Hey guys. I've been wanting to play the older Mechwarrior games and have been having issues getting them to work. Recently I found about a torrent that has all of the Mechwarrior games and their expansions in an easy to use installer. Here's a picture. Posted Image

I want to start with Mechwarrior 2 but I'm having issues getting it to run in window mode..

I have the box checked, but no matter what settings I change it runs in fullscreen. I'm using Windows 7 x64.

i've never even heard of this, this is intriguing!. I know some older games only run on newer systems when in windowed mode, I wonder if that has anything to do with why it is normally like that. Hmm.....interesting...............

You should look it up. It's pretty neat and everything is butter smooth. It's just MW2 that keeps going fullscreen and is a blurry mess on a high res monitor lol. I might just give up on it.

Is it possible to get a link to this? I have been wanting to replay MW3 for about three years now, Ive even been tempted to buy an older pc again just to play it.

Here you go: http://thepiratebay....rology_(Eng_Rus)_[RePack]_RG_Catalyst

All you need is torrent software to download the files. I use uTorrent as it's small in file size and easy to use. Once you have it installed, click "get this torrent" and it will download the files through the software to your computer. If the link gets removed I'll PM it to you.

You will need to get an additional fix to solve the...screen sticking...issue.

If it isn't included with that torrent at any rate. There is a fix, so don't worry if you get that issue. Bouncing APCs I don't believe was ever solved, since its due to new CPUs.
