I am a somewhat new member to the DOSBox Community, so excuse me if I make any errors. I torrented MechWarrior 2, which was one of my favorite childhood games. I was successful in mounting it via shortcut, but I noticed that many visuals are missing. These include things that pop up when you hover your mouse over it (i.e. holograms) and the visual of the mech when in Mech Customization. I really wish I could fix this, but I found no luck on google. If you could help me, I would be much obliged.

Tanner is right....

But I can answer this. Mw2 was often bundled as a special version with one of the emerging 3d cards. As dosbox doesn't emulate those you are playing plain vanilla non3denhanced version
