GuavaMoment's work with the Myth III LP is an absolutely top-notch product. Loved it--enough to download all of the saved recordings for my personal review. Thoroughly enjoyable addition to the net-based Myth-series archives. Bravo!

Post your vids, please!

The only reason I can think of that you would need to select "Run as Administrator" is that the user you are logged in as doesn't have permission to read/write the preferences file. Myth does violate the windows standards for this in that it stores preferences and saved games in the same ...

Success! After randomly flailing at various settings, here is what worked for me: Using Pyro's screen pref file for launch in windowed mode, I discovered that I had to select the option "Run as administrator" rather than simply opening the Myth II 1.7 Modern executable file. Since then I'v...

Pyro, thanks for posting a back-up screen preferences file. Unfortunately, I had the same results using yours as I did using Melekor's even after a complete uninstall and re-install.

My computer doesn't have an ATI or Nvidia card; it uses an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator for Mobile display dri...

I would suggest 1) reinstall the latest video card drivers, because maybe the os updates you mentioned messed them up. (make sure to get them directly, not from microsoft.) 2) restart your computer 3) delete your prefs folder 4) try modern again Thanks for the quick feedback, Melekor. I checked my ...

Howdy, All. Thanks for keeping the community alive and for the righteous v1.7. It absolutely rocks. I have an Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3400 @2.16 GHz running Windows Vista (yuck!) Home Basic. It ran the modern versions of the 1.7 betas without a hitch, and initially ran the 1.7, but stopped working o...
