Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **on:** March 31, 2010, 11:22:56 PM »

Well I've got mechwarrior 3 up and running now, So here we discuss what were gonna do, how were gonna do it.

I only know of Hamachi different clients was recommended in another thread.

Also probably gonna have to match version numbers. Ive just got plain version 1 i think but I have a patch for 1.2, if it proves neccesary. however its working as I installed it, so If I dont need to patch it, I wont bother lol.

Post here if your interested!

Goddammit, after seeing 3 mentioned a few times I thought you'd had it, I'd somehow missed where you said you had 4 and not 3 :/ gah!

I've only got 3 on me at the moment :V

Got 3 finally working correctly. Hopefully tomorrow we can find a good time to play.

I've got MW3 on a CD somewhere here. Always prefered MW4 though

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #5 on:** April 02, 2010, 02:13:02 PM »

I can probably get hold of MW4 at some point, But always felt MW4 was lacking somewhere compared to 3, I dont know why. Also I dont know how well it'll run for everyone, my computers quite the shitter :V

I've got MW3 up and running, and I've got Hamachi installed and operational.

Alright axman we'll give it a shot tonight!

Doomsday93 be good to see another player if you can stand playing the older version lol.

Once again any recommendations of another network client if there is one with better features, especially inclusion of voice over - as my computers far too crap to run skype or msn at the same time as playing a game unfortunately.

Everyone knows its all about MW: Living Legends.

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #7 on:** April 02, 2010, 02:16:57 PM »

Buy me a new computer or a fishtank of liquid nitrogen to immerse my computer in, then we'll talk :V

axman36 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 02, 2010, 09:12:01 PM »

I'm not really doing anything now if im honest lol. Half tempted to start MW3 just for 1 player as it is :V

so anytime tonight now.

HakureiSM · « **Reply #10 on:** April 03, 2010, 04:24:36 PM »

So yeah, I never even played MW4;

I'll see if I can free up some disc space around here and get my copy of MW3 to run.

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #11 on:** April 03, 2010, 06:00:04 PM »

cool :]

Imagine if its on tonight It'll probably be starting at 11 gmt, or 4 hours time. I think thats roughly when we got started yesterday, If Axmans up for another go.

axman36 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 03, 2010, 06:01:52 PM »

Definitely. I'll be ready at that time.

Doomsday · « **Reply #13 on:** April 03, 2010, 09:15:47 PM »

If we're starting at 11pm, then I'll be there. All lights are green here

HakureiSM · « **Reply #14 on:** April 03, 2010, 09:23:22 PM »

That's a good time, and if my computer decides to stop being a whore by then and I haven't left for cinema, I'll be there. I think.

I'm having some compatibility issues. :s
halp

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #15 on:** April 03, 2010, 09:29:30 PM »

Hmm I didn't suffer any issues here suprisingly, Windows 7 pro and its not even running in compatability mode.

Whats going wrong? Axman might be of more use here as hes had some issues too I think.

HakureiSM · « **Reply #16 on:** April 03, 2010, 09:38:44 PM »

Intro doesn't load. Meh I can live without that.
Then my joystick's kinda messed up, and the game's not reacting with force feedback like it did, but I kinda know how to fix that.

In-game it runs perfectly, except the little models for my mech and the target right and left of the screen don't appear properly.
It occasionally crashes for absolutely no reason, including fucking up with the whole Windows and I have to force the PC to shutdown.

D:

Btw, about the joystick part,

if anyone can find me a place to download
the bloody ForceFeedback 2 software I'd be immensely grateful.
I lost my disk containing it(as in, by brother fucking stole it and I'll never see it again), and I've looked all over the internet for many times and still can't find it.

You mean this?

Dunno if its exactly what your after, surely can't be as it took two seconds to find :V

HakureiSM · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2010, 09:58:09 PM »

You dick >:C

It is, but it doesn't work D:

Anyway, thanks.

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2010, 10:04:47 PM »

I dont get the intro vid either unfortunately so your not the only one with that issue.

I'm good running kb and mouse myself. I could try controller, but I haven't practiced with one in MW3... ever.

And its 11pm... all aboard the Hamachi network!

axman36 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 03, 2010, 10:11:49 PM »

I got the intro vid without much problems.

Though the whole crashing thing well makes up for that benefit.

HakureiSM · « **Reply #21 on:** April 03, 2010, 10:17:00 PM »

I might have solved the joystick issue.

Get in the damn network already so we can be sure there are no issues with that :V

Doomsday · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:31:39 PM »

damn crashes kicking me out 5 minutes into the game :ohdear:

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #24 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:56:43 PM »

Kill yoink! :]

Also lol my turn to be beaten by physics. curses!

axman36 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 04, 2010, 12:30:13 AM »

Crashes are quite random I must say.

ceiling hat · « **Reply #26 on:** April 04, 2010, 07:43:25 PM »

The crashing problem happens when you fly over a mech or crash into them, right? I bet your jump jets don't let you get off the ground, and your feet might even get stuck if you move at a high speed.

There's a bunch of stuff to try, I can't remember all of it. Dig around here http://www.mechwarrior3.org/wforum/viewforum.php?f=57

I recall something about trying to put more load on your video card by turning all the settings up, using really old drivers (like 2004 or earlier), and a "resolution patch" of some kind. You better upgrade to 1.2 if you haven't already, too.

Peregren's first post in this page has the download link for the resolution patch thing http://www.mechwarrior3.org/wforum/viewtopic.php?t=4217 Unfortunately, you have to register and log in to get it.

axman36 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 04, 2010, 08:00:49 PM »

Thanks! Now that I figured out what crashed me on each loading screen (Another program I was running conflicted with it apparently, I didn't need it running anyway) we can probably play without as much risk.

Though I'm still trying to figure out what crashed Doomsday on our first match...

Doomsday · « **Reply #28 on:** April 04, 2010, 09:31:50 PM »

Yeah. I'm still not sure what crashed me then. I'm gonna try installing a different verison of MW3 I have and see if it runs any better (I doubt it would make a difference, but it wouldn't hurt to try)

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #29 on:** April 04, 2010, 09:37:45 PM »

Glad to see were getting some progress here. Haven't got around to researching any alternative network clients though.

So link up at 11 again i guess?
