Mercs Titanium on Win7, some issues
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 10:29 pm
Hey, I got hit with the nostalgia bug, and wanted to play mercenaries again.
Long story short, 8 hours of fiddling later, I discovered MechVM, and I have Mercs Titanium edition running natively on Windows 7 with only a few minor issues.
Namely, there is video output corruption *sometimes* after switching from simulation mode to menu or video modes. This becomes reset if you open up any of the options windows, which is useful for menu modes, but videos are garbage once this starts happening (as you cant fix it without skipping the video). No idea what causes this.
Second, my MS Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick (the very one I played MW2 with when I was 14, on my old original pentium 3 with geforce 2 which I was so proud of), only 'mostly' works... the biggest issue that the throttle is reversed (moving it down accelerates, moving it up reduces speed)... any idea why this would happen?
