Re: Myth II Linux Beta Testing

I might be a little late to the game, but if you guys need another hand, I'm interested. I don't really play much multiplayer, though, but I'm in the middle of a single player campaign and got a bunch of saves from the earlier missions (so I should be able to test e.g. saved game compatibility to so...

Re: Myth II in linux with or without wine

You mentioned that the cutscenes do not play, I think that is because the loki cutscnes are in a different format that only the linux version can play. If you get the windows cutscenes they should work. The high resolution ones need Quicktime installed to work, and I don't know if Quicktime works w...

Re: Myth II in linux with or without wine

Re: Myth II in linux with or without wine

I got the Windows release of 1.6 installed in Wine and copied the data files from a full install of the Loki version. I'm facing a bit of a problem running the actual game, though: the main menu appears to insist on running at exactly(?) 640x480 @ 50 Hz, a video mode my nvidia driver doesn't support...
