Subject: Does the Myth series work on windows 7?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I was thinking of buying Myth the fallen lords and Myth 2 but I have a windows 7 PC.

Will Both those games work?

And, is there a way I can right click or run in compatibility mode or something?

Thank you

Yes, Myth 2 will work in Windows 7. You will need the most recent patch (v1.7.2) from Project Magma.

Personally I don't use Windows 7, so I don't know if compatibility mode is a requirement or not, but Myth 2 can be run using compatibility mode.

Also you don't need to pay for a copy of Myth The Fallen Lords. If you buy a copy of Myth 2, you can freely download the entire Myth TFL campaign as a plugin for Myth 2. The plugin, which can also be found at Project Magma, is called The Fallen Levels.

How do I run in compatibility mode again?

Do I right click the game?

I believe so. As I said, I'm not very familiar with Windows 7. However a quick Google search ought to get you the information you need concerning compatibility mode.

Thanks, I think I will try and run in compatibility mode when I get Myth 2 and Myth.

I hope I don't need a patch.

The Myth 2 1.7.2 patch from Project Magma is essential. It fixes countless bugs, makes the game much more stable in newer operating systems (i.e. anything Windows XP or newer), upgrades the graphics to higher resolutions far beyond the original capabilities, and updates the netcode so that it is possible to connect to the current online servers. The 1.7.2 patch makes the game playable on current computers. It is all but required to play Myth 2.

So if I download it, where do I move the file to and what do I do?

The file I linked is an executable. All you do is save it on your computer, then run the executable file and follow the prompts. It will automatically update Myth 2 to version 1.7.2. Obviously you need to have Myth 2 installed first before you can patch it, so the steps are:

1. Get a copy of Myth 2.
2. Install Myth 2.
3. Download 1.7.2 patch from Project Magma.
4. Run executable file to automatically update Myth 2 to v 1.7.2.

Awesome, it does it for me. It is so simple, thank you.
