Huzzah! MekTek finally gets the legal go-ahead from Microsoft for the free MechWarrior 4 release. Took M$ long enough, rumor has it they almost ruined MekTek by just sitting on this.

Re: Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?
Not sure. I think all the work is done, they were just trying to clear legal hurdles. I would imagine it would be out in a couple of months. I'll definitely post when it is released.

Or, at least I think so. MekTek's servers are getting hammered, so you might want to wait a few days.

Re: Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?
They should have done it over a torrent as well.

Re: Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?
I'll get it later.
I just hope gog.com will get to release the older Mechwarrior games, notably Mechwarrior 2 with Ghost Bear Legacy. And also the Heavy Gear ones.

Re: Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?
I think there are a few torrents up for it. Their installer is basically a torrent system anyway, or I was led to believe.
Re: Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?
Urgh, I am really not happy. There is a ton of Spyware/Virus plants all over google search.
However, I found a mirror download to the torrent on another forum. Hopefully, it is all safe.
To use the file, you rename the MTX extention to .zip and unzip it.
Edit: There seems to be patches and other things. Perhaps it is best to wait till everything is sorted.

I just read yesterday that it needs a custom downloader but the site where you can get that is (or was at the time of reading) inaccessible and even those who got the downloader have connection problems, restarting downloads and corrupted files. Doesn't sound too good.

Re: Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?
My understanding is that you first have to download MTX, (basically, their download/patch manager), and then get it through that mechanism. Since MekTek decided to go this route, instead of through a decent torrent mechanism, their server is a molten pile. Give them a few days to sort it out. On a related note, if you type "mektek" into Google, "mektek down" is the second option.

Watching these videos made me so nostalgic.
