Essential improvements

Patch 1.11

All digital copies of the game come with it pre-installed

This patch fixes several bugs and adds some mouse options, and can be downloaded directly from Ubisoft.

Play on 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.

Issues fixed

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.

Link book videos display solid white & general instability

Setup the game's compatibility settings Go to the game installation folder Right click on RealMyst.exe file and select "Properties". Go to the "Compatibility" tab and enable Compatibility Mode (set it to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)"). Save the changes. Launch the game.
