Also, I suggest the mektek download as it's the final version of the game and doesn't need a no cd crack as it uses windows direct play.

Many hours spent on this game (PR1) with Merc unit Tau'ri. A true classic.

I love the game. My org disks will not work with window 10 / 11 , . tried to use the compatibility options for XP. no go. So I will give this a try. Thanks.

i really need help to install this

Ded Spector 2021-10-12 -1 point

Dayum, I had so much fun with this game. Though I frankly prefer Mechcommander 2 in hindsight.

Trying to beat the game in hardmode was impossible for me. Would require waaay too much jump-sniping at max range, on top of reloading saves to avoid gamebreaking bugs. E.g. sometimes, enemies would randomly sink 2 Kilometres into the ground, making the mission unbeatable. Or escorts getting stuck and refusing to move.

I also played the Mektek version, but back then it still required a CD check with the original MW4: Mercs CD, which made it rather annoying since I was playing it with a NoCD hack that was easy as pie to find and install.

Also the Mektek version locked out the new fan-made weapons and Mechs from the solo Campaign game... UNLESS you did some additional hacking to put them in, which was a lot more tedious and not simple at all.

forgot to mention, it also seems to be missing the rifleman

Tankuality 2021-02-19 1 point

It's a technical nightmare to set up, thats just how the game is, not compatible by default with modern tech, but it seems to run fine, although, i AM missing a few mechs(archer, marauder, marauder 2, warhammer, wasp, battle cobra, linebacker) but overall it works well(by the way, the instructions for how to install it here need updated, since it's not that simple to install it anymore)

Screen resolution 2021-02-04 -2 points

I want to play 1024x678 or better, since I have a NV GTX video card, but auto config at at setting above medium only gives me part of the screen not all of it. Yes I have the mek tek version but I would like full width screen, not this full screen with bars on the side like an old tv.

This is by far the most comprehensive and effective guide I've found for installing all the MW4 variants. I thoroughly encourage you follow this link as it includes detailed win 10 instructions and various things like patches. 1 thing though, there's a line telling you to go to a map.zip at the beginning, replace that w/the name of the mektek download. Also, I suggest the mektek download as it's the final version of the game and doesn't need a no cd crack as it uses windows direct play.

FOMO 2020-04-13 0 point

I miss these old FASA Microsoft battletech games. I really liked the video cutscenes at the start of the games and the music was great in all of the games too. Sort of indutrial rock vibe to it all and when it was kicking off the music really added to all the action happening around you. Quality voice acting too and variety in the missions which were also quite long with objectives suddenly changing as things happened within the game. In fact has everything the current Mechwarrior 5 is missing now.. even graphically it's not much worse then the current offering by Pirahna (aka Mechwarrior Online fame). MW5 plays way too much like it's online cousin and much of what made the MW great seems to be missin gin the latest game. Give the license back to them! lol.

Mechfan 2020-04-01 1 point

Like quite a few on this forum i had problems running the original Mechwarrior games discs on win 10.
Installing itself was not a problem, it would happen after pressing the games icons in desktop. So what has worked - for me today (1/4/2020 - is downloading and running the Mek Tek version from this site.
Just follow a previous instruction from a post below: I'll repeat here.
Download Met Tek Version. Unzip the file to chosen drive (should come up automatically)
C:MW4mercs...etc Open folder and look for "Auto config_Mercs.exe" It's about halfway down the files, then select the card and graphics settings (it should pop up) since it's an old game you can set everything to max set resolution to 1024x768 - there's a choice of three - Find the "MW4mercs.exe "line again to create a shortcut, go to properties on shortcut and select "run in admin mode.
Just one problem ( least for me) it won't run from the shortcut, there's an error that says: "missing language Dll" i have to keep opening the game from the exe.file in the games folder....but hey, the game runs and works.

Hope this helps.

