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?
