I just got MW2:Mercs Titanium edition and wanted to see if I could get it running on Vista x64.
This version of MW only offers Hardware or Software driven installs. Has anyone found a way to get it to run on vista? I just get the black screen the back to desktop at game launch.

Re: MW2:Mercs Titan
Please install it using mechvm and it might work.
I have never tried it on that OS though, but it usually works on most.
If it fails with mechvm your probably going to have a hard time coaxing it to work.
If it does not I would highly suggest a non enhanced version of the game as those are way better content wise.
The normal version of the game (DOS) works on Vista x64 via DOSBOX.

Re: MW2:Mercs Titan
I have the old one, haven't tried it on vista. I wanted to see this game in all its updated graphical glory but when it came out i did not have the funds and forgot about it in the long run. Lately i find myself scouring the net for New Battletech content. My biggest wish would be to see Battletech online style, like the Mux's but with sim style graphics. Woe the days till Smith & Tinker does something with the IP.

Re: MW2:Mercs Titan
Mechvm is my saviour. The game now runs under Mechvm's exe.
Now if i could just TOTALLY customize my cockpit controls. I would like use of my aswd keys for throttle and chassis turning

Re: MW2:Mercs Titan
heh, well thank Skyfaller there he wrote it! 
As for cockpit controls you might be able to do that in the input.map.. but I have never bothered to use wasd in mech2 so i do not know how it will take it.
Edit:
Yay, my 999th post which makes me a 1st Mechwarrior lol