I followed an easy guide youtube video and downloaded all the Mech4 games and set them up properly with Voodoo support and both Mech4 Vengeance and Black Knight work perfectly but for some reason Mech4 Mercs still says it needs a disk 2. Can someone help me find a way to bypass it? It did with the Mettak download and did it with the Original download and I did the steps like with Vengeance properly and also with the NODC HOTFIX download witch I believe was required for the Original. I would like a response on this issue because I really want to play with the new toys.

For those who don't wish to go through the hassle of fighting through the above steps, load a no cd patch and have HD game play, then DL the game here: http://www.shadows-of-empirion.de/drupal/node/562
this is an installer and installs to version 3.1.093.
Mods may want to host this file here

10021k 2019-12-21 2 points

I got one way to get it to work on Windows 10 64 bit newest version.

1. Download the original ISO

2. Extract the ISO's in the zip

3. In the search box in windows type "Powershell"

4. In the shell type Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath or just copy and paste and drag the ISO to the Powershell

5. Now type in search bar " Thispc "

6. right-click on the mech warrior cd drive and hit explore

7. click install and let it install and go through it.

8. When it asks for 2nd cd of that drive letter. go back into this pc and click eject on
the mech warrior cd.

9. go back into Powershell and push the up arrow key and replace the one with a two
in the file. and click enter and wait for it to mount.

10. go into search box again and type Disc management and click on "create and format disk partitions"

11. right-click the Mechwarrior second cd and click change drive letter and paths
and click change. also make it the first driver letter to whatever it was example D:\, f:\, H:\

12. continue installing

13. after you are done install the no-cd file on this site and extract it. Copy and replace the EXE with the new one the installation directory should be
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Mechwarrior Mercenaries.
and overwrite the file. you could copy and back up the original one.

Hope this helps and is clear :)

OldGamerGuy 2019-05-28 2 points

I'm trying to unzip and run a game using Windows 7. The game ran on an earlier version of Windows.

Myabandonware.com gives these instructions
1 Download MekTek Version.
2 Unzip the file to your chosen drive. C:\MW4Mercs etc.
3 Open folder and run under admin mode “autoconfig_MERCS.exe”
4 Select your video card and graphics setting.
5 Find MW4Mercs.exe and make a shortcut on your desktop.
6 Run in admin mode.

First I downloaded the program named 7Zip
I am not sure if I correctly unzipped the file.

Within the game, there is a Tab for setting Video, but the Screen Resolution drop down button does not do anything

I reached all the way to step six, but the game launches to a black screen
and I get an error message: STOP: You do not have the correct video codec installed to play Content\Movies\mektek_mekpak31_logo.mpeg

It then gives choice buttons: More Details, Continue, Exit

When I choose Continue, the game appears to launch, but the screen is completely black and there is no sound. I may not be waiting long enough.

Sometimes when I click a few times with my mouse, an animated mouse cursor for the game appears on the black screen.

sometimes the black screen then shirnks to about one fourth of my monitor screen, and it appears to be the whole game, but music stutters a bit.

I try to select the option to go full screen, but then, it crashes to black screen again, and I get:

Fatal Error Nested exception - Cause: EnterWindowMode.

Error: You do not have the correct video codec installed to play
Content\Movies\mektek_mekpak31_logo.mpeg at 0x0

The Minimize button works fine, it just won't enlarge to full screen

blahblahblacksheep 2019-04-26 1 point

If you have Windows use a DPI / Text Scaling setting other then 100%, you'll notice all the MW4 games having an offset screen that seems to be shifted to the lower-right, leaving a black bar on the top, regardless of game screen resolution. (The main menu will look fine, but once you start a mission, like training, the screen has a black bar on top, and hitting ESC has the menu shoved down in the lower right corner.. it's still centered on the game screen, but the game screen is offset from your monitor).

Reason... The MW4 games use fonts (eg: for menus) that are impacted by the Windows DPI / Text Scaling setting. You may have changed the DPI / Text Scaling in order to keep a high resolution (eg 1080) but to scale the fonts up in size so you could read them instead of them looking super small.

