Like quite a few on this forum i had problems running the original Mechwarrior games discs on win Installing itself was not a problem, it would happen after pressing the games icons in desktop. Just follow a previous instruction from a post below: I'll repeat here. Download Met Tek Version. Unzip the file to chosen drive should come up automatically C:MW4mercs Just one problem least for me it won't run from the shortcut, there's an error that says: "missing language Dll" i have to keep opening the game from the exe.
Hope this helps. I followed an easy guide youtube video and downloaded all the Mech4 games and set them up properly with Voodoo support and both Mech4 Vengeance and Black Knight work perfectly but for some reason Mech4 Mercs still says it needs a disk 2. Can someone help me find a way to bypass it? I would like a response on this issue because I really want to play with the new toys. Viertue -2 points. I want to download the big image ISO files.

I may not be waiting long enough. Sometimes when I click a few times with my mouse, an animated mouse cursor for the game appears on the black screen. I try to select the option to go full screen, but then, it crashes to black screen again, and I get: Fatal Error Nested exception - Cause: EnterWindowMode. Nuttawet -2 points.
I did all those methods, still doesn't work, same problems. Maybe make new patch or new update for this game? The main menu will look fine, but once you start a mission, like training, the screen has a black bar on top, and hitting ESC has the menu shoved down in the lower right corner..

I had issues running my original copy on windows 10, it did not matter what I did to the installed EXE file it just crashed on start, using the no CD-fix apparently worked for me.
You basically just replace the original "MW4Mercs. Do note that I already had DirectPlay enabled, I did not need to start it as administrator, and I had run the auto-config tool prior to launching it. I think that as a kid I played through the game three times, but it seems like I've always taken the Davion path, this time I'm going Steiner and I'm playing missions that I don't even remember, so there was something to come back to. RoboMunky -3 points. The game doesn't work.
It won't run without it, apparently. It seems the download doesn't include this important piece, rendering the game unplayable. RoboMunky -9 points.

How do I fix. Diablo A Wolff -2 points. I've played this game for many years using the original disc. The disc has developed reading problems that cannot be repaired. I suspect scratches or nicks in the disk. What I have noticed from several attempts to download the game from various websites is the executable file has a virus Trojan. Gen2 that has been there for over nine years.
Most of the virus catchers will catch it and allow it to be exempted. Windows 10 version does not allow it, and deletes it entirely. Even the. I'm hoping the files from this website are clean and playable. The buggiest downloads were from Clan Coyote's downloads.

Right click MW4Mercs. Lentulus Batiatus 3 points. Some notes: -Mektek version gives you tons more mechs and includes the original content with minimal modifications and slightly better performance.
By far the version to grab. Heck, you could run it straight off a USB stick and carry that around I've found that any bugs with this game are variable based on what other contents you have on your system, such as driver quirks or other programs.

Please make it compatible with the newer platforms. Y'all will make tons of money and we will have an awesome game to speed throughout the web.

