various personal tweaks.
Text can be small but not horrible.
Thr game actually works on the Deck, but you must drop the shadow and texture settings down to low, maybe medium. I strongly suspect that the other reports are keeping settings high and running out of memory from the combined AMD pool of video and ram. drop the quality and it'll likely work as I ran into the exact same crashes before lowering settings.
Menu unresponsive. Can be circumvented by simulating a windows alt tab by starting a simultaneus game (the deck allows this) & then closing.
This workaround is messy but many text elements are missing from UI even after this. Game technically runs but notusable.
Missing text
Besides changing Proton to 4.11-13 to resolve main menu issue, delete SDNXLFonts.dll from main folder to get game text to appear again.
Use Winetricks to install uPlay then run and allow to update to Connect. HoMM7 should run. Might need to restart uPlay once or twice, same with game.
multiple changes to taste including adding zoom, rotate.
Be patient loading Connect. Login will clear on its own but launching game takes a long time.
Tech tree screen unresponsive to any control inputs regardless of key assignment changes.
Proton experimental appears to have resolved the tech tree response issue. If you force experimental the game should play normally now.
Use Proton 7.06 due to instability loading save games.
