HG1 and GBL has some "negative thread" error. You might run into it sometime

Looked into this, shouldn't affect my ports as they rebuild the engine vs just converting it over via hacks to play on newer OSes..

The attachment Text on cutscenes.jpg is no longer available

Should be fixed on 1.1.16, may take a few minutes for the Github build to finish.

Edit: To clarify, I'm not poo poo'ing the existing ways to make the original game work on newer PCs.

Does Mercs have the dynamic salvage update or is it the base scripted salvage version?

It'll be whatever was in the original version. Edit: It does take cues from the Windows version.. so it might have the dynamic? I haven't play-tested yet.

It seems only the Win 95 version of Mercs patched to v1.1 and the Titanium edition support dynamic salvage. It's a shame DOS doesn't, as being able to leg a mech and salvage it almost complete was great fun, as opposed to just getting a pre-scripted set of salvage. It also made the economy in Merc Commander a lot more interesting.

I'll add dynamic in. Should be on the next build.

Can you give me more details here?

It often happens when you launch the mission during the video mode transition. I think I got it to happen more with Single core affinity, but that's the extent my memory goes

Just one thing, Dynamic Salvage breaks some scripted salvage rewards, the big one being the ancient star league cache.
