Intro is black (no video) on macOS High Sierra (v1.8.2)

Post by Darth Ed »

Hi, all. So happy to see Myth still alive and playable after all these years. Thanks for all your efforts. Myth is one of my all-time favorite games.

I just upgraded from 1.7.1 to 1.8.2, and I noticed that there was no animation/video for the intro (either upon launching 1.8.2 for the first time after upgrading or clicking on "Replay Intro" in the main menu). I could hear the audio but I couldn't see any video. This is in "Windowed" graphics mode, by the way. (Is that the problem?)

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Darth Ed

Did it work in 1.7.1? Can you post your myth_log.txt?

You can download 1.7.1 and test. Also try out the public beta of 1.8.3.

Tried 1.8.3b2, and that fixed the issue!

Thanks, Project Magma developers!
