Posting this for someone without account at projectmagma.
We tried to start a game on a certain map multiple times for the draft tournament, but he crashed every single time (after loading the map we got a message that he left the game).
He informed me that he had just set up myth and he took my formations and observer constants.
Just thought I should share that with you.
Here's his myth log.

Is it only on that plugin? Is he running a copy of Myth someone handed him or did he ever run one of the Myth updates? If he has not run one of the updates, have him run the 1.8.2 update to set the proper writing permissions.

This bug is something that might be fixed in the latest beta build.

Can he try using it and see if things are better?

Also whoever is still using 1.8.1 should be advised to updated to 1.8.2. No reason to be on a legacy version anymore. And if there is one, it should be reported.

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I talked with the guy again and he said it was solved after he removed his camera and formation files and replaced them by ones from Paris. He also updated later on.

p.s. there seem to be issues with people getting a blackscreen while playing the latest beta, try to get hold of cruniac if you can bc he had that issue today.
