Hello everyone, I recently bought Might and Magic 9 from GOG and faced the same issue of not being able to play. After numerous failed attempts, I finally did something that miraculously solved the problem.

I am using a laptop with Windows 11, and I have an external monitor connected as extended desktop. What I did was simply "set the external monitor as the primary display." Doing this made the game open on the external monitor, and suddenly it started working. No need for compatibility modes or any other changes in settings. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this solution; perhaps those who have tried other methods without success can give it a try.

meehanrj: Hey everyone,

Nothing below was working for me but was inspired to push through to a solution since i have so many issues with GOG games since upgrading to Windows 11.
From System Settings > Select Display > Select Graphics
when in graphics look under "Custom Options for Apps" and select browse.
Browse to the folder that contains "lilthtech.exe"

I cannot speak to anyone elses graphic cards but by taking control away from windows and selecting my high performance graphics card, magically everything started working.

Most likely if you set lithtech.exe to run on your "high performance" card i think you will find another new solution for those who this isn't working for.

I think Win 11 really pushes "power saving modes" and makes a lot new software decisions based on energy consumption rather than verifying applications are running.

Basic specs for my machine :
Acer NItro Laptop
Win 11 x64
NVIDIA GTX 1650 - my high performane card...
Hope i helped someone
This is what worked for me on Windows 10. All the other fixes in this thread did nothing, but as soon as I did this I was able to launch MM9. Thank you kind stranger!
