===Intel installer===

{{ii}} For [[OS X]], there is a [https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/Faqs/000010847/Myst-V-patch-for-the-Mac-Intel-1364550268401 official installer] that replaced the original installer on disk to fix issues with installing the game on Intel Macs and systems with Leopard (10.5), however it only works on the Limited Edition version of the game. A user-modified version of said installer for all Mac versions is available [https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/306449-Mac-Installing-on-Intel-Macs-using-official-Ubisoft-patch-Forums at this thread]. See [[#Other_information|here]] for more info.

Intel installer

For OS X, there is a official installer that replaced the original installer on disk to fix issues with installing the game on Intel Macs and systems with Leopard (10.5), however it only works on the Limited Edition version of the game. A user-modified version of said installer for all Mac versions is available at this thread. See here for more info.

Issues fixed

Access Violation/Stack Error

This error occurs when you try to start Myst V: End of Ages on Windows Vista/7/8/10 (retail, Steam and GOG versions).

You see (for example):

Exception type: Access violation Call stack (14 levels):
0x76A04911
0x0066B9D9
0x0044A9A8
0x011243F1

Apply the patch contained in Myst5InitFiles.zip, available here.

When you unzip Myst5InitFiles.zip, you'll have the following files and folders:

README.txt
progress.db (in \Myst V End of Ages folder)
audio.ini (in \Myst V End of Ages\init subfolder)
graphics.ini (in \Myst V End of Ages\init subfolder)

  1. Copy the folder in the zip file (Myst V End of Ages) to C:\Users\<your windows username>\AppData\Local (The AppData folder is hidden by default, you must show the hidden files and folders in Windows).
  2. That's it! Myst V should now start up properly.
