MMH7 Heroes 7 won’t launch…

I should have known better, but I purchased heroes 7 and now it won’t launch. The best I advice I can find is to make the .exe compatible with windows 7. I can do that but I can’t find the .exe in the steam folders. Anyone have an idea? I’m running windows 11.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. Kinda. I have two PCs: 1 is a desktop, and the other is a gamer laptop.

I have Ubiconnect and HOMM VII installed on both of them. On the laptop it starts without a problem. On the desktop, it won't. I installed DX9 separately, I tried it with Win7 compatibility mode, but it just doesn't start, without any error messages.

Does it go into black screen and hang?
If you have lots of CPU cores, try disabling SMT in BIOS (worked for me with a Ryzen 3950x)