When I install it, both virtual disks dont work, no app is selected to open it, you know, when the icon is a white page. Martial law is in place on many worlds, and with frontline forces caught up in the civil war, planetary governors and industrial concerns have begun to hire mercenaries for security.
Merc Alley - Jonathan Thayer , the pro-Skye governor of Eaton, has hired Spectre to destroy a Lyran loyalist convoy moving supplies across the desert west of the capital. Once victorious, Spectre salvages what his troops can carry and has the rest thermite-bombed. Merc Alley B - The Katrina-loyalists continue to use Barlow Gap to move supplies, but their convoys are larger and better protected.
Spectre leads another raid on a convoy, but walks into a loyalist ambush. The mercenaries break contact and inform the governor that Barlow Gap is no longer a viable target. Bandit Hideaway - Free Skye has identified several enemy base locations southwest of the capital, and the governor orders Spectre to take one out with a night strike.
Despite unexpectedly heavy aerospace attacks, Spectre's force knocks out a major loyalist base. Governor's Mansion - Spectre's force is assigned to guard the mansion where the governor has sent his family for safety. Lyran loyalists attack, seeking hostages, but Spectre's forces destroy them, earning the personal gratitude of the governor and his family. Revolution - Governor Thayer hires Spectre to support Skye separatist forces battling loyalists in the St.
Andes Mountains west of the capital. The fighting breaks the Loyalists, ending the fighting on Eaton. Dates: The setup states that the Gray Death Legion recently finished a very costly campaign to keep the facilities in Lyran hands. Escort - Spectre takes a contract to defend a Defiance Industries munitions convoy traveling on the highway between the factory and the spaceport, guarding it against attacks by Skye separatist guerrillas.
The guerrillas blow the main bridge, forcing the convoy to take a dangerous detour. Spectre and Castle discuss the irony of having recently fought on the separatists' side on Eaton. Spectre's force destroys the base's communications station, radar, barracks, and Hrothgar DropShip.
The proving grounds garrison commander, Warbler, defends the north side of the complex, assigning Spectre's force to cover the southern approach. They identify the attackers as elements of the "Fourth Davion Heavy Guards. Per canon, the attackers were the Fourth Skye Rangers , in any event. Two Hrothgar-class DropShips land to offload more attacking forces, but Spectre leads a sortie to their landing zone to destroy the ships before they can deploy their troops.
Warbler recommends a triple pay bonus to the Defiance Industries board of directors, and gives Spectre a Fafnir. Defiance Industries blacklists Spectre after this mission. Stealth - The separatists hire Spectre to infiltrate the Von Straub Proving Grounds and scan the facilities there for intel.
Spectre extracts before the proving ground defenders return. The guerrillas support the attack with limited air assets, while Davion commandos infiltrate the grounds and raid the main research database.
After the operation, Spectre's unit is blacklisted by the Lyran Alliance, which pledges to seek revenge after Katrina wins the war. The player cannot take any missions on Tikonov , but in-game news reports update the progress of the fighting there. Per canon, this took place in late May, Tikonov Falls to Prince's War Machine - Victor's forces take control of Tikonov after destroying the First Tikonov Republican Guard and allowing Katrina's forces to withdraw from the system under the terms of a ceasefire.
Per canon, this takes place in late July, Dates: While the in-game campaign has the player going directly from Overlord to Resupply and Checkmate in a matter of weeks to fit the compressed time-scale of the game, per canon the initial landings Overlord take place in August , while the Resupply mission corresponds with actions in January , and Checkmate takes place on April 2, Per canon, this took place in August Overlord - A week before the Kell Hounds land, Peter Steiner-Davion hires Spectre to support the his personal troops' attack on Nondi Steiner's positions in the sector.
Spectre initially serves as a decoy force to allow Peter's troops to make a flanking attack, and then his troops assault a grounded Overlord -class DropShip. Per canon, the Kell Hounds landed on August 26, , so this would take place on August Tharkad Besieged - News reports indicate that a multi-unit task force of regular military and mercenary commands has made planetfall on Tharkad, including the Kell Hounds and elements of Phelan Kell 's Clan Wolf-in-Exile.
MercNet names Spectre one of its "Commanders to Watch. Resupply - Spectre's unit escorts a supply convoy to a landing zone where DropShips carrying Lt. Colonel Scott Bradley 's Second Kell Hounds Regiment will be landing, following heavy action in the southern hemisphere.
Hostile 'Mechs attack the DropShips as they land, destroying one and crippling another. One of the DropShip captains is Dashka, whom Spectre had met previously. Once resupplied, the Kell Hounds redeploy northeast of Tharkad City. Per canon, this would have taken place several months into the campaign, perhaps around January, , when encirclement of the capital began.
