Re: Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

Re: Can't complete missions

I noticed playing the training missions that it failed on the first one...was getting a weird write error BUT I sped through the first training mission again and at the last 150 meters out I slowed my mech down and it was successful. Dropping my speed down when returning to the dropship to level 2 s...

Re: Hey I'm new, really hoping you guys can help me, getting frustraited...

Where did you find the patch and how did you apply it? That's the problem with mounting CDs and stuff. They use different logical letters and it could get a bit zany. The best thing to do is put the patch in the installed game folder DosBox made. The Trick is you have to do it in DosBox. So you go i...

USB mouse working in PS/2 in DOS

Hi, I got Mercenaries installed on an old Celeron 500 machine with Windows 98 (w/KernelEx applied to it to give it some light XP functionality) Now my original mouse with the wheel was malfunctioning and I knew I had an old USB to PS/2 adapater laying around. Went to the dollar store and bought mini...

Re: Can't complete missions

Yes, outside of the training missions it was OK. That's how it was for me too...but you need to apply the patch if you have the vanilla DOS version. I found dropping the textures to low fixed the timing issue I was suffering from and the training missions behaved better...with it full blown I notice...

Re: Can't complete missions

This sounds familiar..I know there was an issue with mercs in the training/tutorial missions and the patch was supposed to address some of those. Plus I think it also might be a graphics driver issue too. Was somewhere online or in the readme I read about some similar issues. I think I had to drop t...

Re: No music in titanium editions

I had a similar issue but it was due to an oversight seeing as the audio line of my CD/DVD player wasn't connected to my SB16 sound board. So that gave me the same issue where there was sound effects but no music at all but that was in DOS. I recently recycled an old pentium computer with win98 runn...

Re: Strange bugs in Mechwarrior 2 Win95 edition
