MacOS & 1.8.3 - Logs out user upon map load

[bulldog99]

Hello!

First, just want to express gratitude for the fact I can revisit my youth playing Myth on a modern system!

Basically, upon loading a map/mission (seeing the first part of the progress bar) Myth II closes and I'm presented with the login screen as if I pressed the Log Out option under the Apple menu. This happens about 75% of the time, New Game, Saved Game, Tutorial, all of them.

Any/all feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Does the demo have the same behavior?

It does indeed, usually after using "revert to last save" four or five times.

Very strange.

I'm curious if it's a graphics problem. Could you try using selecting Software rendering instead of OpenGL in preferences and see if the problem happens still? If it does, it means that it is a graphics issue and I'm not sure what to suggest, but at least we know what it's related to.
