Symptoms

The game freezes on the start page. It was working before with wine 4.x

Reproduction

Install windows version Might & Magic: Heroes VI and start it with Proton 5. It will freeze.

This helps on Win 10: I recently reinstalled HoMM 6 and was having the same problem. This fix worked for me: browse to the program folder, right-click "Might & Magic Heroes VI.exe" and select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab and check "Disable fullscreen optimizations." Click OK.

Hello @xcom169, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the freeze, and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box.

Sorry, but it's still not 100%.

Can I set this " Disable fullscreen optimizations." for the .exe in Proton too?

I think it's already patched in Proton 5.0.5. I can play it again.