Spectre's force eliminates an airbase and protects Peter. When Peter and Nondi face each other, she refuses his demand that she surrender. Colonel Bryce yields and orders all Lyran Guard units to power down and surrender.
Afterwards, Spectre takes a long-term security detail contract with Archon Peter. Per canon, the final battle took place on April 2, Dates: The FedCom Civil War sourcebook indicates Katrina began recalling units to defend New Avalon in "as April approached," making it likely that the parade and speech are on March 17, , when New Avalon celebrates Grain Rebellion Day - a major holiday well suited for both parades and speeches.
The player's missions appear to happen very shortly after Katrina's arrest, most likely in late April, Per canon, they arrived in March Per canon, they arrived in late March, Per canon, the Second and Third Rangers battled on July 5, New Avalon Liberated - Katrina Steiner orders her forces to surrender, and is taken into custody by Victor's allied coalition.
Victor reinstates his sister Yvonne as regent. No decision on Katrina's fate has been announced. Per canon, Katrina surrendered on April 20, Spaceport - Katrina-loyalist Rabid Fox agents hire Spectre's unit to infiltrate New Avalon and support their efforts to rescue Katrina. The unit's attempt at stealth fails, and they are forced to fight their way clear of the spaceport.
Mechlab with tons of mechs and weapon systems, good online and a challenging It's a hell of a game to play online and it's free nowadays! Mechlab with tons of mechs and weapon systems, good online and a challenging campaign when you play in the Elite difficulty. It's a very good game im on dial up and its great online!!!!! I've just recently revisited this old gem, it was good part of my childhood which is why I took some time in my holidays to play it again, and I've just recently revisited this old gem, it was good part of my childhood which is why I took some time in my holidays to play it again, and there was still more to discover, since as I kid I didn't realize there was such a thing as branching missions and I didn't read any of the in-game news articles that could give me clues as to what the different progression paths were.
Somehow even though I replayed it multiple times it seems like I took the same path every time. Now I do actually feel in touch with the story and reading every single news article in the game. Furthermore, I'm not sure whether the reason that I took a different progression path this time is because i've changed as a person or if it was just because I actually read the damn text, a mixture of both I suppose.
At all times you feel like you're truly a leader of a mercenary company, for me a lot of that can be attributed to the fully voiced missions, briefings and debriefings and the choices you have to make throughout. The wide variety of mech-types and the ability to comprehensively customize them, most of the characters that are voiced in the missions also sounds like they're really into their role.
Unfortunately the vast majority of your crew only has two recorded voice lines, namely their death line and their reporting for duty line, but even those has a lot of character attached to them.
A big plus is also that the ambient music and sounds in the game are amazing, when you're not deployed in a mission it feels like you're in the midst of a command centre and listening to previously recorded mission audio logs, it can get repetitive though if you are having a hard time completing the game. When you are deployed in a mission the the mech speaks to you in an appropriately computer sounding voice about systems status weapons, temperature, damage control and so on , and the weapons sounds authentic.
The large variety of weapons and combat styles makes the combat experience in the game very satisfactory. Feels good when you land that perfect hit and then seeing your enemy's mech explode with blue light like you've destabilized a fusion reactor. Story-wise the game seems like it has two moralities or two ways of life, that it is putting head to head against each other, on one hand honor and morality with feudal duty, and on the other hand opportunism and greed, depending on what type of person you are and exactly what progression path you took you will see which one you thought the game was best at selling to you, I think no matter what you do you will find that in the end your choices are meaningless in the context of the grand scale of existence.
All the storylines ends with a cliffhanger, but a successor to this game is actually being released this year, I found that out when trying to fix this game to run on Windows Perhaps the successor game will pick-up where this game decided to end it's story. As a final note I want to point out that for some reason every game that has got a mix of metal or hard rock if you prefer and electronic in their soundtrack somehow just sticks with me, does anyone feel me there?
Anyway, the soundtrack of this game is not one of the game soundtracks that I've put on my playlist, but it does fit the game quite well. Quite possibly the second greatest Mech game of all time. MechLab interface is as beautiful as Quite possibly the second greatest Mech game of all time.
