Re: MechWarrior 2 DOSBox, hangs after mission completion

I wonder what is triggering the Auto-Eject in that resolution? Did you try installing the 1.1 patch for MW2? Also, maybe try going into options and turning on Invulnerability? (just to see if it disables the auto-eject) Maybe it's your CPU or video settings causing a conflict. I've heard weird stuff...

Re: MechWarrior 2 DOSBox, hangs after mission completion

I'm thinking if you had to increase you memsize so dramatically to get it to work on the lower resolutions without issue and trying to go to the highest resolution is the only one giving you issues...starting to think its STILL a memory config issue. EDIT - Maybe try it with all the options turned o...

Re: What is the operating system you currently use most?

I have 3 old desktops. I bought Windows 7 and realized that it can only run right on one of my machines properly (the others are just too old). The reason I haven't upgraded is mostly due to nostalgia for my older games and my innate stubbornness. I just recently upgrade one of my machines off 98 a ...

Re: MW2 Promotional Poster on eBay

Well, considering the price he is offering it for I would think it's genuine. Normally, when I want to go to a high quality printer for anything of that size (Big poster size with high gloss finish) it normally costs multiples more than that listed price. If that is the case, he is just giving them ...

Re: Kell Refusal War install issue (DOS)

OK, in a last ditch effort I tried to make a quick BAT file using the PRJPP add function. Didn't work. No echo at prompt to show that it worked :( (unsure if it is functional or not - tried different forms of the syntax but still no go) Went into the VM and tried adding in there and replacing direct...

Re: Kell Refusal War install issue (DOS)

OK, I went into MechVM and noticed that all the pinkXXXX.bwd's are missing (among a few other slot ranges). Eventually, I looked at my GBL MW2.prj file and see that it is missing there too? I plopped that modified MW2.PRJ back into the GBL and ran that and it seems be working still? I only went as f...

Re: Kell Refusal War install issue (DOS)

That was my thoughts as well that the BWD file in question is corrupted. :( It might give me more incentive to play with the files myself. I've already did a 3D logo for a friend a couple days ago using the old tools so I really want to give this campaign a whirl...by the way, has anyone ever done a...

Kell Refusal War install issue (DOS)

Feel like a bit of an idiot right now...tried to install Kells custom mission campaign Refusal War. As far as I know you go into the mechwarrior 2 game - i guess pick a clan and enter the ready room and go but I can even reading the debriefing without it crashing (unable to read BWD file) and all th...
