I just purchased "Mechwarrior 4 Compilation" which contains Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance. Operation 4, Mission 6, in which you are to liberate a prison camp: The scenario requires you to first link up at Nav point Delta with some friendly units. Right away, I get a bad feeling....as far as I can remember, Nav points always begin with "Alpha". I reach Nav Delta, and the friendly units already there have some dialog about circling around instead of attacking directly, or some such. Following the HUD, I walk to Nav point Delta, and get audible confirmation that I have done so. This is where the problem begins. No new Nav point comes up! It stays frozen on Delta. I took a look for a patch, and found this: http://www.microsoft.com/games/mechwarrior4/mw4_update_v3.rtf Within the body of this, it says that patch 3 fixes a Nav point disappearance problem. So....is the patch version 3 safe to use with Windows XP Home? What is the safest, most official URL for the patch? I have not consciously done anything to run the game in Compatibility Mode. I am new to this board, and I don't see an option for email notificiation of replies to this post. themasterevan@yahoo.com