You can double-check your DPI / Text Scaling in Win 10 by...

1) right-click desktop
2) Display Settings
3) Change size of text, apps and other items

If it's set to anything higher then 100%, it can cause issues in MW4.

The Work-Around...

1) Right-click the MW4 shortcut on your desktop
2) Properties
3) (tab) Compatability
4) (button) Change High DPI Settings
5) (checkbox) Override high DPI Scaling
6) (dropdown .. Scaling Performed By) Application

This will let the Application use whatever DPI / Text Scaling it wants (basically make it use 100% w/o you having to manually set that in the Windows Display Settings.)

Do this to all the shortcuts for the MW4 games you've installed: Vengeance, Black Knight, Mercenaries

"No CD fix" doesn't work, as the problem seems to prevent complete installation. Obviously, I'm wasting my time with this site, as no useful fix seems to be available for the defective software purveyed.

Chralex 2018-01-11 1 point

I had issues running my original copy on windows 10, it did not matter what I did to the installed EXE file it just crashed on start, using the no CD-fix apparently worked for me. You basically just replace the original "MW4Mercs.exe" file in the install directory with the one downloaded in the "no CD fix".

Do note that I already had DirectPlay enabled, I did not need to start it as administrator, and I had run the auto-config tool prior to launching it.

I think that as a kid I played through the game three times, but it seems like I've always taken the Davion path, this time I'm going Steiner and I'm playing missions that I don't even remember, so there was something to come back to.

Diablo A Wolff 2017-11-09 -2 points

I've played this game for many years using the original disc. The disc has developed reading problems that cannot be repaired. I suspect scratches or nicks in the disk. What I have noticed from several attempts to download the game from various websites is the executable file has a virus (Trojan.Gen2) that has been there for over nine years. Most of the virus catchers will catch it and allow it to be exempted. Windows 10 version 107 does not allow it, and deletes it entirely. Even the .rar files will get hit if they are in the download folder. I'm hoping the files from this website are clean and playable. The buggiest downloads were from Clan Coyote's downloads. I informed the WEB master, but have not received a reply yet. Beware.

How do I install the Mektek version on windows 10?

Lentulus Batiatus 2017-07-26 3 points

Some notes:
-Mektek version gives you tons more mechs and includes the original content with minimal modifications and slightly better performance. By far the version to grab.
-For the above version, MW4Mercs.exe launches the game.
-You can unpack it anywhere. Heck, you could run it straight off a USB stick and carry that around... and the game isn't too intensive to worry much about the performance implications of that.
-For windows 10 users, I suggest a run through the compatibility troubleshooter if you have issues.

I've found that any bugs with this game are variable based on what other contents you have on your system, such as driver quirks or other programs. The operating system does not make or break MW4 as I have played it on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 10 without issues.

Saleem Yogi 2017-07-17 -1 point

Just a tip-- once you have a 'Mech with 3 critical beam/omni slots and enough tonnage, make sure to equip at least one ER PPC. They're lightweight (6-7 tons), have no ammo cost, and can remove almost a ton of armor in a single shot. The only downside is that they generate a LOT of heat, so make sure to save room for a few heat sinks. I typically outfit a Daishi with 2 ER PPC's, an MRM-30, 2 Small Pulse Lasers, and 2 Large Pulse Lasers, saving the rest of the tonnage for missile ammo, armor, heat sinks, and engine power.

the mektek version for download is an updated game engine and high quality textures along with both mechpaks which both come with the original mechs when they came out and mechs made by some people at mektek inc., even though everything is the same as back when it became free on the mektek site the only problem is you cant have the resolution fit to your monitor as there are only 3 choices 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480.

