RealMyst

Introduction

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.

Windows

Availability

The game is available with various compatibility fixes and modernization on Steam and GOG. The original CD version is out of print.

Patches

The 1.11 Patch fixes several bugs and adds some mouse options, and can be downloaded 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

Crash on startup

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.

Save Game Data

Save Game Folder Location

Refer to the Style Policy for guidance on formatting.

Use <code> tags to display file names:

• settings.ini

Use <code> tags to display default full file paths:

• Windows 7: C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\My Documents\
• Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\My Documents\

I have decided to change paths using <pre> tags. This is because there are a number of display issues with <code> file paths overlapping over floating divs such as the infobox.--Andytizer (talk) 05:26, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Improvements

Borderless Fullscreen Windowed

• Is this enabled natively?
• Which hacks work?

Mac

Include the same headers as the above Windows header if there is relevant information.

Linux

The only way to run the game on Linux is through Wine. It works fine after installing These video Codecs. Installing the codecs will "fail", but the game will run fine after that.
