Crash when clicking Graphics in Options Menu
by Georg Hennig on Wednesday September 8th 2010, 14:49
Forgot to add one crucial step to my comments: make sure, options.ini has DOS file format (newline character is \r\n, not only \n).
The easiest way is to create the file with a text editor of your choice, and then use the tool "unix2dos options.ini" (or "todos options.ini" for ubuntu users).
For MW4 Black Knight, the options file is called "optionsx.ini" btw
MW4 working (most of it)

How to proceed to get the game working:
- Install it (should work fine; choose complete installation)
- Patch it, if you want to (for later patches, e.g. 3.0 you'll need to set your windows version to win98, because the Cdac14ba.dll creates an executable CDAC14BA.EXE inside windows/system32/drivers directory, which hangs, and you had to kill it several times, when you're inside game menu. For win98 it tries to load something like CDAC14BA.vxd which silently fails)
- Get a NoCD-crack from somewhere
- Sometimes, you'll have to have CD 2 inserted in your drive (or image mounted). The location of the CD must be set as CDRom-drive in winecfg, and in system.reg CDPath has to point to this location, e.g.
[Software\\Microsoft\\Microsoft Games\\MechWarrior Vengeance]
"CDPath"="D:\\"
- Create a file "options.ini" inside your game directory, containing this (modify it for your needs, these are high detail settings. screenwidth/screenheight settings might be interesting):
The only critical key seems to be "shadowmode=1". Don't set it to "shadowmode=2", the game will crash whenever you see a Mech (including your own one on 3rd person view)
window option:
is optional, but as fullscreen doesn't work, this seems to prevent it from trying to go to fullscreen mode.
gosusehw option:
Without it I get an error dialog saying that my hardware doesn't fit to MW4 :-)
gosnodialogs option:
optional. suppresses error dialogs, where we would have to click "continue".
gosnovideo option:
With enabled videos, game doesn't even start. I tried to recompress the videos, without success. Also native amstream.dll doesn't work (with native amstream.dll game complains about getfiltergraph, before crashing, but that seems to be a non-critical error)
For installing

To install the game, if you have trouble with the cdrom eject, take both cds and copy all files to the same dir, and start installation from this dir. This work for sure
