SO I got an orgional MEchwarrior 2 mercs cd. I used mechvm and clone CD to install it. THe videos, mech lab and all else works. Except for actually launching a mission, then it exits and kicks me to the desktop. And, I cant seem to configure the mech keys to move/operate the mech, as they are all greyed out. Can someone help me?
Also, I found a way to hack mech mercs and get easy $$$ with ONLY mercs and cheat engine ( I bought a flashman at the start :p). I'll post a how-to if someone can help me get this figgin thing to work.
Can someone please help?

Re: Can someone please help?
It does not bring up an error code box thingy, when I minimise the mechvm window the last lines on the background blackbox thingy says:
-C mercs bat
Processes ended with code 0
Everything works fine, except actually playing the levels. When I click launch, it goes black, I get in green lettering "sycronizing interface" or something like that THEN kicked out.

Could you please try installing with the DOSBOX method outlined in this video?

Re: Can someone please help?
That video did not help, if I could simply install it normally I would have. But I did install the 1.1 patch which, after installing decided that I don't need to play the game and deprogress the functionality to the opening video. With no sound. This is what happened when I tried to use mechvm. On the brighter side and thank you for posting that vid, the patch made MERCSWIN.exe actually work, which when I tried to launch a mission, I got that error.

Re: Can someone please help?
Would you be willing to come on IRC chat when you get a chance? It would be much easier to debug this.
