About Myth II 1.4.1

Myth v1.4 features over 100 enhancements, bug fixes and new features to Myth II: Soulblighter, in the areas of: graphics; interface improvements; elimination of plugin lag; elimination of chat lag; elimination of the 'walking bug', new mapmaking features; AI improvements and bug fixes; optional vTFL (virtual TFL) gameplay, which effectively brings both games and communities to the same program; and much, much more.

1.4.1 adds several improvements over 1.4, including faster OpenGL and Direct3D; 1.3/1.4 film support; melee fixes; better widescreen zooming; separated vTFL and anticlump options; F10 now a toggle; along with many more gameplay fixes and refinements.

Installation Steps

  1. If you are using MacOS X copy the “Myth II” application you find in this archive to your Myth II directory. Overwrite the old file that is present.

    If you are using MacOS 7-9 copy the “Myth II Classic” application you find in this archive to your Myth II directory. Overwrite the old file that is present.

  2. Also in this archive is a “Myth 2 EEL” file. Put it in the same directory as the application/executable. This file is needed only if you intend to use MariusNet, but it will not hurt PlayMyth users.

  3. You will have a “For plugins” folder in the same directory as your new Myth II application/executable. Move all the files from the plugins directory in this archive to that directory. Do not move over the folder itself or you will overwrite all of your plugins.

    Note: If you are using the Chimera interface do not copy over the "Patch 1.4 Interface" file or you will overwrite the Chimera Interface.

    Note: If you are using the TFL Interface you will have to download a new version for use with 1.4.1, you can download it here.

  4. This completes the basic 1.4.1 installation. Be sure to visit the preferences, as there are some interesting new features you can take advantage of.

Online Gameplay

bungie.net was closed a while ago, but there are two servers that you can choose from if you would like to play online:

MariusNet: If you have not used MariusNet before you will need to signup and install its file. If you have been using MariusNet with 1.3 or 1.3.2 you will need a new file, if you have been using MariusNet with 1.4 you are ready to play. Please see the MariusNet website:

PlayMyth: If you have been using PlayMyth with 1.3 or 1.3.2 or 1.4 you should be ready to go without any further updating. If you have not used PlayMyth before you can visit its site to signup:
