Hopefully someone (teleguy?) is still following this thread.
Loved Mechwarrior. Adored it. So, wanting to fire up MW3 again, installed c/w the 1.2 patch. Runs ok, although there was some form of artifacting at the top of the screen (a light or white effect, and some tearing?). Tried Win98 and XP compatibillity modes, which didn't fix it. I'd also see the AMD Crossfire logo
Then discovered this topic.
So, I have downloaded the latest version of the mod from the top of page 1, and the launcher from teleguy's post 22-12-2016.
Neither seem to work; my video options are still limited to those that shipped (640x800, 800x600, 1024x768).
Evidently am doing something wrong. I copied the contents of the 16:9 directory (zbd to the game \zbd folder, and the two .exe files to the game base folder. Doesn't matter whether I click on mech.exe or mechwarrior 3 launcher.exe, I only have the 3 default resolutions. And still the screen artifacting issue
Installed dgvoodoo2 into the base directory. When I launch MW3, I DO see the dgvoodoo logo, and the artifacts at top of screen have gone (yay!), but still only the three default screen resolutions. Crossfire logo has gone though 😀
So, what am I doing wrong - or can someone give me a step-by-step guide to using the hires mod?
