Re: Mechwarrior 3 Install « Reply #7 on: 30 January 2015, 10:01:34 » I've used an alternative method using an ISO copy of my disc, and combining with a VHD mount. It's a tricky method - and if you have an alternative CD in the drive (say for example the MW2MERCs disc ). Description of MechWarrior 3 Windows. Here is the video game “MechWarrior 3”! Released in 1999 on Windows, it's still available and playable with some tinkering.

Remember, if you're having trouble with Mech 3 even after using Night Thastus' guide (remember to limit your frames and use DGVooDoo2/dxwnd!), you'll probably need to use CPUgrabber to slow down your CPU whenever you run the game!

I had such a nostalgia for this game, and after so long of wanting to replay it, I finally got in running in Windows 10. There's a few glitches off the bat, but mainly I found that you can't bind keys to fire specific weapon groups! You have to select weapon groups and then fire them which is really stupid. I guess I just didn't realize how much this sucked back in the day, but after playing MW4 and MWO, I just can't bring myself to play like that, it's just too annoying. :P

It was such a long time ago when a good friend and I got the game on an old burnt disk I down loaded it. And we must have spent more than 2 days straight playing it it was a game ahead of it's time that's what gaming is all about

I downloaded and installed the ISO version, but I'm stuck at 642x480, anyone have a fix?
Gulopes2018-07-241 point
DUDE you were right the AI's are a lot harder than in the original but i think it's maybe better because you learn how to play, configure etc. in MW3 and when you are good at it you can go and play Pirate's Moon cuz it's harder.
H don't download RIP version it's not full game it's just a ripped piece of it.
Gjammer2018-05-090 point
I thought it was odd that Mechwarrior 3 installed and ran trouble free but the add-on balked on x64 systems.
CsabaZz2017-12-021 point
Awesome, thank you very much! I have never thought I can play with this addon once..

I have the disk for this, but I need something so that I can play what I copied to my laptop(I copied the addon, but it wont let me play without a disk) so I think I would need the cd key. what would it be labled as in the disk(so I can copy it over)
Dude2016-11-231 point
I've played Mechwarrior 3 many times and love it. But when I play Pirate's Moon, it seems to be much more difficult than the base game. Maybe the devs felt MW3 was too easy so they cranked up the heat?
doomguy2016-06-200 point
pirates moon is a adon what
do you exspect

The game cannot run because the 'Software Render Files' aren't present in the Rip download.

I didn't realize this until now but the archive of the site with the 1.2 maps for Gold doesn't have them in that particular revision of the page, seams they removed it later. Go to revision Dec 18, 2007 to find it.
GuyFawkes2019-05-091 point
I figured out what the Radeon patch is. Here's a video of an ATI card without the patch for those who are curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEdPhetwLEc
Unfortunately nobody seams to remember who created it. I also found out that EOP's full name was Eater of Pies and his res fix was once called Mech3Loader.
GuyFawkes2019-05-081 point
I did a analysis of the no-cd here with HxD and it appears to incorporate EOP res fix. I'm curious where the Radeon fix comes from. Anyways I've found an official Map Pack (or so it claims, not sure if it was really endorsed or not so more analysis may be needed) here: https://www.gamefront.com/games/mechwarrior-3/file/mechwarrior-3-official-map-pack
The problem is it does a checksum on the exe file to determine the version of the game you have installed (requires 1.2) and it doesn't like the no-cd exe.
Also, doing some digging, I found that 1.2 added 2 new maps to the game but the devs forgot about them in Gold/deluxe version (whatever the version that included Pirate's Moon with the base game was called). An unofficial patch to add the missing maps is available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090214023739/rhttp://www.mechwarrior3.org/wordpress/?page_id=35
Not really needed for these rips sure, but someone might be grateful to find it.

Hi, I tried to put the patch in but it says insert cd, i put the patch installer into the c folder, that did not change the response.
The no cd patch just wont start, i moved it to the c folder and same thing.

MrJingles2018-06-25-2 points
MW3 and XP are in my opinion the last best Mech titles that ever were and ever will be. Everything after it has been a drop dead replacement, at this point your cloning zombies its dead leave it buried and move on.
SinfuLsoulzzZ2018-05-111 point
I download the 119mb file and nothing happens, doesn't go to my C drive, no compressed file to extract what gives? I was able to download the 119mb version of MechCommander with no issue, however music and video files are missing, is the 500mb more complete?
i miss the nostalgic days of MW3 and pirates moon add on

This site is great! This is the third game I've downloaded and successfully installed from here on my Windows 7 PC. I'm running it in XP compatibility mode. I remember the fuss people made about Mechwarrior games when they first came out. I didn't try them out back then but now I'm making up for lost time.

TLDR: cap your frames to 30, don't use a No CD patch, don't use compat mode

enferno2017-05-25-1 point
I have a problem. I installed it on my win xp pc cuz it probably had some compatibility issues on my w10 pc and the game ran smoothly but in the campaign the enemy mech was walking underground, shooting me , the apcs were bouncing around like stupid. and the screen kept flickering white approx. every 15 sec even outside missions. instant action worked well but still kept flickering. the tutorial I tried once but I couldn't quit the mission in the end for some reason , I haven't tried to run the tutorial again but I don't need training cuz im used to MW games. also I have the patch installed but the fix I couldn't install cuz some error always kept popping up. I used the ISO installation

For those of you missing MSVCP50.dll, you can find a clean copy of it (I just ripped it, myself, from an XP installer disc) here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ioszyzd87dgxz1a/AAB8UjPZyPAzg-SQiEMR5L6Fa?dl=1
Copy that to your installation folder. If you play more games from the 90s that use that dll, you can place it in Windowssystem32.
If Op 1 M2's turret isn't spawning, force enable v-sync and make sure you have your frame rate limited to 30 FPS (with RivaTuner or EVGA PrecisionX or.. whatever your preference is).

RedPhx2016-05-282 points
Haven't played this one in a long time. Mechwarrior (1) I just got and would need to learn the controls before saying what I think. Number 2 and 4 I haven't played yet. As for MWO as long as you don't mind having horrible teams for about 90% of the pug games its a good game but its frustrating to try and buy a new mech or improve the skill on the ones you have if after you get a good score your team loses cutting your gain in half.
Zero Senki2016-05-250 point
I love Mechwarrior 2 a lot, but it seems I left myself out of a possible gem here. Mechwarrior 4 had some good gameplay in my opinion. Athough I respect the opinions of Surivirus, I liked Mechwarrior Online.
SuriViruS2016-03-180 point
thnx for sharing. MWO is still pretty..half-baked. And don't mention MW4 - pah
mechz2016-01-277 points
I know everyone loved mw2, but mw3 will always be my favourite. annihilators were in my nightmares!
