Hi, i am big fan of MechWarrior singleplayer series. My first experience was MechWarrior 3 but Vengeance and Mercenaries are my favourite games. Maybe you will have interest to check my gameplay.

I can not wait to play MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries, i am really curious how they handle it.

I have been playing these recently actually since they, Mercenaries at least, are now freely downloadable and can be played on Windows 10. All very nice.

The files may or may not be infected. Even while Mektek tweaked the game, the exe would generate a false positive with antivirus programs. I had to exclude those folders from antivirus scanning due to that issue.

I finally got a fully working copy with mektek on my desktop, but it refuses to play on my laptop without crashes and freezes within 30 seconds of launch.

I played the HELL out of vengeance and one of my first real forays into competitive multiplayer was in black knight.

I played a lot of mercs online too before mektek.


I've been doing challenge runs - only running medium lances, only running IS tech on IS mechs, etc.

I am sorry to hear that, my game runs perfect. I did not play Black Knight because i could not play against characters from Vangeance.

There is no known entity beyond Microsoft who
possesses the rights to distribute the MechWarrior 4 titles.
[mod]Due to discussion directing towards piracy,
this thread is now closed.[/mod]


edit: To clarify, MekTek has not had distribution rights since late 2012 or early 2013, and there is no known legal redistribution of their project.
