Hey all,
I've just picked up Mercs (never really liked 31st Century as much) again after several years, and sound wasn't working UNTIL: there's a batch file in the mercs directory called "setsound.bat", and it lets you choose your soundcard. I have some random onboard card on my asus k8v, but it still detects it as a SoundBlaster (compatible). After running this, I am able to simply run "mercs.exe", without any nolfb or vdms at all! The sound is a little choppy, but it's still there! (I updated to 1.1, but I don't know if it matters.) Just thought this might help at least a few of you - most of you seem to be trying to run 31st Century. Anyway, good luck!
