The only way I know to solve the Keshik overweight bug would be to use MechVM's Mech Lab with the 3DFX simulation. If you are interested, you can test if you can invoke the 3DFX simulation via console, using something like
mw2win pinkscn1
If that launches Jade Falcon Mission 1 directly, then MechVM's Shell and Mech Lab can be used with the 3DFX version.

Whats wrong with MechVM? It is the only install method with support behind it.

Well, you could use Slug's patch for the Mech2 95 vanilla version.
Otherwise a combination of both kontza's and slugs method should fix it...
Instructions are in sections 3 and 4.
