WTF with that stupid downloader?!?
Can't anyone do a proper release nowadays?

One can only wish they would re-release the original MW4 as well... And MW3... and MW2... Wink

Update: this Mektek downloader crap is really fucked up. I wonder how it passed Microsoft's QC; well, looking at Windows 7, I guess I can guess...
I think I'll pass for now and wait until they do a proper release (or, grab a torrent rip instead).

Mektek has been working on HD textures packs, so it should be ok.

Me thinks textures alone wont make this game any better. I expected a lot more. Since a friend showed me that video I have hope someone is gonna put out a really cool mech fighting game.

Here are the direct links for the two updates:
http://www.mektek.net/mw4free/torrents/files/mechwarrior4mercenaries.51.03.01.0017.to.51.03.01.0018.mtx.torrent
http://www.mektek.net/mw4free/torrents/files/mechwarrior4mercenaries.51.03.01.0018.to.51.03.01.0020.mtx.torrent

Edit: the Troyan is found in the latest update as well.

Edit2: The EXE is packed using PECompact2 - just use an unpacker, and all your A/V problems will be gone. I do not understand why they pack the EXE though - it serves no good.
Also, it seems I can finally select 1920*1200 in the latest update...
