My MC2 was installed using the above method - a lot of patience and retries were involved until I found a suitable compatibility - I think for my win7 64bit, I used either: Keep in mind both programs went public last year or earlier so people can modify them as much as they wishĪgreed with all of the above - disabling desktop composition is a must when running Mechcommander Gold, Mechcommander 2, and possibly the MW4 series (which I've not played in a while).

Sadly it does not contain black knight but it does not mean some one is not already working on addition to the mw4 mod to include it.

On side note i came across a page while back describing how to install and run MS VM on Linux and IOS dont remember where but instructions were easy enough and they do seem to work for those that followed them.Īnother solution for mechcommander 2 is to get custom jobs by wolfman-x and omni mech project which is listed in earlier threads can be found on mod data base site and they do make reference to site here.Īs for MW4 mods and fan based updates are available on line and one is also available at same place as omni mech project. i cannot stress this enough FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS on installation of this program and how to run it.

make sure to down load the version that is compatible with your OS such as 32 bit or 64 bit. This solution requires a bit of work but it can fix most problems install MS VM (follow link above)which will let you run the games and install them in native windows environment. It seems that at most the games only go that high on their own build in resolution. (if that does not work try different compatibility settings by trial and error)Īlso disable desktop composition and scaling or last 2 boxes in compatibility tab on the bottom either one or bothĪnother solution is to adjust your screen resolution to much lower say 1024X or less (find out trial and error which will work best)Īfter install run exe game start files in same compatibility you use to install the games Run installers in compatibility mode for either windows 98 or windows 2k or sp2 or 3 for both games ( I STRESS READ INSTRUCTIONS!)īefore you try installing the MS VM machine try solutions listed first OK best solution? it seems to work for most is to run it in microsoft virtual machine There has got to be someone with a solution to one of these game's problems viewing this forum at some point, with similar hardware/software and if they can give the intel needed it would be greatly appreciated. Mercs is a Fafnir obliterating an Owens.)įinally a small black window loads and then vanishes with absolutely no clue as to why that is the case. MW4 Vengeance is the Uziel charging by a snow plow. (For reference: Mechcommander 2 is the Blood Asp leading the charge with an Atlas, Bushwacker, etc. I select play then am sent to the big name screen. Next comes the main screen to register, uninstall, and play.
The typical things i experience with all the games I have listed are they download like normal, the cool music, loading bar, history. It is an Alienware (yes, I know I paid half the price for the cosmetic look). This is my system for a starting reference point:

The compatibility options make no difference in either case because none of the XP service packs, windows 2000, or any other compatibility options fix the issues and if anything does change all that happens is a BS, feel-good "checking for solutions" and "reporting to micro$oft" or a random code that gives no information as to what the issue is.Īs for MechCommander 2 specifically deleting the two files (badcard and vidcard) has done nothing even combined with other compatibility settings, including XP pack 3.

There are tons of posts where people say they do run the games on Windows 7 yet give no helpful comment whatsoever, which I am starting to believe are trolls who are full of ****. What I am requesting is input from someone who has run both games and even MW4 Vengeance and Black Knight on Windows 7. I have also found multiple links to MechCommander 2 downloads which also have not worked (even the one from micro$oft). Many times I have found links to websites for the free Mercs download (which NEVER work and even crashed my computer last year).
Hello, I have seen this topic appear multiple times with no solid answer and quite frankly I am extremely irritated at the lack of support or patches from Micro$oft to keep their products running on their equipment.
