Might and Magic 7
I'm trying to play Might and Magic 7 through Heroic Games on a new Pop_OS! installation on my desktop PC.
The game runs fine, I also managed to install the grayface patch.
What isn't working: A few inputs arent working, specifically: enter combat, quick cast, attack, jump and yell. This problem is common and known, but I couldn't find a fix that sounded solid and generally working. It's not an issue of the key inputs, because remapping other functions to those keys, they work.
I found some reddit and gog forum posts refer to using older proton/wine versions or lutris (possibly with older versions as well). But to be honest, none of them contained any explicit answers to which versions work or dont work.
See e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/MightAndMagic/comments/1kxa53d/mm6_some_keys_do_not_work_despite_remapping_them/
My issue now is: I don't see how I could run an older Proton or Wine version in Heroic, beyond the ones listed in the Wine-Manager list. Those reach back to GE-Proton8.14 or Wine-GE-Proton7-27. Both of these still exhibit the same issue.
The linked reddit post mentions Proton versions between 3.x and 7.x - how could I get this to run?

At least I found a way to get older Proton versions for Heroic through "ProtonPlus".
Now it's probably a game trial & error of finding a working version. My first pick of 6.x had the game start with a black screen...
And as documentation: Any version of 7.x and newer had this input issue, any older versions either had a black screen or didnt start at all.
Situation unsolved.
