Why does XP hate MW3? I love this game, was dying to play
it on a better computer, but this is what I got:
- The missions take forever to load
- The in-game message window takes forever to open or close
- The target reticule acts like it's getting a millisecond-
long flick a couple times a second
- The Jump-Jets "jitter." The mech lifts a meter off the
ground and refuses to go any higher until the JJs are half
spent or so, then I get another meter. And if I hit the
wall or mountain I'm trying to jump over...
- The mech bounces half a kilometer high and stays in this
low orbit. I've also seen the teacher's mech in one of the
training missions do this, too.
- If I use a mech in the campaign that I built with Anti-
Missle Systems in Instant-Action, then the AMSs refuse to
work anywhere else in the game, including online in
multiplayer!
I haven't played this game on this computer in a long time
now due to all these issues. If you can't use Jump-Jets
and AMS in multiplayer, your better off playing checkers.
I've tried everything I could come up with on my own:
defrag, re-installation, new graphic card, Windows
compatibility for 95, 98, ME, 2000 AND (God save us!) NT
SP5! Drivers, patches, virus scans... everything short of
black magic!
My newsgroup searches have only found me one other guy in
the Google groups with similar problems, and him and I are
both at our wits' end. I'm convinced something in XP
itself is inadvertantly hostile to MW3.
Am I doomed to Mechwarrior 4? (Ask anyone who loves MW3,
they know what I mean by that.) Or is there any help for
us MW3 nuts out there? I mean, that can't be it for us,
can it?
Hoping you can help,
Baldo
