Intel installer
- For OS X, there is a official installer that replaced the original installer on disk to fix issues with installing the game on Intel Macs and systems with Leopard (10.5), however it only works on the Limited Edition version of the game. A user-modified version of said installer for all Mac versions is available at this thread. See here for more info.

Issues fixed
Access Violation/Stack Error
This error occurs when you try to start Myst V: End of Ages on Windows Vista/7/8/10 (retail and Steam version). You see (for example):
Exception type: Access violation
Call stack (14 levels):
0x76A04911
0x0066B9D9
0x0044A9A8
0x011243F1

Apply the patch contained in Myst5InitFiles.zip, available here.
When you unzip Myst5InitFiles.zip, you'll have the following files and folders:
-- README.txt
-- progress.db (in \Myst V End of Ages folder)
-- audio.ini (in \Myst V End of Ages\init subfolder)
-- graphics.ini (in \Myst V End of Ages\init subfolder)
From README.txt:
"Before you follow this instructions, you should have installed Myst V with the dvd-rom.
Copy the folder in the zip file (Myst V End of Ages) to:
C:\Users\<your windows username>\AppData\Local
That's it! Myst V should now start up properly.
(If you can't find the folder, remember that AppData is a hidden directory.
Turn on hidden files, or enter the folder path directly into the address bar of Windows Explorer.)"
To clarify, the \Myst V End of Ages folder resulting from unzipping Myst5InitFiles.zip contains:
-- The progress.db file and the \init subfolder.
-- The \init subfolder contains the audio.ini and graphics.ini files.
You must:
-- a. Install Myst V to your C: drive, using the install defaults.
-- b. Download and unzip Myst5InitFiles.zip.
-- c. Replace the existing progress.db, audio.ini, and graphics.ini files with the new ones from Myst5InitFiles.zip. This can be done by either:
1. Overwriting/replacing the existing \Myst V End of Ages folder with the new folder from Myst5InitFiles.zip. This also automatically overwrites/replaces the \init subfolder.
2. Individually overwriting/replacing each of the existing progress.db, audio.ini, and graphics.ini files with the new ones from Myst5InitFiles.zip.
If you can't find C:\Users\<your windows username>\AppData\Local, set your Windows Explorer options to allow viewing hidden files. (Click on Tools > Folder Options > View, click on radio but_ton for "Show hidden files and folders", then click on Apply > OK)

macOS (OS X) | | |
|
In 2006, the game received Intel support - rather than making it a universal binary, however; the developers decided to use Cider for this new app. As a result, the game is unplayable after 10.7 "Lion" due to incompatibilities. |
