Myth II version 1.6 is a bugfix & enhancement update, correcting some annoying errors that slipped through the testing in 1.5.1 and adding a few new features and some modernization of the engine. 1.6 plays almost identical to 1.5.1. In fact it has a 1.5.1 compatibility mode, which is used when a 1.5.1 player is in a multiplayer game.
Version 1.6 is the first release to have native OS X Universal app along with OS X native map making tools.
The most significant changes are a modernization of the windows graphics code to allow Myth to be displayed in a window along with an option to share the CPU with other tasks when used under OS X or Windows, Myth also renders the screen at the FPS doing displayed rather then the internal 30 FPS cap in previous versions.

Additional Comments
A few things. First, this game did run under previous versions of wine. But it does not run as stable as others have reported. This is because Myth II is very unstable under multiplayer, and most of the reports admit they did not test multiplayer. I have tested this game under various versions of Wine and my Slackware OS with varying degrees of success. However, this is the first time the game failed to run at all.

Upgraded to 1.7
Ran like charm. OGL mode works fine in terms of graphics and mouse.
However, in the game, keyboard does not work at all.
Anyone had this issue?
Thanks.

Since 1.0.0 I have been unable to run this... currently I have Wine 1.1.3 installed. I am running with Slackware 12.1 using onboard GPU on my GeForce 6100 M-9 motherboard.
Here is my error output:
$ wine "Myth II.exe" -opengl

Forcing xorg to screen BPP 16 does not make any difference.

Strangely enough by running Myth\ II\ Old.exe seems to reset it, so run the old one, exit and then run the new one again and it seems to have deleted the options?
Anyone else suffer from this or is it just me?
