Looked hopeful so I thought I'd give this Mech2 installer 'fix' a try but no joy. What exact version of MW2 31st 3dfx does one need? On Win10 I'm trying to install the MW2 31st 3dfx version. I don't even have a Q: drive. The script does not find either 3dfx mounted images I have properly, it shows: …

I'm unable to continue my Mechwarrior 2 gameplay because it is glitching out on me immediately after loading the mission. My mech gets thrown into the air and the level automatically fails before I am able to do anything. I'm relatively sure this is due to the 280fps making the physics all goofy …

I said this on the previous MW2 thread, its necroing but its necessary Mech2 and all of its versions doesnt work on WIn10 for the same reasons of why I76 and Heavg Gear some time ago. And its the MW2SHELL.DLL it needs to be hacked and updated to work on modern machines, http://www.zeus-software.com …

Wow! This sounds like excellent work and news! Besides Mech2, this is on my 'to replay list' but in the recent past, I always seemed to run into some glitch or another that would prevent fully and proper play execution of gameplay or graphics. Thanks a million for your efforts and I'm anxious to try …

I've done it the original, true way once already back in the day. So, if possible, give me an old game with modern bell's and whistles please. Going even beyond, give me the near exact same game but vastly updated - great example, Overload vs Descent

I never knew one could install winXP or Vista inside of DOSBox to run games. Previously and with great success, I've only used DOSBox to run Dos games. I've tried most other virtual machines to run 3dfx or D3D games and they have proven either glitchy or too slow or both. I'll end up trying it …

The new security *fixes* for Windows 10 were also backported to Windows Vista and Seven and then silently, automagically installed via Windows Update.. Nice isn't it ? MS really cares for the users. They try to make sure even users of prioer OSes get an equally good experience whenever possible. :) …

Yup, Vista supporting DX11 was very nice at the time; it's why I skipped over buying win7 and went directly to win10 instead. FWIW, my main motivation for reinstalling Vista is for my games that can't get around StarForce and to run all Mechwarrior2/3 engine games with minimally needed workarounds. …

Thanks, Auzner. This thread indeed shows many pics of both shaders at work. Both very close but I agree xBR does appear better. I'd try xBR but I'm not sure how to implement it as the needed .fx file for Dosbox. I don't see a .fx file for download anywhere?
