Only way around it is to google-fu a no-cd to get around it and run the exe in compatability mode (XP SP2 does the job) if you're running the free Source Code release then you wont need a no-cd for the EXE, youвЂ™ll need the original cd/iso loaded for the game to play properly or itвЂ™ll complain about missing files when you try start a mission. The game wonвЂ™t run on ењ†4 due to the same securom issue effecting Mechwarrior 4.

MS released it for free along with its source code and there have been some nice mods released for it since. Simplistic logistic and command interface and an AI so thick it could have starred on a daytime talkshow made it far too easy and unengaging. I wouldnвЂ™t advise it though as the art assets for the pre mission logistic phase wont scale upwards forcing you to plan your mission on a postage stamp.ДЈD Mechcommander should have been awesome, instead it ended up being Mechcommander light.

#MECHWARRIOR 3 EMULATOR CLASSIC RELOAD INSTALL#

You can change the resolution by modifying the Prefs.cfg in the install directory and adding the line l Resolution=3 to run the game at 1280x1024. You may have a discoloured menu to begin with as directdraw initialises but just click into a menu option that isnвЂ™t options and it should go away.

Mechcommander plays exclusively with directdraw (a 2D version of D3D for those wondering what it is) so you shouldnвЂ™t have any problems. The solution is to copy/paste everything from the CD and dump it into a local folder, MCX.exe will run the game but youвЂ™ll still need the disc in the drive to play.

#MECHWARRIOR 3 EMULATOR CLASSIC RELOAD MANUAL#

hell even the manual was awesome at 384 pages it was written like an actual mech command software manual and was dripping in lore and statistics, So much fun oh and the best Intro ever for a mech game.ДЇorget it, Mechcommander was built with a 16bit installer which will not work no matter how hard you hit it.

#MECHWARRIOR 3 EMULATOR CLASSIC RELOAD PATCH#

вЂњThe first Mechwarrior game of tactical commandвЂќ absolutely brilliant in everything and staggeringly difficult, so difficult in fact that a patch was released giving you a starting crutch in the form of a Mad Cat, which was hilarious because none of your pilots had the skills to use it properly. When the game first runs its hardware auto detection may have issues finding your GPU be sure to make sure your video adaptor is shown in the videocard dropdown otherwise the game will start at a low resolution and wonвЂ™t be changeable in game until you run the auto detection from the games directory again. ShouldnвЂ™t take you more than a few mins to find one. Despite MS making the game and its source code free to download I donвЂ™t want to post links to a No-CD so youвЂ™ll have to exercise some google-fu. I found it much easier to grab a No-CD instead. The game wonвЂ™t run on ењ†4 due to an incompatible version of Securom copy protection sitting in the EXE, someone told me that forcing a 32bit argument on the exe worked but I think he was chatting ***. After MS snatched VWEG in 99 to nab the intellectual properties of FASA they then proceeded to take Mechwarrior in a horrifying new direction, gone was the deep futuristic mech simulator and replacing it was a god awful PEW PEW PEW action game. The titanium editions of MW2 and GBL were built on the MERCS engine and I know people have managed to get that working through a voodoo ritual involving 2 chickens and an urban mech.

Never got past installation, became too much of a headache in the end. It might be worth investigating MECHVM which essentially forces them to run in a dosbox but but youвЂ™ll need to rip your discs to ISOвЂ™s to try it. I did manage to get MERCS to install and run but failure to initialise the 3D Engine upon starting a mission meant I didnвЂ™t get very far, could be a directx issue. The original MW2 and GBL were DOS only and while Mercs added support for windows 95 it was one of the first games to run on windows and it was flaky at best, I think everyone just ran it from DOS and left it at that. If you remember them fondly IвЂ™d probably recommended leaving it at that. Between the original retail/3DFX/Rage/PowrVR/Titanium/ATI there are so many ways of getting these to work that itвЂ™s a bloody nightmare to try and list them all. There are far too many sodding versions of these games made.

The original trilogy and a starting point for many Mech fans unfamiliar with the TT.