I was 5 when I used to play this back in 2008-ish on an old shoddy PC.
The disc was in there when it died so we abandoned it to rot in our garage forgetting about the disc. Now it's 2016 and i'm 12.
For the last month I had been searching the entire house for MW4 since I really wanted to experience the nostalgia again, forgetting it was in the old PC. I then realised last night it was still in the PC. I unscrewed the PC and opened the disc compartment. There it was!
It was the most excited i've been int the last 2 years.
I loaded it into my new PC and installed it. After about 10 minutes it finished.
It was th most disappointed i've been in the last 2 years.

Then the computers capacitors died and we could no longer play it so we abandoned it and left it in our garage. Now it's 2016 and i'm 12. I wanted to play MW4 so I searched the entire house instead of the garage. I was really disappointed after looking for it for a solid week. 1 month later I remembered it was still in the old PC. I looked there, unscrewed the PC and found the disc. I was so excited. Put it into my desktop and installed it. Then I was the most disappointed i've ever been in my entire life. It said 'Installation Complete... Insert Disc 2' FFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

It also asks me to insert disc 2 during the install, at 52% it wants disc 2 and won't continue to load.

@Josiah...um can you give us more details?
at what point in the game are u being asked for cd 2 ????????
I don't have any problems playing this at all, never at any point
have I been asked for cd 2 by the game, I play this game on
winxp and win7, maybe try deleting it and reinstalling/unzipping?
do you have another pc u can try it on?

@ender_2 , so what exactly do the mektek mech packs add to this already great game? can you go into details for those of us who don't know anything about it.

Ender_2 2016-02-18 0 point

Now if only someone could track down the MekTek mech packs. They added so much to the game over the years, but every copy of them that I find now is plagued with viruses.

a really good MechWarrior game.
does anyone here know where I can get more maps
to play on for the skirmish mode?
or is there a way to update game features?
what a GEM this game is to play.

longDADDYlegy2k 2016-01-29 0 point

in my opinion the BEST MechWarrior ever...yeah yeah I know, I know....what about MechWarrior online it looks way better blah blah blah, this looks good enough 4 me, I don't need to be ONLINE to play it, and it has skirmish...the only thing I am missing is MORE MAPS, and I say PHUCK that MECHTEK thing, I don't even know what the hell a mechtek even is.
so download this and be happy-

78ppk78 2016-01-27 1 point

so what is that mektek thing and why would I want it anyway?
this game seems good enough without it, it already includes
some editors and stuff so what good is a mektek???????????

I love this game, i enjoyed mw2 back in the day, mw3 didn't do much for me but it was ok, but this little sucker is great, I am playing on my acer-win7-64bit.
installed and played without any trouble whatsoever...I am sad to hear that some of my fellow gamers are having trouble getting this up and going...I even tried it
on another laptop running XP without any problems, can't believe this game is
free/abandoneware!!!!!!!!!

Been a fan of Battletech and Mechwarrior since the earliest days that I can remember. MW4 Mercs is a shining example of a phenomenal game in their lineage, and while apocryphal at best, is still a great way to get your fix of battetech.

@Manux 323
Just unpack the downloaded file. (you can use a plethora of free software, such as 7-zip) and then put the unpacked folder to the location you need, (program files?) and then when you want to play, start the MW4Mercs.exe that's in the "base" folder.

Bishop 2014-10-07 0 point Windows version

When ig88 said "the h-word" or "the d-word" he meant expletives. swear-words.unclean language. The h and d represent the first letter of such words. Which some try to avoid. This game and it's predecessors are well made and I would recommend playing them, although with caution due to the concerns voiced by ig88.

tforsaken 2014-10-06 -1 point Windows version

ig88 can i have some of what your taking what the fuck is the h word?

FB 2014-10-01 -1 point Windows version

@IG88:
What's the "d-word"? What's the "H-word"? Your short review would make a lot more sense to me if I knew what you're talking about. Drosophilia? Hamartophobia? Who knows?

ig88 2014-09-30 2 points Windows version

this game is very well done. the only 2 problems are it has use of the "d-word" in some of the levels and some of the mech names have the "h-word" in them. for the missions, my sugjestion is to turn of the sound and listen to some good techno instead. for the mech names, there is not much youcan do. this game for windos xp, not dos, but it works on windos seven also. somepeapol say it is not abandone ware, but it is nolonger sold by the original company and so i would not wory about it. all in all, I rait it 4 out of 5.

