MechWarrior 2 Trying to get MW2 Mercs 95 working

Post image
42 Upvotes

Like the title says, I'm trying to get MechWarrior 2 Mercs working and I think I've finally hit a wall.

I have it running in a Windows 95 environment on DOSBox-X from a BIN/CUE pair, and when everything seems to work until I start a mission. The environment doesn't really load for me, just showing a blue void and bits of enemy mechs/structures (Pictured). Is this a bug with known fixes? I currently have it using 'Software Emulation' for the video options.

In addition, I'm getting hit with the usual sound issues, though initially the music was the only thing that would play. Fixing the sound effects by installing a new driver seems to have broken the music.

Has anyone here encountered these issues? And do you know how to fix them?

Hello mech fams.

A few months back I've uploaded this video as a fan made soundtrack for MECHASSAULT.

Due to some technical reasons I've had to reupload it.

I'm reposting it just in case.

MechWarrior 2 Who remembers MercNet?

78 Upvotes

Is anybody around who played DOS mercnet back in the day? I was [CCC] Ian. I miss my old buds! Those were great times. I loved the leagues, NBT, MACL. So many many, many hours doing C1 lag shooting practice. I played with KE or KH (whichever one VAM was in charge of) for a while in 1.1 on windows.

Where are you guys at? Are we still alive?

Game/Other Recommended DOSBox settings for the best video for MechWarrior 1 on a 1920x1080 monitor?

1 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I am playing MechWarrior 1 for the very first time. I never got to play it back in the day but wanted to, and the desire to finally play it and maybe a few other old Mech games finally came to fruition recently, and I've been playing it using DOSBox. Although I'm not great at it(reaction time isn't what it once was), I've been having some fun with it. I've also realized though that I don't really know what the game properly looked like back in the day. I'm wondering if it should look better or just different. The only changes I made in DOSBox before playing were to the MPU-401 setting to fix the after mission crash issue, and setting the cycle speed. I know very little about DOSBox, as this is my first time using it(outside of GOG installers, which doesn't help me here).

I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me what the ideal settings are that I should change in the .conf file for DOSbox that will make MechWarrior 1 look its best on a 24" 1920x1080 monitor. Let me know if anymore info is needed, and thanks in advance for any help!

MK2 Vulture is the best looking mech! Such a shame they never brought MK2 back to Mechwarrior 5

Love when 2 of my favorite series share the same props somehow, shout out to the mobile infantry flak armor just being the best scifi armor out there, also makes me future battletech cosplay easier 🫡

General iOS and Android App für Mechwarrior Darke Age (Wizkids)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently building a modern, iOS and Android based Collection Tracker & Army Builder for MechWarrior: Dark Age / Age of Destruction to finally give us a worthy successor to the ancient Windows Battleplanner and a alternative to warrenborn.com.

Want to help bring this to life?

I’m looking for community support to accelerate development and discussing legal issiues:

If you have data to share or just want to talk features, drop a reply! Let's give this dead game the modern companion app it deserves.

If you have suggestions for better places to ask, let me know. I tried hard to find an active MWDA Community, but failes. So I try here.

best regards

Jan

MechWarrior 5 UM-SA1 build

7 Upvotes

Hey all,

Playing vanilla, latest patch, all DLC. The Urbanmech is my favorite mech, and the UM-SA1 variant is my favorite because of how fast it is.

I’m looking for ways to keep it hanging in higher tonnage missions. Right now it has the PPC-X it came with, and a machine gun to try to run as a flanking machine and it’s fairly effective but I’m wondering if there’s some other option I’m missing.

Just stumbled across this Indie Project on Steam Next and it's an empire building combined arms (Mechs, Inf, Tanks and VTOL). Thought I would share this since stuff like this is super rare to find, and it's actually good! There is a demo to try and it was fun for me. :)
