Myth II Version 1.7 is the latest result of the community-based effort to continue the tradition of improving the game. Myth II runs better than ever with accelerated hardware rendering on both Windows XP and Mac OS X platforms, while keeping support for the hardware it was originally designed for. Overall game responsiveness has been improved, and many old causes of crashing and out-of-sync gameplay have been eliminated. Dozens of annoying bugs and oddities have been fixed, making this update the most stable ever - rendering the Myth experience that much more enjoyable.

A full list of new features and updates for v1.7 can be found here. You do not need to download any previous patch before v1.7.

The demo has been been updated as well to include all the latest 1.7 features including detail textures for the playable maps.

Highlights

• Support for high-resolution detail textures under OpenGL, bringing Myth's graphics into the 21st century.
• Improvements to the in-game camera which make the game feel smoother and more responsive than ever before.
• A resizable overhead map, which can be easily scaled to any size by shift-clicking and dragging.
• A system to automatically find missing plugins, if they are available on The Tain.
• Support for high-resolution quicktime cutscenes.
• Numerous bug fixes eliminating many causes of crashing and Out of Sync errors.
