Real MYST is a recreation of the original MYST game in realtime 3D. It also has some new features, such as weather, and the new "Rime" age. While the original disc version is generally regarded as incompatible with newer OS's, the newer GOG.com and Steam versions are relatively stable.

The 1.11 Patch fixes several bugs and adds some mouse options, and can be downloaded [http://www.ubi.com/US/Downloads/Info.aspx?dlId=62 directly from Ubisoft]. Note that the GOG and Steam versions already have this patch, so this is only for the original disc version.

==Issues And Fixes==

===Play on Linux===
===Crash on startup===

The only way to run the game on Linux is through Wine. It works fine after installing [http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=5794&s=188 These video Codecs]. Installing the codecs will "fail", but the game will run fine after that.
The original disc version of the game usually tends to crash on startup when run by a newer OS. This isn't permanent though, and can be fixed by opening and closing the game a few dozen times.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/63600/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (63600) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
