Following the release of our first support patch last Wednesday, we are pleased to announce a small hotfix for MMH7. This new update will be titled 1.2.1 on the menu screen, so ensure you have the latest update by checking this. The hotfix is focused on performance issues and related to a save corruption.
It had been reported that after several hours of gameplay, after saving and loading multiple times, players would experience extensive load times and several RAM consumption problems. This issue was due to an exponential data increment in the save files from the Magic Guild building.
The team is currently working on a 1.3 patch for the upcoming weeks and we will keep you updated on progress as soon as possible.
Best,
The M&M Team.
-------------------------------- Might & Magic Heroes VII - Update 1.2.1
Date: October 20th, 2015
Version: 1.2.1 (rev Rev 32623)
[Fixed] A memory issue related to the Mages Guild in regards to saving and loading multiple times.
--------------------------------
In the meantime, we highly recommend you – especially Windows 10 users – to ensure your video card drivers are up to date. It has been reported by several users that performance improvements were experienced after update of those ones.
Today we are pleased to announce you the immediate availability of the patch 1.2 (rev 32489) for Might & Magic Heroes VII.
Downloading this new update should be automatic on both Uplay and Steam.
We highly recommend you to make sure that your Uplay launcher is set to online mode in order to download this patch. To ensure that your game is up-to-date, you can check the revision number displayed on the title main screen.

Some thoughts from the development team
While we’ve put all our passion and efforts working on this game, some critical issues escaped our attention, and we would like today to thank you for your intense feedback. Receiving your input greatly helped us to prepare this first patch and we encourage you to keep on sharing your detailed impressions on the game. This patch has been finalized this morning and the top priority for us was to release it as soon as it was approved.
Next steps
This patch is the first one in our list. Be sure that we will continue to provide new fixes in the upcoming weeks to make sure that the game meets your expectations in terms of quality. We still have many things to improve over the next patch. Multiplayer and balancing will be among them.
Moreover, free content updates will also be available, with the first campaign of the “Lost Tales of Axeoth” to be released at the end of 2015, and the second one early next year. We will also provide support for the map editor through dedicated tutorials and the best community creations will be highlighted. 32 bit OS compatibility and memory optimization also are on our task list and we will continue to improve performances.

The M&M Team
Situation Status: 02/10 – 7:45PM CEST
Hello Heroes,
First of all we would like to thank you all for your patience and support in those last days. We have been carefully reading your feedback/bugs report and many of you shared a great interest in the game despite remaining issues (some already played more than 35 hours!!!).
Upcoming Patch (more information to come)
The team is currently working a first patch and we will keep you updated on our progress on this matter in the upcoming week. Our objective is to tackle on this update emergency topics such as:
Cheat Window
Before the weekend, we would like also to share with you the activation process of the Cheat window which we hope could help you before the release of this patch.
Important information:
Using cheats is at your own risks. It may alter your save games in major way. So we really want to stress that you have to be careful when using it. The cheat window may have different impacts in your game session since you will not be following the real flow of the maps. For instance teleport feature might not trigger all scripts in the maps required to complete the quests. Use it wisely or you may end up with broken saves. Once again, use this tool cautiously only if you feel you REALLY need it.
How to activate Cheat Window:
Next time you will launch a game, a little “star” will be available above your command panel, this is the cheat window shortcut.
/!\ Cheat window is unavailable on Multiplayer Lan & Internet games
The cheat window is presented as the following:
With this window you can:
We hope this windows will help some of you to unlock their progression in the campaign maps. Please stay tuned for more update regarding upcoming patch.
Best,
The M&M Team.
