Might want to do so and see if that fixes the issue, I can no longer remember the reasoning, but I do remember reading somewhere to patch to version 1.1, which I did. However, I vaguely remember missiles failing to properly fire when it was in 1.0, and I was mucking about in Trials of Grievance (cuz nothing else would work!). As far as DOSBox... when I attempt to run it in DOSBox, it simply tells me the CD is not present, which it totally is. Furthermore, according to the DOSBox site itself (specifically, http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/comp_list.php?showID=643&letter=M ), it states the game runs better OUTSIDE of DOSBox. It actually says it needs a crack to run in DOSBox, when it does not need one to run in XP! It is all very confusing... EDIT : I am thinking about just picking up Virtual PC, and then get the Titanium Edition of Ebay to run in a virtual Windows 98 or something.

Meh, nevermind. I got it to work once, but now I seem completely unable to duplicate the results, and have tried lasers in every position, head, all three torsos, legs, arms. Someone help?

Well this is a seperate (yet entirely related) problem I am having. I have gotten Mechwarrior 2 to start, run, and do everything correctly. The mouse works quick, the CD tracks play right, I can go into either Clan Hall, I fixed the choppy sound, etc. etc. But there is still one major problem. There seems to be a problem with the game's collision detection. On the one hand, some objects simply cannot be shot : specifically, those behind objects that have been exploded, but are now visible. For intsance, I cannot shoot anyone standing behind an exploded building, even if I can see them. The lasers just sort of impact this... 'nothing' and there is a puff, like they hit the ground. But even more important, I cannot do the Cold Crescent mission, the one for Clan Wolf where you have to infiltrate the Falcons and destroy the terraformer core. It is absolutely, 100% impossible to shoot the core, because you have to blast open a side of the building it is in to get in there. My shots just 'puff' in the middle of nowhere. I can even walk inside the terraformer building, screw around in there for awhile, get really really close to the core... and it still just goes 'puff'. One time I got the Jade Falcon Rifleman IIC to follow me in there, and we were wailing on each other with shots that puffed right in front of us... it was really, really weird. Needless to say, I am unhappy at my inability to destroy the core, because I need to to complete the mission. Another problem is missiles explode in my face. When I fire them, they just blow up right in front of me and do a lot of damage to myself. It never did this before, and it is really irritating. Anybody have any idea what is wrong, or how I can fix it? EDIT : I was muckin' about with the mission, trying various things to see if it would help, including the enolagay (blows up everything) cheat code, which did not help. Somehow I actually managed to shoot the core and explode it, and I think it had something to do with having one of my medium pulse lasers mounted in the head, instead of the arms like usual. But missiles still explode in my face. [Edited by BakNBlack on 2005-11-12 17:42:32]
