I recorded myself playing through the first two Clan Wolf missions with a cellphone (as its hard to record it with any software) as you can see even in 1080p Glide it's running close to flawlessly with no memory leaks. CD Audio is disabled on purpose as i like to listen to podcasts while playing.

With zero changes to the installer, and only the 3 dxwnd files Been posted, Mercs got through the mission that previously leaked to hell.

I guess it's up to others to test now.

Scratch that. Clearly I need more settings.

Added admiralsenn's ini.

Lasted 20+ minutes in a mission that consistently glitched - and was using around 100mb of ram.

I think this one's probably a winner.

Yes, i originally tried just adding the 3 files from dxwnd but the problem persisted, only once i loaded admiralsenn's ini file directly the memory leak was fixed. I've now played through the entire Jade Falcon and Wolf campaign without a single crash, only some minor annoying bugs that were present from release.

Ok thanks Myne, Been and Admiralsenn.... will try to test it.

Challenge for anyone bored enough:
Figure out how to get BOTH the 'windows' resolution AND the game resolution to 4:3.
I can get one or the other, but never both.
It doesn't really bug me personally too much with the mild stretch, but y'know... for 'perfection's' sake.
When dxwnd works, dgvoodoo spazzes out.
When dgvoodoo works, dxwnd doesn't.

Other than your installer edit, you are using an older version of the changes. I added BP support and desktop scaling in my prev version. I will update that

This should be enough:

Not seeing any changes.
Where/what did you change?

Ok so far the installer eliminate the memory leak on MechWarrior 2 Mercenaries Titanium and Ghost Bear's Legacy Titanium as I was experiencing before.

BTW I'm playing those games on my old laptop:
-Windows 8.1
-Intel Celeron N2840 (2.1Ghz up to 2.58Ghz)
-Intel HD Graphics
-8GB DDR3 RAM

Smooth framerate.... sometimes minimal & brief FPS drop, usually during close range explosion + missile smoke trails.

Other than a few text changes, no longer forcing Desktop level scaling, not forcing the aspect ration, not forcing 32 bit initial colours, etc at the least

So... How does that achieve 4:3?

It is possible the frame rate can be slightly improved, but DxWnd frame limiter works on WaitForFrequency tactic which isn't as steady as WaitForVerticalBlank. However I haven't played MW2 on a similarly fast computer so I can't answer these claims

Game is 4:3 by default

Colour emulation=whatever game asks for an aspect ratio/resolution
Desktop (previous)=forces the game to stretch to match the Desktop

Again. How does that achieve 4:3?
That's what I was asking about and you responded to.

Colour emulation setting allows the game to set the resolution and aspect ratio it asks for. The game asks for 4:3.

Also to add colour emulation is a form of fake fullscreen. So the game can be set up for recording.

For the soundtrack of each game (Mech 2, GBL and Merc) in Titanium Trilogy, I ripped those BGM from their respective previous non-Titanium version. So I have the original, full and complete soundtrack of each game (in ogg format).

Yes that even works, I prefer using those audio as well since it gets the best out of two games
