MechWarrior free release is a GO!
 
About time, Microsoft!



Quote:

Dare we say it? Free release of Mechwarrior4 cleared for launch

If you've been following the drama surrounding the free release of Mechwarrior4, than you would be aware that the initial announcement, made last summer, was a bit premature. After nearly a year since the announcement came, MekTek Studios is pleased to announce, that Microsoft Legal has given the all clear for the free release of Mechwarrior4. This hallmark movement by Microsoft Games couldn't come at a better time, as the Mechwarrior community is attempting a rebirth, amidst announcement of a Mechwarrior Reboot. Thank you Microsoft.

A few weeks ago we stuck our neck out and announced that our studio was struggling to see this release through to the end. We also released our MekPak 3.1, through our distribution and patching system MTX, which gave our developers an opportunity evaluate any unknown bugs. We're glad our announcement and release worked, and we have many to thank for raising awareness, as the release of Mechwarrior4 is now imminent.

Some of the people we'd like to thank, to name a few, are those reporting gaming news such as Joystiq, Bluesnews, BigDownload, Fragland, Gamespy, IGN, Shacknews, and Slashdot. We'd also like to thank all major gaming forums for keeping this topic in discussion and not letting people forget about the promise of a Mechwarrior free release. Of course, we'd like to thank our partners for pressing Microsoft to allow for the release of Mechwarrior to the community including Smith and Tinker, INC., Virtual World Entertainment, LLC., and Catalyst Game Labs. And finally we'd like to thank our community and the Mechwarrior fans for standing behind MekTek when things appeared to be at their worst. Thank you for your continued support. Please stay tuned for the release launch!

looks like it's down

Tenebrus May 1st, 2010 11:31 AM

yeah. and I haven't gotten to the nocd patch they will be releasing either. so it's still asking for a cd in the drive...

Everything looks to be in order. Have downloaded the game and working with options. One of the cool things they did was add some higher resolutions to the game.

Bestar May 3rd, 2010 05:35 PM

download doesnèt work. says file doesnèt exist.

Tenebrus May 3rd, 2010 07:04 PM

You should be able to download the MTX downloader here:

MTX Downloader

They wrote their own downloader to handle installation and patching. It's not super great, but it works (you need to be patient with it though).

Tenebrus May 7th, 2010 06:35 PM

anyone else get this up and running?

This slashdot article has some good info in the responses on how to download the game without using the MTX downloader if you are having problems with it.

DLed it, but getting the Disc 2 error. Have to research that in my copious free time.

Make sure to update it. Should end in .20. Works fine then.
