I have a problem. I installed it on my win xp pc cuz it probably had some compatibility issues on my w10 pc and the game ran smoothly but in the campaign the enemy mech was walking underground, shooting me , the apcs were bouncing around like stupid. and the screen kept flickering white approx. every 15 sec even outside missions. instant action worked well but still kept flickering. the tutorial I tried once but I couldn′t quit the mission in the end for some reason , I haven′t tried to run the tutorial again but I don′t need training cuz im used to MW games. also I have the patch installed but the fix I couldn′t install cuz some error always kept popping up. I used the ISO installation
For those of you missing MSVCP50.dll, you can find a clean copy of it (I just ripped it, myself, from an XP installer disc) here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ioszyzd87dgxz1a/AAB8UjPZyPAzg-SQiEMR5L6Fa?dl=1 Copy that to your installation folder. If you play more games from the 90s that use that dll, you can place it in Windowssystem32. If Op 1 M2′s turret isn′t spawning, force enable v-sync and make sure you have your frame rate limited to 30 FPS (with RivaTuner or EVGA PrecisionX or.. whatever your preference is).
Greetings. I've been trying for a few months now to get MechWarrior 3 working on Windows 7 to no avail, but I finally found/sort of made a solution that works with my i7 and dual 770s. This fixes physics and most rubberbanding issues.
(NEW METHOD, MINOR APC BOUNCING, NO RUBBERBANDING, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS) !IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOUR SETTINGS MATCH THIS (resolution does not matter) OR THE GAME MAY BE UNPLAYABLE! http://puu.sh/gnsgm/00e0cd5291.jpg (DirectDraw HAL MUST be select as it is the DirectDraw emulator for WineD3D) 2: Let it finish downloading, but do NOT install it. Open it with 7zip and go into the directory '$SYSDIR' from inside the archive. 3: Copy every file ending in .DLL from that folder into your MechWarrior 3 install folder. 3.5 (Extra Nvidia Step): Go to your Nvidia Control Panel, Manage 3D settings, and go to Mech Warrior 3 (Mech3.exe), and change Threaded Optimization to Off. 4: Download ImageCFG. 5: Open a new explorer window, and in the directory bar, put this in: '%systemroot%system32' without quotes 6: Place ImageCFG in there. 7: Open up a Command Prompt window (you may need to run as admin) and input this (WITH quotes): imagecfg -a 0x1'[MECHWARRIOR3DIRECTORY]Mech3.exe' Replace '[MECHWARRIOR3DIRECTORY] with the installation path of the game. 8: You're done! You may optionally want to get a program to limit the games framerate, but I found it runs stunningly well at 60FPS. Can't believe it was this simple to fix the game, and I spent 3 months on this! :3 (ALTERNATE METHOD, USE THIS IF THE PREVIOUS ONE DOES NOT WORK) (I'm not sure if this bit is required. Feel free to try the game without it, but I'm using it with no issues.) 1: Get dgVoodoo, the latest version. Most earlier versions are missing the D3D wrapper we need. 2: Put the dgVoodooSetup.exe, D3DImm.dll, and DDraw.dll files in your MechWarrior 3 directory. 3: Run dgVoodooSetup.exe and match your DirectX settings to this. 4: Open up MechWarrior 3 and set your Video Device to dgVoodoo, and your Video Memory to 2MB. (Required bits now.) 1: Get some sort of FPS limiter (Most recording software has this, there are also dedicated programs. I recommend Bandicam) 2: Set it to 20 frames per second. 3: Start Mechwarrior 3. The game MIGHT work now. If it doesn't, proceed onward. 4: Close MechWarrior 3 and download CPU Grabber (set to run on one CPU). Mechwarrior 3 Windows 7 Download Free5: Put it where you have MechWarrior 3 installed and run it.5.5 (Extra Nvidia Step): Go to your Nvidia Control Panel, Manage 3D settings, and go to Mech Warrior 3 (Mech3.exe), and change Threaded Optimization to Off. 6: Download ImageCFG and put it in your MechWarrior 3 directory. 7: Open up a Command Prompt window and navigate to where you installed MechWarrior 3. 8: Type this into the window: imagecfg mech3.exe -a 0x1 - and press enter. 9: Set CPU Grabber to 85% for i5/i7s. You may need to toy around with lower values if you have a weaker CPU or want to record the game. Mechwarrior 3 Windows 7 Download Version10: You should be good to go. I finished the first mission with no bouncing APCs or any of that crap. Side notes for both methods: The game seemingly freezes during loading screens when loading some maps. But WAIT! IT'S NOT ACTUALLY FROZEN! Press Crtl + Alt + Del and go to Switch User. Once your monitor is done finishing resolutions, click on your user again. The map will be fully loaded. Wait 5 seconds in the Switch User screen to prevent any issues like below. Windows 8/8.1 users: Mr.Blade wrote:As mentioned in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=42552
I also noticed that the FPS limiter, for example in MechWarrior 3, can be deactivated by pressing Alt + Tab and (instantly) switching back into the game. Unfortunately, the HUD and mouse positioning is messed up then. Weird.
The game sometimes runs in a small window after switching users. No fix for that as far as I'm aware, I guess just get really close to your monitor? If you're recording for a review or something, you can crop the video later I presume. Running the game in 1024x768 seems to cause a small delay with the game when it loads. This may require alt-tabbing out in some way and then going back in. The framerate also turns in to a 'silky smooth' 37 FPS. :P For some reason, some missions seem to have rubberbanding. It's not like it was before, but it's a bit noticable. Buuuuut, the physics are working fine. You can probably just limit the game to 30FPS and it'll be almost totally gone. Description
I download the 119mb file and nothing happens, doesn′t go to my C drive, no compressed file to extract what gives? I was able to download the 119mb version of MechCommander with no issue, however music and video files are missing, is the 500mb more complete?
i miss the nostalgic days of MW3 and pirates moon add on This site is great! This is the third game I′ve downloaded and successfully installed from here on my Windows 7 PC. I′m running it in XP compatibility mode. I remember the fuss people made about Mechwarrior games when they first came out. I didn′t try them out back then but now I′m making up for lost time. Here′s how you fix bouncing MFBs, graphic glitches, jump jet bugs, etc. https://www.reddit.com/r/mechwarrior/comments/504h3z/stonewalls_tips_to_fixing_bouncing_apcshd_gaming/ TLDR: cap your frames to 30, don′t use a No CD patch, don′t use compat mode Haven′t played this one in a long time. Mechwarrior (1) I just got and would need to learn the controls before saying what I think. Number 2 and 4 I haven′t played yet. As for MWO as long as you don′t mind having horrible teams for about 90% of the pug games its a good game but its frustrating to try and buy a new mech or improve the skill on the ones you have if after you get a good score your team loses cutting your gain in half.
