Can't host network - game exits back into main menu

Post by Deceiver »

I'm running Myth II 1.7.2 on my Macbook Pro - whenever I want to host a network game- after the map loads the game jumps straight back into main menu. Why?

Second question i had a while ago was, is there a map where u can play Balor in multiplayer?

Please post the contents of your myth_log.txt file that's in the M2 folder. That way we can see what is happening.

please try to find out, I would LOVE to play Balor - the one from TFL where he's in his iron suit and makes hell rain on you :)

There is Wars of Reckoning. It is meant to be played with lots of people though. There is also some multiplayer map in Shiver's Turn with Balor in one of the teams.

Enable vTFL for that map you tried to run but didn't load.
