The new built is great (the FPS limit is a good idea, and the compatibility is great) up to the moment when you play online. Here is the issue: when I host poeple yell at me and complain about the huge lag, when I join I complain about the lag - it's completely unplayeable at times. I don't know how it looks when everyone has the 1.60, I have been playing with people on 1.5.1
I'm certain that this is not the issue of my connection (256kb/s ADSL dial-up), I checked with a few people today and when I host the 1.60 they have lag but when I go back to 1.5.1 they say the lag is gone and everything is fine.
I'm on windows xp and I use the window (recomended?) version - did not use the preovious builds - sorry forgot about the missing info.
Here are my system specs (should it help): Athlon XP 2400+ @2GH, 512 RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 (I know it probably has nothing to do with lag issues but just in case).
I would never go back to 1.5.1... why bother when I have 1.5.2 build 280 incase 1.6.0 build 282 ever gave me issues... which it hasn't. To download build 280 incase you don't have it go to the www.thetain.net and in the link for the PC 1.6 patch copy that link and edit it from 282 to 280 so you can download 1.5.2 build 280... see if that gives you issues might help Myrd and CIK tell you what's wrong.
Try installing the classic windows build. While we would prefer to fix the issues with the Windowed build we also want you to be able to play myth in the mean time. If that works let us know and mb I can get you connected with our Windows programer and the two of you can nail down the problem.
I don't have problems with playing Myth and running it, the new build works really fine, apart form the lags during online games. I have no issues watching films and stuff, just online play. I'll try the classic build and let you know as fast as I get anyone who will want to play online just to test it. As I mentioned before poeple awfully complained about lag issues
