Blue & grey crashes back to menu under 1.43

First off, a big thanks to Project Magman, and the awesome work they've done in updating my favorite game of all time. The fact that I can now again play Myth TFL with accelerated graphics is damn happy news for me.

I'm also very impressed with Blue & Grey, and would love to dive into that campaign. I just recently re-installed Myth II when I heard about PM's works. I first had the 1.41 patch, and B&G worked fine under that. Since updating to 1.43, B&G will load it's first mission, then crash back to the main menu.

Any ideas? TIA.

Stray thought: Are you using Blue and Grey version 1 or 2? There's been a newer version avaiable for a few months, and I suspect that you might be using the older one.

BTW - TIA = Thanks In Advance?

yes, TIA = thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am using B&G v2 that I got from the Project Magma downloads page just a few days ago.

Alright, I went and redownloaded the plug from this site (to see if the file was corrupted), and played the solo map - Honor Redeemed. It ran fine. :\

I just caught something. You said "Since updating to 1.4.3..." does that mean you are still using Myth II version 1.4.3? If so, I'd suggest you update to Myth II version 1.5 public beta #2, and see if that solves your problem.

Side thought: Are you sure you're enabling BOTH the unitset plug and the levelset pluing for B&G? If you aren't enabling the unitset plugin, that might be why the plug-in is crashing to the desktop, for you.

Well, I'm going to post the text of my mythlog file, in hopes it'll help you:

DOH! That was it. I was forgetting to activate both plugins! Thanks a bunch!
