Is this a Universal Binary update or will the updated version become "Intel Only"?

NO WAY. Ubisoft actually patched Myst V?
Now if only someone would carbonize Myst and Riven... And The Manhole Masterpiece Edition :D

Peter,

Myst V is not a universal (Intel/PPC) binary. The patch simply fixes the installer so that it is able to be installed on an Intel Mac without hacking. Myst V itself is a PPC app and will be emulated via Rosetta.



This is the response I got from the Official Ubi-Soft support. The patch is extremely misleading, broken, and poorly documented. It is not really a patch at all. It is simply a downloadable installer for the game that does not contain the java bug that the shipping version did.

Is there a way to get the Universal binary games section changed to accurately reflect the NON-universal state of Myst V
