Shadowcat in mid-jump!MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries (MTX free version) Installation and Setup

MekTek has released a FREE updated version of MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries that includes the latest MekPak, the Clan and IS packs, and a new installer/updater named MTX (you can get it here). Many thanks go to Smith & Tinker who recently acquired the rights to (some of) the MechWarrior videogames.

BASIC INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: This will give you a good setup for online and (MWL) League play (accurate as of 5-2010).

There is a newer patch coming out soon… I am not sure if everyone will switch to it. Look for MekPak 4 from MekTek.

MechWarrior 4 Dedicated Server Crash

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Mechwarrior 4 - ChalkdustMy dedicated MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries server (von Pilsner’s) crashed the other night. I don’t play much during the week, so I didn’t notice until I got a call from another player asking where the server went.

Fortunately the important stuff was recently backed up so I had to re-install and configure Windows and a few other programs and the server was back online within 24 hours. According to initial reports from other players it is running a lot more smoothly now, so perhaps it was a blessing in disguise… lol

Another Test Post

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Test Image Since I just changed my blog to a new engine, I figured I should get used to the way it handles uploads, images, comments, etc…So here goes: a test post with very little content.

I figured this would be a good test picture, it is the score of our most recent McRugby match against RAGE (we won). They didn’t like the way we played the game and disconnected during the 2nd round, RAGE_Epi stayed in the server so we could report and confirm scores. Much respect to Epi for this.

The Black Scorpions don’t always make friends when playing MechWarrior, we play to win and often surprise other teams with our tactics.
