The issue seems to affect customers who have purchased Shades of Darkness via Steam, but some that got the game directly from uPlay or third-party retailers have experienced similar issues.įirst of all, Ubisoft thought it would be wise to release a huge patch for the original Might & Magic Heroes VI game at the same time with Shades of Darkness.Īt first glance, this shouldn’t have mattered as Shades of Darkness has been advertised as a “standalone expansion,” so it shouldn’t require players to purchase the original Might & Magic Heroes VI game.Īnyway, Ubisoft has confirmed that it won’t be able to offer an autopatch method for this particular update due to its size. Moreover, lots of players report that their game now doesn’t have music or dialog sound. Unfortunately, those who have purchased the so-called standalone expansion Shades of Darkness have been unable to play the game until earlier today.
Ubisoft launched Shades of Darkness, the next installment in the Heroes of Might & Magic franchise, yesterday, along with Might & Magic Heroes VI: Complete Edition collection.
