Okay that annoying bug where you have to alt tab out then back in and hope your not dead from the 3-5 second delay. Also it seems like on the new update on the graphic card for us nvida users we get random things popping in and out on the screen.

I seem to have found a perm fix for now - have had 20 matches and not ran into the bug yet.

I still need to tweak with my set up, to see if all these changes work together or if one did all the work like I expect.

I suspect this one change is all you need so I will list it first.

FOR THIS TO WORK YOU NEED THE LATEST DIRECTX 11!!

edit the file systemoverride.cfg which can be found in the mech warrior game folder.

Change the 9 to 11 under directx. Notice it says not to alter this - so as always create a back up of the file just incase I had a random 20 games in a row with no errors and perfect load up time.

Don't ask me why, they have this game set to use directx 9 instead of 11, but it runs so much smoother with it on.

The other changes just incase one or more worked with this - I did these before I found out that this game was trying to use directx 9 which is 100000 years old now.

I changed the game to run as admin - duh
I changed the game to run as vista 64 SP 2 - It appears I can't get the game work with XP 2 - but XP SP 3 and foward seem to work.

I also changed the ingame graphics to match my default screen size as your card is set up always to run games the best in its native size.

I am going to drop the game running with admin and vista 64 and see if the errors return.

I have also noted that my computer isn't over heating as much either with running directx11 as it was before.

small print - this worked for me, not saying it will work for everyone, and changing your files is risky, do this at your own risk. and again please keep a back up of the file just incase - and you do need directx11 on your computer, which 99.9999999999 of you should already.

I have not tried yet to run with directx12.

Greetings,

Just a reminder, you did "sign" and agree with the EULA to specifically "Not to Do any of this".


DirectX 11 is on the way but there are still a few "coding" issue that are being corrected, then we see a new install with the updated functions available.


Just saying,

So...forcing dx11 works? How, if it's not implemented?
