Actually there's much more chance of the drivers being outdated, since apple updates drivers much less frequently than the IHVs, if they update them at all. But I digress...

That will be in the myth log, no need to look it up separately.
Still crashing in the graphics driver. Since updating drivers didn't help, I can suggest some possible workarounds:
-You could try using DirectX instead
-You could try editing your poweruser.txt as described here: http://tain.totalcodex.net/forum/viewto ... ser#p63027
sometimes the myth lobby stops updating. so for example the game information or the players in lobby don't show correctly. also player stats etc don't load. the only way to fix it is to leave and re-join the room. This has happened to me about 4-5 times since 1.8.0 beta 1. I often leave myth open in the background for several hours so it is very difficult to say when the updating stops, making re-producing also quite difficult.
another thing: when watching recordigs, units sunk in deep water do not show on overview map.
information on my setup:
windows 7 64-bit
nvidia GPU with latest drivers
open GL 4.3 rendering
use multiple processors/cores is selected
myth in windowed mode
Yeah definitely graphics driver crashes. I talked to him on Mnet and he has updated his drivers so at this point the only options may be to try D3D, or perhaps OpenGL with UseShaders=false (as Melekor described above) to see if they tend to be less crashy. Otherwise there is always software...
Yesterday I heard a strange sound while playing Myth II, turning ambient sounds of helped to get rid of it.
Also, I found at that the sound option openAL results in NO SOUND AT ALL.
I wasn't able to reproduce the strange sound today, but maybe other people have heard this as well?
Here's my myth log:

Okay, I had the sound problem again when I watched one of yesterday's replay's (gimble with ambient sounds on). Happened on 1.7.2

Unfortunately we didn't get around to fixing either of these in time for the final version, but we'll keep them in mind for 1.8.1.
For the lobby thing, we don't know why it happens but the pattern seems to be that it is more likely when the 'use multicore' preference is selected. You could try unchecking that and see if it stops happening.

To get a bit more info, do you mean everything stops updating including the chat, or that some game or room count or similar lingers? Does changing rooms help or does it disconnect you?

The whole information you see in lobby "freezes" i.e. game info, players in room, chat, etc...
as I said leaving and re-joining the room fixes it
You are logged in when this happens right? Not as a guest? I know guest accounts on Mnet have this issue and I think that is a metaserver side problem. If this happens while logged in, then that sounds like a possible Myth issue. Did you go to preferences and disable "Use Multiple Processors/Cores" to see if it helps?
