Essential improvements
Official patch
- The latest official patch is version 1.3, available from Patches-Scrolls.
Project Magma patch
- Adds OpenGL rendering and improves compatibility as well as add OS X support for Mac. Can be downloaded here.
- This patch also removes the game's DRM; copy
cutscenes.gor
off the disk into the tags
folder in the game's install directory to have cutscenes play without the disc inserted.
Melekor's TFL Launcher
A workaround for the game's memory bug, necessary for running on systems with more than 1 GB RAM. Can be downloaded here. Only needed if using official patch 1.3.
Myth: The Fallen Levels
- Brings Myth: The Fallen Lords content to Myth II: Soulblighter. The TFL Gameplay option in the new game menu needs to be set or the game will use Myth II's regular game balancing.
- Singleplayer levels are available here and multiplayer here.
- There is an updated version of the Project Magma levels, with all minor issues and continuity issues fixed. This modernized version is more accurate to the original game. Can be downloaded from The Tain.
