That *is* a larger issue. We don't want the game crashing/causing problems for people in the default configuration!

Correct. Therefore, isn't it screamingly obvious to just lower the texture cache to what it was in the previous update? Right? Am I missing something.

No, it is not universal. Raising the texture cache helps certain systems run smoother. It does NOT raise to the same amount for all systems. Therefore if it is raising too high for your system, then something is off and it could be raising it too high for similar systems.

Pyro is correct. There were problems on other people's systems with the old logic. Thus we need to know if there are systems where there are problems with the new logic (like yours), and more importantly the details of such systems so that we can modify the logic accordingly to work for all cases.

Beta has expired?

Post by Welly »

The app won't let me open it, because it's "expired". Is this a problem on my account?

I'm currently running whatever version of Myth II was right before this beta now.

The beta has expired. It was designed this way so people don't keep using a beta when the next beta or when the final is out. Just use 1.7.1 for now until the next version is ready.

Set your PC's date back a few months and rerun the .exe. Works for me.
