I'm getting stuttering on the coach/ship and while playing ArcoMage. I'm running Win10. I wanted to try disabling compatibility for Win95, but the system won't let me do it. (The option to disable is grayed out). Anyone know what to do?

I've got the same issues on Windows 7. I'm afraid the only solution I know to offer is "ignore it".

Thought I'd post this...

I solved the issue for myself, at least. I launched the game by clicking on MM7-Rel.exe. Don't know who it might help, but I'm glad to be rid of the stuttering.

I'll have to try that. Where did you find that exe?

I found it in the Might & Magic 7 folder under GOGGames, the default folder where I put all my GOG downloads.

the music keeps playing the same song over and over again no matter what town I go into. It never did that before. any solutions that amyone has run into?

This is actually caused by the default compatibility setting on the .exe file. I believe it is set to windows 98 compatibility mode. That in itself isn't the problem, the problem is that it forces the game to run on a single CPU core. You can run the game and allow other cores in the task manager, but a simpler solution is simply to remove any compatibility modes (unless that makes the game not run at all, but it works for me on windows 10).

Don't ask me why a game this old cannot run on single core without slowdowns, it's probably something to do with how windows allocates resources, but anyway, if you don't restrict the game, it'll run fine.
