Here, change your exec policy back, and try this from the same folder (attached) Okay this works very well. You can update your package, with the 50FPS cap applied to dgVoodoo2 profile. Plus you can change DxWnd frame limiter to 50 instead of 60; it will be beneficial to people who want to run on …

Fyi, If this thread is supporting a copyrighted game for download not sanctioned by whomever owns the rights then I'll have to close it. I am sure MechWarrior 2 is an abandonware, and "TEACHING HOW TO ACCESS ABANDONWARES" is illegal for Vogons. Since you used the term "thread" and not "last post", …

You can use dgVoodoo2 to restrict the FPS to 50, 45.... You have to right click on the dgVoodoo2 window pane, and some option will come up that will add the no of tabs in dgVoodoo2. In the GeneralExt tab you should have a frame limiter (I am not on my comp right now so I can't check the specifics). …

A possible dgVoodoo2 Frame limiter?

Is it possible to add a frame limiter to dgVoodoo2 for any custom FPS measure? We are testing a direct patch for MechWarrior 2 Titanium - 3Dfx, that were designed to run properly at 45 (or 50?) FPS. Currently the limit is being implemented through Nvidia Cpl but it is impossible to redistribute …

Ah, yeah. Powershell is like bash. It needs the .\ first. Just press "t" and then tab. Or, rightclick it and run Okay I got it. After doing as you said, I was told that execution of scripts is restricted, so I first checked my policy with Get-ExecutionPolicy Returns as restricted Then I changed it …

Try out my installer. Reason being: if we work together, we can have a proper, idiot-proof "install pack" of sorts. All I'd have to do is update the zip with your solution and we're done. Then, less time figuring out whether it's a user-didn't-follow-the-steps-correctly error, or an actual error. I …

This game fails to launch at all. There is a guide on PCGW that says dgVoodoo2 runs the game, the HW version having white textures while SW works properly; but I can't even run it. The game crashes after EA logo. Log attached.

Yet another update: I ran with MechVM version (installing Mercs Titanium) and Instant Action mission work there. Even that DLBS error post mission doesn't come up... I will need to figure how what is different in the release. In the CD release it doesn't work. I will see this part tomorrow... …

More updates: The hang at Contracts section is fixed using Compat/Limit RAM. Beware that using Limit RAM requires you to restart DxWnd, and so running a different app. There are other problems too it too, I reported it and nothing changed yet, so I will ask again sometime... For the briefing case, …

It freezes between the 2nd and 3rd waypoint of that mission Checking in an hour. I am currently analysing the game's stability on WIn98. I replaced the custom heap with the Win9x one but the Contacts menu still freezes sometimes as earlier...thus I am trying to verify I finished the mission (Nav …

If you could take a quick look at mercs that'd be appreciated. It's literally the first mission of the first contract in the list. It'd be nice to know why it's freezing there.

I'm only talking about titanium. I'm not sure the FPS limiter in dxwnd even works. I tried a few settings but it didn't seem to make a difference. Nvidia cpl at 50FPS worked.

Played through all of Jade Falcon with no issues. Well, one issue. The framerate cap in the dxwnd fixes didn't work, so the jumpjets wouldn't recharge. Nvidia control panel's did. 45fps is the number from memory. Set that and it worked. Did setting 45fps work? I calculated a frametime delta on …
