Myth II: Soublighter v1.7.1

Description

Myth II Version 1.7.1 is a bug fix update to Myth II 1.7, containing over 100 individual fixes and improvements.

A few examples of things that were fixed in 1.7.1:

• Sounds occasionally playing at maximum volume when they shouldn't.
• Units getting permanently stuck in a clump.
• The 'Heron Turn' bug, where a Heron would bizarrely turn 90° before healing.
• Erroneous endgame scoring, famously seen at MWC '09.
• Netgame crashes when starting a coop with over 102 veterans.
• A glitch that could cause the last level to become impossible to win.
• Several serious issues fixed on Windows Vista / Windows 7.
• A few causes of reduced OpenGL performance.
• Various small issues with the interface and 3rd party interfaces.
• Incorrect zoom levels on widescreen monitors.
... And many, many more. A list of changes is available here.

Myth II 1.7.1 builds upon the the strong foundation of Myth II 1.7. Version 1.7 was a feature and bug fix update, which brought exciting new features to the game, such as detail textures, smoother camera movement, an online plugin finder and more.

Some highlights of 1.7:

• Support for high-resolution detail textures under OpenGL.
• Improvements to the in-game camera to make it feel smoother and more responsive.
• A resizable overhead map, which can be easily scaled 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.
• New mapmaking features to allow for interesting gameplay in 3rd party add-ons.
Taking full advantage of the new detail texturing system available in Myth II 1.7, Project Magma is proud to present Bungie Map Textures. Bungie Map Textures is an optional add-on plugin featuring detail textures for all the original Myth II solo and multiplayer maps. Experience your favorite levels as never before, in stunning high-fidelity high-resolution 24 bit glory!
