Myth TFL Crash On Mission Complete

[king_diesel]

Hey All,

I just got ahold of Myth Total Codex and installed Myth TFL and Myth Soulblighter along with the patches 1.5,1.6 respectively. Unforunately, Myth TFL crashes to desktop on me after I complete any mission. I'm using Windows Vista. Here is the contents of my log file after crash

Any advice?

Hmmm try maybe changing the compatability mode for TFL to Windows XP. Or change your desktop's resolution before running TFL. Or just play Myth2's The Fallen Levels plugin which is TFL solo levels in Myth 2.

Turning down my desktop resolution to 800x600, then setting Compatibility options of the exe to:

• Run in 640x480
  Disable visual themes
  Disable desktop composition
  Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

Only when I do all these things, will the game run. Even then it will run in a 640x480 square in the top left corner of my 1st monitor. (I have two monitors if that makes a difference). So it's not ideal, but at least I can play.

Thanks for your help.
