I could be wrong but sounds like the data files in "tags" directory might be corrupted? Maybe re-copy those files again from your original CD?

The log mentions the crash after trying to look for OpenGL devices, so I don't think its his game files. He might need to try updating his graphics drivers.

I thought that sounds a lot like it's not able to read some of the data?? Dunno.. haha

[Pyro]

Nah, that just means some file in his local folder is messed up somehow. If he doesn't care about any of the files in his local (like custom formation or observer constants) then he should delete it or rename the folder. That error message just says Myth doesn't like something about that file but would not be the cause of a crash.

Thank you for your help...

[Breedee777]

Thanks for your help, i think thats it because i did recently did a update on my graphics card

[punkUser]

Yes this definitely looks graphics driver related. Perhaps reinstall the latest drivers?

Alternatively you can try using DirectX 10/11 mode.
