I am currently running mac os 10.2.8 and am contemplating upgrading to 10.3. Has anybody had any issues with myth II not running as well on 10.3? I usually play on LAN games with a person running an imac 266 mhz g3 (os 9.2?) another on an ibook (9.2?) and two persons running windows. We have been using myth II version 1.4.3 as it seems to meet our needs better (1.5 does not run as well on the imac) My machine is a G4 733 mhz.
Looking for advice.
Thanks

I have deliberately stopped updated my OSX stuff because some people reported that is made some old Myth tools unusable. (Apathy for example) I haven't heard of any problems related to just playing the game though.
Our programmers are pretty good about staying on top of any kind of curve balls Apple throws our way, at least as far as keeping the main game working.

Version 1.4 breaks under OpenGL in OS X 10.3.3 or later. Version 1.5 works fine on it, however.
Is there any reasons in particular that you prefer version 1.4.3 because of the imac? Like what issues does 1.5 have on the OS9 imac that 1.4.3 doesn't have?

I appreciate the input.
The problem is that the iMac runs more jerky under 1.5 than it does under 1.4.3.
I will retry 1.5 on the imac this weekend and run some games and get back to you.
Thanks alot!

Using what settings? Software mode? RAVE? 3Dfx? Resolution?
EDIT: and skrew, why didn't you tell me anything about this on hotline before? all i've ever heard from you is ROTD crashes, nothing about fps slow down
EDIT2: I get identical fps under RAVE and software mode on my powermac g3 233 (overclocked to 300) on 1.5 as I do on 1.4.1.

The software on the iMac 266 settings would be Rave with a resolution of 800 x 600 95 mhz.
I haven't had a chance to check the imac this weekend on 1.5. I will be checking it soon
Thanks

on a G4 with 10.3.4 and 867mhz I have absolutely no problem at all with myth 1.5 nor apathy or loathing or fear.
I think 1.4 had issues on open GL, but since I upgraded to Myth 1.5 the only problem is when you exit myth that it crashes...but that's it...

Thanks for the help. The iMac was updated to OS 10.2, Myth II was updated to 1.5 and all seem to be running much better.
What Project Magma does is greatly appreciated!
Later

Yet one more question--
What is the maximum number of plugins that will work if placed in the plugins folder in version 1.5?

I have 111 plugins currently in my plugins folder, and all works well.

I just installed Myth II 1.5 on my new 1.3ghz 12" Powerbook under OS-10.3.5 and all seems well.
The only downer seems to be that I can't play my old 1.4.x films. 
I was going to copy over 1.4 so that I could watch the old films but if 1.4 is unstable on my current OS, as folks have suggested here I won't bother.
But I'd love to be able to watch those films again...
BTW while I'm here a big thanks to the Project Magma team for doing such an amazing job keeping this game going and up-to-date - especially for the usually forgotten Mac platform! Thanks!!

I've recently just come back to this great game and am glad to see such a vibrant following - still! I've reinstalled my Myth TFL and Myth II discs to my new G5 running 10.3.6. Myth FTL works fine but Myth II has nothing but mess on the screen. Have I installed the wrong files (I used version 1.5)? Would appreciate some help. Thanks.

Thousands of plugins and you wont run into problems methinks 
I've got well over 200 and all works smoothly.
And maug... who told you those rumors that apathy doesnt work on later versions? It's worked on every version i've had 
I'm on 10.3.6 and all my tools run fine under classic.
Flyingflip is doing a nice job with updating it too... lots of work has gone into Myth 3 since it's release a few years back.. its a complete game now at least
