The Heroes Round Table

Another update: I got the game to run again, took a couple tries. I played a couple hour session, and had to stop for supper and an RL chore or two. Came back to it, and tried some 20+ times and just kept getting white box or nothing at all. Said "screw it" and played a little Destiny 2, w...

So... I completely uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, downloading it fresh from GOG and then downloading the latest Greyface patch and it runs. .... about 2-3 times, absolutely fine. I did 2-3 hour play sessions. Then it does the white box thing again after the 3rd time. I tried to launch it again,...

Already did all that. It's installed in C:\GOG Games\ and I tried compat mode (Windows wants to give it XP SP3 by default), and I do have it set to HW mode, and those settings are indeed set. Interestingly, it will run in SW mode, but of course that forces fullscreen and that will cause the old UI t...

Then again...

I played for awhile after booting and closing the game like 20 times to make sure the problem went away and now, after eating supper I tried to boot it again and it will not boot at all.

I think I fixed it.

After a bunch of googling, I came across a website that instructed me to turn off Discord overlay (I never even use the stupid thing anyway).

It will now boot 80% of the time and only occasionally crashing which is way better than it was before!

It is set to Hardware Mode (odd, the first time I tried running the setup.exe, the program did nothing and didn't even appear, had to try it twice). https://pastebin.com/nH2R5yxG Wow, lots of errors. As for the compatibility mode, I tried Windows 7 and Windows 10, two OS's I've known to run MM7 on b...

Why would it be overpowered? If you equipped all +10 resist items then you deserve easier time. Also magic resistance only affects a handful of effects: "Paralyze, Stone, Dead, Eradicated, DrainSP, Age: MagicResistance" and there's no prot from magic in mm6. You can bump the res with day ...

+resistances never gives +Magic Resistance. At least, in the original MM6. They probably kept it that way? /shrug I assume the reason that is, is because it would be absolutely overpowered as most magic status effects like Curse, Sleep, etc would almost never land on you once you got up into the 50s...

So, I updated my PC back in January, and I last played MM7 back in October on my previous PC. My previous PC had Win10 on it, as it was 5+ years old. My new PC has Win11 on it. MM6 and MM8 will boot, but MM7 has serious problems that I can't figure out why. The first time I tried booting it up, desp...

If you want to turn mouselook off and go back to original, there's a setting in the .ini file for that:

\mm8.ini

Line 21: MouseLook=1

change that to

Line 21: MouseLook=0

Yeah, that's a bug I noticed in the Merge Mod -- when you try to rest, you really need to touch absolutely nothing. Don't touch the keyboard, don't touch the mouse, until you get to the desired time. What's happening is the game pauses during the rest to calculate things, I assume and if you click a...

The "Wait Until Dawn" option should wait until 6:00 AM, not 5:00 AM. Most shops open at 6:00 AM. There should be a "Wait Until Dusk" option as well, that'd wait until 6:00 PM. Certain shops (The Pit, Deyja, Nighon) only open at 6:00 PM. Shadowspire should be added to that Dusk l...

To the bottom right corner is a little icon of a head. If you press that all the hirelings and followers will show up. Including your golem. Lately its been bothering me more and more that you cannot fly without looking down anymore, since even with mouselook disabled you will slowly descend and ev...

I tried M&M 7 and found that i could hire tons of hirelings. At original the limit was 2 person to hire. Is it bug or enhancements? If all hirelings works the game balance ruins badly. That might have been done because MM7 was unique in that it allowed you to have more than your 2 hirelings but...

I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be 2d3+4 because that's what most other daggers are, not counting Long Daggers.

EDIT: Nope, I was wrong. They are 2d2+3 in the original MM8.

Are Merchantman Daggers supposed to be 2d1+4? That doesn't sound right...

One more thing I'd like to ask about... The little message bar that displays various messages... like damage, or mousing over things, like barrels, etc appears at the top of the screen. In the original versions of these games, this was always at the _bottom_ of the screen just above the character p...

To be honest........ Some people might use that for good. Some people might not like that bolster thing, and decide that hey, let's say you start MM8 first to get those cool classes, but you finish Jadame and you're some Level 90. You don't want to hop on over to New Sorp with a full party of Level ...

Did you installed GrayFace's patch previously? Check your 'Data' directory for following files: '00 patch.games.lod', '00 patch.icons.lod', '00 patch.T.lod'. If any of them present, remove. *facepalm* Gah. I thought for sure the first time I Tried to install this, I did this out of a fresh GOG down...
