can only play 1 game. then screen freezes and I must exit and restart Myth
I got onto the bagrada.net server for the first time last night. I played a game. But the game does not exit: instead the video distorts and I must exit Myth and restart Myth before I can play again.
Re: can only play 1 game. then screen freezes and I must exit and restart Myth
Can you provide more information so we can help you?
What operating system are you using?
If Windows, can you try updating your graphics drivers?
If Windows, try selecting OpenGL instead of DirectX 11 in settings or vice versa and see if it helps?
Post the contents of your myth_log.txt file after the issue happens.
Thanks!

I think I found the issue:

Re: can only play 1 game. then screen freezes and I must exit and restart Myth
I don't think the above error should cause the freeze. Can you try selecting DirectX 11 in preferences instead of OpenGL and check if the issue still occurs?
Edit: Also, can you post a screenshot of the distorted video?
Finally, your logs indicate that Myth closed successfully, but your post says the game freezes. Did the error not happen in the sessions from which you posted the logs?

I just chose DirectX 11 and the problem vanished.
the error did happen in those sessions. I will post a screenshot if it happens again.
Thanks for your help.
