Try seeing if there are updated drivers available for your video card, since we've narrowed it down to a problem with DirectX.

mythlog.txt is a text file in your Myth directory (which would be something like C:\Program Files\Myth II) which is where myth records information when it's running, and thus this file can sometimes help with debugging.

Does this also happen when you play back films (of games played by other people and completed succesfully) on the same maps? Does anything show up in your mythlog? Do you notice any patterns between the maps it crashes on (ie certain unit types, scenery types, etc). If this is happening with Direct...

Sounds like either you have a bad driver, or maybe Myth's 3D sound is simply incompatible with your sound card. :\

Anything in your local folder is ignored when playing on a metaserver. You need to build an actual plugin with Fear, and activate it to play it on PlayMyth.

Not sure, otherwise we could just fix it. But since it's been proven to fix many issues, it's a worthwhile solution to suggest to people experiencing problems.

Ok, I can't reproduce this on my setup, so more questions for you. Are you sure the Mac client is using the same version of Myth II as your PC host? If you delete prefs, and don't set them (ie keeping the defaults), does this still occur?

Hmm, I'll look into this on my end - it may be a bug in Myth. I'll see if I can reproduce it, if I am successful, it will be fixed for 1.5.1.

I can't see anything wrong with your mythlog... so let's look elsewhere. When you say multiplayer, do you mean using PlayMyth? If so, try to see if the same happens if you use TCP/IP. If you used TCP/IP in the first place, make sure all players' local folders are empty. Also, try different maps to ...

Try deleting your preferences. If that doesn't help - can you post the contents of your mythlog.txt file (in the Myth II directory) after a crash occurs?

You can try just removing the whoile Myth II directory, since that would really be the equivalent of an uninstall since Myth doesn't store things outside of its directory.

It's a scripting bug in the original bungie level - and it was such that it happened only a fraction of the time - most of the time the level ending normally. Are you getting this problem consistently (ie every time), or is it a one-time thing?

Thanks on the heads up regarding this issue - I'll take a look at it and see what I can find and if it can be fixed for 1.5.1.

AFAIK, the Windows version of Myth 2 1.5 runs very well on Linux using Cedega (www.transgaming.com).

Wait for 1.5.1.
