* 'Experience' no longer has a cap of 6 million.
* A rare problem with switching between turn-based and real-time combat modes has been resolved.
* A rare problem with corrupted data during map transitions has been resolved.
* It is no longer necessary to run the Cyrix helper programs (686_p.exe or cpuiden.exe)for Might and Magic VI to run on Cyrix systems.
* A number of issues impacting the players ability to complete quests depending on how they progress through the game were resolved.
* NPC functionality has been improved (the Seer will return the Ritual of the Void scroll, etc.)
* Description text has been updated to clarify functionality of certain skills and spells.
* Problems with certain spells, skills and items have been addressed.
* Problems with skills boosted over 60 by items have been fixed, as well as a crash bug with characters with high stats.
* Some CD-ROMs were not reading the Disk 2 (Play) CD. This has been fixed.
* Some issues regarding corrupted save files, that were causing the game to crash when the party moved between maps, have been addressed. Current saved games are fully compatible with the updated executable.
