Got Mechwarrior 3 running on 64-bit Win 10!
« on: 26 April 2017, 05:49:16 »
I just learned about DGVoodoo 2 yesterday, when setting up a game called Soulbringer to run on my modern gaming desktop, and then I thought, why not try it out on other pre-DX9 games? Some it worked fantastic, and some were complete crashes that made me have to reboot my computer, but when I got to MechWarrior 3, it worked fantastic instead of crashing! No compatibility mode required on the exe or anything like that. 1280 x 1024, texture filtering, anti-aliasing, and a hint of light enhancement that's sort of like a bloom effect.

So far I've only had one gameplay bug - in the first campaign mission, two vehicles were coming toward me, when suddenly they both shot up into the air and disappeared, only to drop down unharmed moments later. The rest of the game has worked without any problems so far, so I'm quite enjoying it!

If anyone's interested, here's some other old games it worked well on:
Anachronox
Dark Reign
Darkstone
Divine Divinity
Empire Earth Gold
Might and Magic RPG's
Revenant
Soulbringer
