Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries Pr1 Patch
Has anyone had any luck in getting this program to run properly under Vista with the Mech Paks installed? I'm sure I'm not the only person having this problem: Launching Mercenaries, patched to PR1, with the Mech Paks installed, results in a quit to desktop immediately after displaying the splash screen without any error message. I've run into comments on various modding forums that the problem involves an incompatibility between Vista and either C-Dilla or SafeDisc. Macrovision, who makes both, I believe, makes no mention of it, nor does Microsoft on any forum or knowledge base I've referenced to date. In fact, about the only useful information I've found is that Microsoft has stopped supporting MW4 altogether as of July this year. Using tips from those modding forums I was looking at, I was able to get Mercenaries to run by renaming the ISPAK and CLANPAK directories, and replacing EBUEula.dll and EBUSetup.sem with the corresponding files from Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance.
Of course, doing this means that I cannot use the Mech Paks. Is there a solution to this problem? Had a similar problem when I moved over to XP Pro. Some games, if not most, require the disc to be present in a drive before the game will start.
Windows XP uses a different system to 'talk' to CD/DVD drives compared to say, Windows 98, where the games would work fine. An example of such a game is Populous: The Beginning, and Drakan: Order of the Flame. Both of these games will not work under XP Pro or Vista even with the disc present.

Installing goes just dandy, but it stops there as the game runner process can't locate the disc because of the way the operating system handles calls to the CD/DVD drives. The solution was a No-CD crack, resulting in the games no longer looking for their discs in order to play. In legal la la land this is illegal as you are altering the software and/or circumventing copy protection (SafeDISC, C-Dilla, SecuROM, whatever); but in my opinion justified to run a perfectly good game you paid for and own the original disc for. =?Utf-8?B?ZWtpc2JleQ==?= wrote in news:. > Has anyone had any luck in getting this program to run properly under > Vista with the Mech Paks installed? > > I'm sure I'm not the only person having this problem: Launching > Mercenaries, patched to PR1, with the Mech Paks installed, results in > a quit to desktop immediately after displaying the splash screen > without any error message. > > I've run into comments on various modding forums that the problem > involves an incompatibility between Vista and either C-Dilla or > SafeDisc.
