Graphics- GeForce4 MX

From Pal's specs he is running the following model: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/p ... p_mdd.html

Pallidice: Your video card has a total of 32 megs of VRAM. I suggest making sure your VRAM in Myth prefs is set to roughly half of that, or 16 megs.

To help with diagnosing your Video renderer issue can you confirm that your Mac is completely up to date with updates via Software Updates. In addition, could you play Willow Creek on both 1.7.2 save the log, and then again on 1.8 PB and post both logs to check for differences in the output please?

Just an update... I think Mel has a good idea of what might have happened with OpenGL not showing up on some GL1.1 Macs. We're working on a fix.

I have a request in to OM at M.Net asking him to update the blue banner people see to read the following:

"Public Beta 1 of Myth II v1.8 has been released! Download and learn more at tinyurl.com/myth1-8pb"
(that tinyurl takes you to this page)

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.
That did it. I played around with it for a while and it looks great. Thanks.

When i start myth its all good,but the moment the game starts Myth swaps over to the other monitor.
If you hold option while starting Myth, it should show you a dialog that lets you select the screen to use.

ok i did that and selected the other monitor
now it changes the resolution on one monitor(the monitor i don't want it on) and is in windowed mode on the other monitor i do want it on.Once i start the game it goes to full screen,which is great.But the other monitor is at the wrong resolution.So Myth is hogging both the monitors.
hmmm now when i'm in the lobby its in windowed mode and once i start the game it goes to full screen,and the other screens resolution is still wrong.

Was play 1.8 with "Trow Killers Inc" plugin.

Repeatedly saw an error message - not sure of the exact working but something like "256 proj limit reached"

Thanks for the report. I am able to reproduce the problem and will have it fixed for the final.

I went OOS while watching a 1.7.2 movie of gladiators. It went OOS about 25 minutes into the game. Same time every spot too.
While hosting a game of gladiators, had a couple people go OOS around the 25 minute mark into the game, 2 games in a row. Something fishy going on here...

Zoso, already reported the issue, no need to keep bringing it up. We already know what is wrong with it and will fix accordingly.
