Ever since I watched vetz's video on the subject I've wanted to try out the 3D card specific versions of MechWarrior 2. The texture/model differences between each version are very interesting and they both give each version an unique atmosphere. I do want a PowerVR card one day so I could try out what is probably the definitive version of the game.
I have a Voodoo 2 8MB and a Matrox Mystique and have gotten both working with their respective versions of Mech2, but I am having some issues specific to each.
3DFX - The game freezes on the F3 satellite view screen if you zoom out beyond 500 meters or zoom in beyond 125 meters.
Mystique - Everything works, except for exiting/quitting a mission. Instead of taking you back to the menu with your results, the game exits to the desktop.
I am using the conversion files that are stickied on the Windows forum. The 3DFX issues may have something to do with me using a Voodoo2, but I am running the game using the V2 compatibility batch file here.
