The Patchs
The Might and Magic VI Patchs
These are the patches available for the game:
-
3DO patch for the US version of the game only. You can find the upgrades
to version 1.2 Links to mm610-12.exe (1.48 Mb) and mm611-12.exe (490 Kb).
-
Official Patch for the French version.
There is only a patch to version 1.1. File size: 358 Kb.
-
Small patch that must be used for Cyrix processors. This is only useful for version
1.0. File size: 3 Kb.
The otherwise very useful patch 1.2 (which is an integral part of the
Millennium Edition of MM6) unfortunately causes
two bugs (while fixing a whole bunch of more serious ones). One dungeon
the Shadow Guild in the Frozen Highlands won't let you through its
doors and a certain door in Castle Kriegspire likewise won't open.
But if you are looking for a workaround, try checking out DaveO's Angelfire page where you'll find a copy of the MM6.exe
file from the 1.1 version, look for the heading "Great support news for
Millennium Edition users!".
For Castle Kriegspire: Save your current game right where your
party is facing the locked door. Quit the game, replace your
MM6.exe file with the one you'll find on those sites (remember
to take a back-up copy of your own MM6.exe file first!).
Start the game, load your save game, open the door, and walk to the other
side of the now opened door. Save again, quit the game, now copy your own
MM6.exe file back into the folder deleting the 1.1 file (you
might want to confirm that you now have the 1.2 version back by right-clicking
on the your MM6 icon and see, that it says version
1.2). Now load your new savegame and you'll find yourself on the right side
of the door which now is opened.
For the Shadow Guild in the Frozen Highlands: Essentially the same,
except you need to make your initial save outside the dungeon, finish the
whole dungeon using the 1.1 MM6.exe, and make your last save
outside the dungeon again.
You'll definitely want to return to the 1.2 version as it fixes some major
bugs with the 1.1 version, it is very unfortunate that it also locks these
doors.
Good Luck, if you want an alternative URL for the MM6.exe
file (version 1.1), you may also wish to try here. File size: 403 Kb.
The Might and Magic VII Patchs
There is only one patch for this game.
-
Patch version 1.1 for the English version only. You can get it here. File size: 1'432Kb.
-
Patch found on a French Web site for the French
version of the game. The odd point is that the file is exact the same size. I didn't test out if
it really Patch the French game. File size: 1'432Kb.
There will probably no another patch, even if it is necessary.
The major bugs for the Dark Side are not fixed with this one.
The Might and Magic VIII Patchs
Up to now 3DO does no plan to make and will never make a patch for
this game. The number of bugs is from far not as high as in the previous version of
Might and Magic, also the bugs that are present do not
affect the game play dramatically. For this reason I suspect there will never be patch
for Might and Magic VIII.

The Savegames
The Might and Magic VIII Savegames
I am not accustomed to put my savegames on my pages, but in this case if I have an
excellent reason. Indeed in Might and Magic VIII it is not
possible of creates a character of the Dragon class as well as to start your own
preferred team from scratch.
Many people have the secret hope, one day, of being able to do it. Well, here I put
at your disposal two very beautiful savegames with as basic character (you) a
Dragon and savegames with all the remaining characters at Level 1
as you started them yourself!
Dragons
| |
The first savegame is a Red Dragon. He is called
Morcarack in homage to the Emerald Isle's Red
Dragon in Might and Magic VII. File size: 217Kb.
|
| |
The second savegame is a Green Dragon. His name is
Wromthrax in homage to the Tatalia's Blue
Dragon in Might and Magic VII. File size: 218Kb.
|
The two Dragons start with the same characteristics and skills. Only their
portraits changes just as their voices do.
All Level 1
Due to the excellent idea of Klaravoyia (Community member) we offer
you now a complete set of savegames with all characters starting out as
Level 1.
Here you will find a starting game with each class available in the game (including the
Dragon) as the lead character. All the remaining characters (35 known NPC)
are waiting for you in the Adventure's Inn and they too are at level 1!
As bonus you will find 14 brand new NPC in the Adventure's
Inn, bringing the total of hirelings to 49! Yes, for each
class up to 6 characters are for hire.

The constraints put on you is that:
-
Characters has no equipment (you need to buy it).
-
All the magical classes have the 2 first spells of the magic they know learned.
-
The attributes setting are set according to the class best settings (see MM8 FAQ for the class setup).
-
All the characters of the same class have the same setting except for the
necromancers that have different combination of magic.
In the future, I can adjust this parameters on request. But for now you have to
stick with my point of view.
Peasant Power
If you think you can do it, here an event more extreme for of playing the game.
A whole set of peasants that will help you to save the world. All the characters
start at level 0 (Peasants), they didn't even become a hero (Level 1).
Like for the previous section all the 49 NPC of the
Adventure's Inn starts at level 0.
Pick up the class you want to start with:
| |
Clawgrabber is a Hatchling that waits to learn to fly around in Jadame. File size: 205Kb.

|
| |

|
The constraints put on you is that:
-
Characters has no equipment (you need to buy it).
-
They know no skills.
-
The attributes setting are set according to the base class. See manual for
base definitions.
-
You start without gold and food.
Good luck with them and bring them to maturity :).
Installation
When you have downloaded one or several of the savegames files you are requested to install
them. First unzip the files in a temp directory, then copy the
save0xx.dod files into the "my MM8 game
dir"\Saves. Start the game and load the game of your choice.
If you have a like name in your saves folder it will be overwritten, so save or
backup your files before installation.
Warnings
Overdune Snapfinger can be hired in the Adventure's Inn. If you take him
in your team take care to do the witness quest and not directly claim the reward.
If you use him you can in fact skip the witness quest when speaking to Bastian
Loudrin.
All the NPC can be hired from the start. Even if you find them in there homes and
they don't want to follow you. It's not a big problem, juste ignore them. Also if
you hire them from their home they will join your team or "return" to the Adventure's
Inn and disappear from their home. It's a small glitch in this type of games, but
it doesn't seem to influence on the game.
Disclaimer
The savegames has been tested and don't seem to make any problem with the game.
But I am not responsible for any damage due to the downloading, or use of any of
these files. To the best of my knowledge, these files are all virus free at the
time of upload. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Enjoy them! Good play...
