What settings do you use? It never worked. On any mission. Not once beginning to end.

Yeah mercs. I tried "just read it from the cd", emulate, ripping into the music folder Nothing.

Works properly. Only annoying thing is I can't figure out how to get CDaudio. Nothing I tried worked. Filename mercsfinish.png File size 285.25 KiB Views 1447 views File license Public domain

Your own guide literally says to copy the files directly from the CD. Which you implied works. How exactly are you changing the first byte of that file in that process?

fc is a windows command dating back to early DOS. It compares 2 files. If it says there are no differences, there are no differences.

I didn't copy dplay. I just copied the stock intaller's output. Didn't think that far ahead.

Send them the attached. It installs the pentium edition. If you can get it working, then we can bundle that too.

Does the 50fps work in DX? You might want to tell your mate on the dxwnd forums that the installer can probably be modded for the pentium edition. I might have a look at it later, but I guess I didn't really see the point when Titanium was the last and most complete release.

Right. Figured out dgvoodoo. Will have to check it properly tomorrow. Personally I don't see the cost/benefit of figuring out scripting ripping CD tracks to file/folders when an ISO does the trick. Mounting ISOs is even part of Windows now. Any idiot can figure that much out. The real quality of …

Well that'd be right. "Found" another "backup" Damn thing worked perfectly. Straight through the mission no worries. Looks like it was a corrupt file in my original backup.

I could write a .bat to call the PS1. Unfortunately MS just had to make it difficult to run PS scripts, but gave a stupidly easy way to call it from a bat and make it less secure anyway. Did you manage to get through that recon mission? Walk the waypoints? I managed to get through the other campaign …

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.

It freezes between the 2nd and 3rd waypoint of that mission. And I used my installer, so yes I did the patch.

Ah. That makes sense, I guess. I figured the FPS limiter would work on the cpu end, but I guess working on the DX end is usually the same thing. It didn't have single core by default. I'll have a crack at GBL with that set. If you could take a quick look at mercs that'd be appreciated. It's …

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. Now finished both clans of MW2 31cc. Not going to say it wasn't a bit buggy. There are a few, but there always were even on …
