And 1.7.2 Universal build doesn't have the issue, right?

EDIT: Also, can you post a mythlog from 1.8 PPC build as well?

bad, bad, bad idea. More segregation of a dwindling game.

Still no fixes for canonical, and historically relevant games Clue: Knife in the Dark & Myth Chess. Bad.

Decrease in performance on ATI Radeon 9600 graphics w/o disabling opengl. bad.

No update to vTFL patch TFL tagset to correct bugs mentioned in thread on this site. bad.
The good news is that 1.8 fixes the scripting coding bug that killed off non-host players in Chess & Clue, this was just verified w/ Myrd but hidden in a extended changelog. Eternally grateful for this fix, I am sure a lot people will be happy that these games play as originally scripted.

The Decrease in FPS can't be resolved thru driver updates, but perhaps a hack w/ poweruser mods:

[Renderer.OpenGL]
UseShaders=False
UseCMapTiles=False

If you click on the "?" button in preferences, it opens the PDF file (must have Adobe Reader) that shows a description for each item including 32bit.

Strangely, I did not open. Then take a look now PDF file highlighted.
(PDF reader I have)

What did you install? Windows or Mac? Or was it a manual install? the PDF has to be in your myth 2 folder for that button to work.

Done (added as edit to above).
Neither 1.72 Universal nor 1.8ß PPC version have this issue.

Hold on there, if I recall, you were never able to figure out how to install the drivers on your computer (unless I missed part of the chat last night, if so apologies on my end), so you really can't say that. There were driver updates for your card.

Okay. Can you try the following:

Create a file called poweruser.txt in your preferences folder and put it in the following:

Code: Select all

[Renderer.OpenGL]
UseShaders=False
UseMipMaps=False
UseNPO2Textures=False
And let us know if this makes the 1.8 UB work for you. If it does, we'll be tweaking 1.8 to make this default for configs such as yours.

Why wouldn't it? The option didn't get removed.

So just to clarify Pallidice - OpenGL not only shows up in the list in 1.7.2, but it works fine for playing games as well? Do detail textures work?
