Post by nordicbear »

Hi!
I've got a big problem with myth tfl!
the game crashes back to desktop after the intro video without any error box!
My pc has got:
-win xp
-an intel core 2 duo 2,66ghz
-3 gb ram
-a geforce 8600Gt
and a 500 gb hard disk

Thanks in advance!!!

It doesn't even show the main menu screen? (1.5 is supposed to work with XP - but it's not quite as compatible as Myth II is... people have reported issues - especially with OpenGL)

Is there anything in your myth_log.txt and is this a non-English or downloaded version of TFL?

Have you got Windows 95 emulation mode on for TFL? Because TFL 1.5 shouldn't need it.

Could you look at your CD and see if it's scratched? Try copying CUTSCENE.GOR from the CD to \Myth_TFL\tags\ .

By tried and still doesn't work, does that mean you couldn't copy it over or that you were successful but TFL still doesn't work? The Cutscene alone won't make the game run copy the other files over, perhaps the installer has an error so you might have to do it manually. Then apply the 1.5 update.

Nordicbear, you should be able to run a Myth TFL 1.3 installation so long as you limit RAM to 512mb via msconfig.exe for the duration, and enable Win95 emulation mode for the TFL executable.

I do wonder why it said it was running under Windows 95. Which service pack and version of Direct X do you have installed? What screen display mode are you using for your desktop?
