MechWarrior 2 - Mercenaries Patches (DOS/95)
Please note you must NEVER patch DOS with a 95 patch and vice versa. The patches are not compatible. Please look at your disc and chosen installation to choose the appropriate patch.
1.06 is the last DOS patch.

It seems a patch to Mercs 1.1 was published in this thread:

Re: MechWarrior 2 - Mercenaries Patches (DOS/95)
I have tested thecrankyhermit's 1.1 patch. It ran on windows without the use of the hook, I saw the inside of my mech, the HUD system and such, but the entire environment was nothing but a white screen. Then again, I wonder what it would have been like if I had known how to set wireframe up.

Does the Mercenaries DOS patch apply to DOS Box via Mech VM? Also, it it safe to patch a game installed into Mech VM? Thanks.

Re: MechWarrior 2 - Mercenaries Patches (DOS/95)
hmm thats honestly tough say. Theoretically it should be patchable, but don't quote me on that...
I am ify on that myself because if i recall right mechvm for the mercs versions looks like it outputs it slightly differently than it would have if it installed through the normal installer.
Just try and see

Ok, I will try when I get home in a couple hours. The main reason being is because I don't have the dynamic salvage, and it drives me nuts.Sir MMPD Radick wrote:hmm thats honestly tough say. Theoretically it should be patchable, but don't quote me on that...

Re: MechWarrior 2 - Mercenaries Patches (DOS/95)
So, I tried applying the DOS patches to mercs in the Mech VM. It seems to have gone though, but I still se no difference, and no dynamic salvage. Any ideas?

mercs dos does not have dynamic salvage. Only 95 1.1 does.

Re: MechWarrior 2 - Mercenaries Patches (DOS/95)
Copy that. I have installed my copy of Mercs 95 via Mech VM. How do I upgrade to 1.1 from here? Everything else works good, but I want that dynamic salvage! Thanks for your help BTW.Sir MMPD Radick wrote:mercs dos does not have dynamic salvage. Only 95 1.1 does.
Edit: I tried the 1.1 Patch (mpatch.exe), and it just will not for the life of me work to patch Mercs 95 installed in Mech VM. It always says "patch failed". I am just trying to get dynamic salvage. I also tried the other patches 1.5 and 1.6 and they don't work either. Slugs Hook seems like it works, but when I go to run a mission, it takes the mission almost 5 minutes just to open up, and everything is glitchy. Of course, the dynamic salavage works now, but the game is almost unplayable. Kontzas method doesn't work either. It caused wierd audio glitches, like the game playing the wrong sounds at the wrong times. Slugs Patch says it is not the right game.
For crying out loud, I don't understand why I am having so many problems. I have all normal stuff. XP service pack 3, the normal windows 95 version of mercs. (I also have Titanium and 3DFX but I cannot get 3DFX to work correctly and Titanium's music tracks are all cut back to one minute.) It is hard to explain with seeing it.
