 :(

Had the game installed already (from the time this tread started I guess), but it now crashes on me.
Will try a reinstall.

Also my ancient joystick is ancient. Will see if I can :raise dead:

Did a quick check of their forums and it seems original game is not compatible.

Torrent running...

yay, after a lot of hassle I finally got my normal game to work. had trouble with some missing dll-file from Nero or something.

unfortunately, in the process, I updated my vid-driver (still have the occasional BSoD with EvE) and now my resolution wont go higher than 1440x900, but will try to fix that tomorrow, tired of fixing

(oh, and got my joystick to work too!  :) but not my force feedback function  :( )

I see the games, but can't join em. How frustrating. (bit like ETW btw)
Suspect I have to open ports on my router, but I'm a noob and cant work out how I should do that  :-[

Quote from a moderators sig on the mektek forums:

Quote
You must open the following ports for MW4:Mercs 3.1 multiplayer (official article link) (also see the "Sysopreadme" file in the Mercs directory):
For TCP both inbound and outbound: 47624
For TCP and UDP both inbound and outbound: 2300-2400
Mercs is a "DirectX 7" game. Try both UPnP Disabled and UPnP Enabled on your router. Turn off all SW Firewalls, including the Windows Firewall. Check that your Anti-Virus SW allows Mercs to operate freely. Check and see if your modem has a built-in router. Could your ISP be blocking any ports? Choose the 56K in-game connection speed to start. Check Portforward.com for general router assistance and use their Port Checker app to see if your ports are really open. Check 47624 and several in the 2300-2400 range, both UDP and TCP. Note that the ports Portforward.com lists for Mercs are INCORRECT!

With me its all the buttons and stuff.

I may try it 3rd person - although that looks too small in windowed mode (which doesnt seem to want to switch to my chosen resolution) to really see whats going on.

So at least I am not the only one who cannot hit the broadside of a barn in this game?

I cannot even hit the farm.

Still working my controls out.  I want a better mouse with more buttons - sticking with mouse+keyboard for this seems to be my best option, then i can actually play and do stuff, then die in MP to Saf and the other well versed folks.
