*EDIT* Just to put a bit of nub-info out there, because it would have helped me save 5 minutes; Once you follow the instructions on there, the MTX installer might prompt you to D/L the .net 3.5 framework from the Microsoft site.
I had to do this just now, and once it's done you a re-run the MTX installer & it will continue just fine.
The mtx client looks like some kind of bit-torrent based client & I'm getting about a good a D/L speed as possible given my connection, very nice!

Hey Mullet Steve and Big Jim
I have posted a request for Founders that want to get ready for the Aug 7 insertion. When you get mek tek downloaded if you have problems let me know.
The best practice would be to build the founders mechs with the correct # of heat sinks and dump the flush as soon as the game drops. That way it would be very close to mwo 3048. I can put up a practice server on MekTek any time.
And yes BigJim Mechwarrior free doesnt work with the retail game.
When you all get it installed and updated if the multplayer starts in Davion you will not see many or any servers. US is Kurita and I can tell you how to change that in the regedit because the mektek servers button doesnt work. You want to use the connect button.

I agree Pursang they are different but by using the projected load outs and dumping the flush we could have a good practice time. We can set frag limit if you want 1 death or put it on respond for more practice. The main thing is to start getting used to using good heat management.

Vashts1985 MekTek has updated several times and in most cased the lag problems are gone especially on Kurita servers. But the servers them selves can be the problem.

Now youve got me because I have never played MekTek single player. I dont think it was really designed for that. I believe when they rebuilt it they made it a multiplayer game mainly or only.

Thanks.
Getting a bit cocky, I decided to play a bit of Mechcommander while I was waiting for the D/L - Caused a mild crash where the window was overlaid over task manager etc.. so I had to hard reset. (not seen one of those in XP for yonks)
Opps - Doesn't keep track of your D/L, so now I'm starting from scratch..
Thanks for the tip re; using regedit to change the server location, I'll come back to this thread once I've D/Led, but I'll only pester you for help if I struggle (I understand the registry, but day to day it & I have a relationship based on mutual hate & distrust ).
*EDIT* I agree it can't be used as a solid guide to how MWO will play, but I agree that conceptually it's probably the best thing we've got, other than a radical re-code of MW2-31st which I don't thin is going to happen; I had to jump though enough hoops just getting it to run in a 1024x768 window under dos-box for Win XP.
As it happens, I've never actually played a MW game online (all of them offline, but never against humans) so for me even dumbed-down basic lego-style mech combat vs real people & not shonky AI will be a lesson I could use.

It is also worth noting that playing MW4M can also help a person figure out:
- The control scheme would be best for you (mouse+keys, joystick+keys, joystick+HOTAS, joystick+pedals, etc)
- Keys & buttons to customize for various functions
- General types of mechs that you might want to use (light, medium, heavy, etc)

Few players online atm but I'll make time to see who's about later tonight, thanks for the support mate, I'll be playing MW4 under the same name (BigJim, I use it for every MP game I've ever played) so if you see me be sure to
