sorry, I need more information to be able to help you

did you download the client from this site or from steam?

what happens when you try to run MWO?

so you have downloaded the installer but cannot find it?
try copying and pasting the below line into your start menu then press enter
%userprofile%\downloads\MWOPortalInstaller.exe


if that does not work try going to Steam and install from there

no the game does not require steam.

there are 2 seporate ways to install the game, you can use the MWO Portal downloaded from this site, or you can use Steam.

Steam tends to download more quickly and has easier to use and less time consuming troubleshooting tools.

the reason I sugested trying to install through steam was that he said he was downloading the portal but could not find it, therefore could not run it to download and install MWO.

sign up for steam.. (it's free)

install from there.. it runs really well under the steam platform.


Then expand your library with the crazy steam sales! :)


this from the guy that said for years i would never use steam.. "Never say Never again!"