TuntematonSika 2014-09-26 0 point Windows version

RickStone 2014-09-02 0 point Windows version

I keep having a small problem with this game; after playing about half-way through my last installation of the game (from this same site and download) and from the very start of my current playthrough, the torso slowly aims downward and I can't seem to get it to stop. I have to constantly manually re-adjust the aim which can be quite tricky in the middle of combat. Does anybody know of this problem and how I can fixt it? Thanks!

Ash 2014-07-14 0 point Windows version

This game was simply superb, it's got everything you'd want in a good mech game, a good degree of customization, and decent enough AI (Both ally and enemy), the game would probably be sold for $20 on GoG if it weren't for legal disputes with MegaMek, which btw, this version is the MegaMek version, which adds an additional 60 or so mechs to pilot! If you have the original, this is pretty much the Deluxe Edition, must have.

keppelectic 2014-06-21 0 point Windows version

I have an original copy of this game. When i installed the original, AVG notified me of a Trojan, which i removed and there were no problems at all for me. If anyone is receiving this it might just be an outdated file or so forth. Whilst i have an original, having a 2 year old rub it along the tile floor makes a difference to the install. This copy worked fine for me and i am running Windows 7 - 64 bit, just downloaded and opened MW4Mercs.exe and has been great since then. Still the best Mechwarrior you will ever play!

@{CYT}™Cmeg 2014-06-04 0 point Windows version

This IS a playable version of MW4 v3.1 (it IS 3.1 isn't it? TBQH I can't remember). Why should we all go emailing you? How do we know your not going to lump us with an MW4 vPasswordStealKeylogger eh?
Might be worth asking around "mechstorm.com" (the only MW4 forum/site left on the whole net) if they know bout this!

@Disapointed 2014-06-04 0 point Windows version

I've been playing this download of MW4 for a few months, and not noticed any kind of virus troubles. None of my AV's detect anything. But, now you mention it, I'm sure I've heard other people mention finding this trojan. AFAIK it is a false alarm - it must have some code that has some similarities to one of the well known trojans, and perhaps some cheaper / freeware scanners LQ heuristics misidentify it.

{CYT}™Cmeg 2014-05-25 0 point Windows version

disapointed 2014-05-25 0 point Windows version

the most important file in this whole download is affected with a virus. specifically MW4Mercs.exe, and the name of the virus is TROJ_SPNR.0BF412. This sucks, I've literally tried so many websites and I just want to play this game already. well I guess I'll just enjoy it through youtube videos.

Asso 2014-05-24 0 point Windows version

Though the game works fine, one niggle, if you want to make your own maps using the map creator tool provided - you're stuffed! There is a file missing in this installation - "tctd.exe" - without it the map creator simply won't work - and it is impossible to find this file anywhere else on the net.

Pink Floyd 2014-05-21 0 point Windows version

The whole series of Mechwarrrior is timeless. This was the last one and still holds up incredibly well 12 years later. The stand alone Mercenaries series of both 2 and 4 had more to offer than the originals. Lots of options and incredible replat value

You can't use this by dragging the zip file over to the dos box. You have to add manually and it has to be a windows profile through d-fend reloaded, not a dosbox profile. You have to navigate into the "base folder" inside the mechwarrior 4 folder and find your exe file. Good luck.

Cartortus 2013-09-26 0 point Windows version

I downloaded both MechWarriors and D-Fend, i tried extracting with defend, but it told me it didnt have executable files. what did i do wrong?

I Down loaded this file twice, 1st time it said it wasnt a ziped file and the second time, when I put it into D-Fend reload it says that the file doesnt contain any executable files, so it wont run after being unpacked, bit of a
waste of 3.5 gig of download!! If you have a solution please email me.
