Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor

Use dgVoodoo to convert the game to DX11:

  • Download and unzip dgVoodoo to any folder you choose

  • From “MS/x86” folders copy “D3D8.dll”, D3D9.dll”, “D3DImm.dll” and “Ddraw.dll” and place them to the game’s installation folder where “MM7.exe” is located

  • Launch dgVoodoo and Set Config folder/Running instance: “folder where your game’s exe file is located”

GENERAL tab:

  • Output API: Direct3D 11 (feature level 11.0)

  • Adapter(s) to use/enable: "Your graphics card"

  • Full Screen Output: \\.\DISPLAY 1

  • enable "Full Screen"

  • enable "Enumerate refresh rates"

  • Leave everything else as they are

DIRECTX tab:

  • Videocard: dgVoodoo Virtual Accelerated Card

  • VRAM: set to highest available (amount depends on dgVoodoo version)

  • Resolution: set to your monitor's highest as long as it's 119Hz

  • Filtering and Antialiasing as you prefer (I use “Force anisotropic 16x” and Antialiasing: “Off”).

  • Leave everything else as they are

  • Press “Apply” and the “OK”

  • Close dgVoodoo

In dgVoodoo settings be sure NOT to enable "Fast video memory access", it will crash the game.


Make shortcut of MM7.exe to your desktop.

Right click on MM7-shortcut and select “Properties”. Then select “Compatibility” tab and make followin selections:

- Windows 8 compatibility mode, disable full-screen optimisations and run as administrator.


In Nvidia Profile Inspector create new profile and add MM7.exe to it.

Set "StereoProfile" to "Yes"

Then set “ StereoTextureEnable” to “0x00000001 COMMON_STEREO_TEXTURE_ENABLED”


Go to game-folder and run MM7Setup.exe. In Might and Magic Configuration Utility that launches, select “Full Screen”, enable “Hardware Accelerated 3D” and from drop-down menu select “dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper”

Exit MM Configuration Utility and launch game from the desktop shortcut you made earlier.
