

Nope. No success here. Same last 5 lines as you on 64-bit.

Install 1.41 or 1.5 and it will run. Because new patches removed the x86 option I now play 1.5 but there is a very annoyng bug with skills/spells disappearing and I have to downgrade to 1.41. It runs very well:

I'm also trying to get this working.

I created a 32-bit virtual disk (woops, will change to 64 when I fix my fiddles in final step)

I installed HOMM7 and then tried to run it .... read the errors and used configure->install components to fix the errors. I fixed err:module:import_dll Library d3dx11_43.dll by installing d3dx11 but now i'm stuck on:

err:module:import_dll Library X3DAudio1_7.dll (i tried dsound and directmusic)

err:module:import_dll Library XAPOFX1_5.dll

Which components include there dll's??

Thank you for which version of wine to use, very helpful.

Tried xact?

many thanks petch

I have no more debug errors, now there's a critical exception:

"The procedure entrypoint InetPtonW could not be located in WS2_32.dll"

I have opened the virtual drive and confirmed the file is in /win/system32/ i tried installing wininet, that didnt work either.

That system call was implemented in 1.7.53, and from what I understand it's in a winsocks DLL that you'd better not try to override. So you need at least Wine 1.7.53

petch, ur awesome!

It still doesn't work for me. So far I've tried wine 1.8 (both 32 and 64 bit), 1.7, 1.6, 1.5 and 1.41. There are no more versions to try... I'm on Ubuntu 15.04. Is there really no way of making this game work?

Not wine version 1.41. Run game version 1.41 in x86 prefix ;)
