I've read that there was a patch released for realMyst, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where to find it or have it?

And what happened to MacPlay? Where they bought out since they don't seem to be supporting their old titles anymore.

I'm pretty sure that Ubisoft patch is for the Windows version given that it's an .exe.

And I have to agree that it's ridiculous that they didn't just kill MacPlay, but are using the name to sell Windows games.

Hi,

Sorry about the first one.
For some odd reason I found the realMYST for Mac patch on ye olde Panther HD archives. It's a .sit package, so it's not Windows. PM me with your e-mail and I'll zap it to ya.
Yes, it's the real myst patch. It has the Vise installer and Macplay in the Read Me.

Got your e-mail. Sent.
If anyone else needs the realMYST for Mac patch, let me know.

From the Read Me First of the realMYST patch package:

Quote

The patch that is included with this read me has been provided to incorporate the use of the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro / Radeon 9000 Mobility video cards and MacPlay's realMyst game. It also addresses issues regarding the use of the game on dual processor machines.

***If you do not have a Radeon 9000 Pro / Radeon 9000 Mobility or a dual processor machine, you do not need this patch and should discard it.***

Thanks, Mike. However, I installed the patch – which addresses my dual processors –  succesfully on my Dual 2.0 G5 with Radeon 9600 Pro running Leopard 10.5.8 and realMyst still crashes with "bus error".
Actually the first time I ran it, it worked fine all trough the intro movie up until I clicked the book. The game promptly crashed at that point. After that it refused to even start the intro, so I removed the file "com.MacPlay.realMyst.plist" in Preferences, but realMyst still crashes with "com.apple.launchd[379] ([0x0-0xc29c29].com.MacPlay.realMYST[87730]) Exited abnormally: Bus error". This even after reinstallation and reupdate with the patch.

Any ideas, gamers?

I solved the problem, sort of. I installed the CHUD tools from Apple Developer Tools and ran CPU palette in order to turn off one processor. This worked, realMyst ran and was playable. However at set "best quality" and 1600 x 900 on my 20–inch display actual quality was way way inferior in comparison to the same realMyst installation running under Tiger 10.4.9, with jerky motion as well as erratic response from mouse action and quality of displayed graphics. Considering this why would anyone want to run realMyst under Leopard? It would be better to install Tiger on an external disk and boot from that.

Anyone can shed some light to why the quality is so bad on G5 hardware running Leopard? BTW, I have 4GB RAM.
