weird...
did you install pr1 before mp2.1a?
did you try starting the game stock, then with mp2.1a installed, then with the hd patch installed? that might give a pointer about what is causing the issue...
did you delete the old mechwarrior4 mercenaries folder before reinstalling (if you had one there...)?

that is correct - as stated in the sticky, you do not have to have the hd patch and are still mp compatible. if it would help, i can send you a cd...

Hondo,
where do you see that version number? NM - found it. this only shows up in the MP screen. i thinked you missed one set of numbers. it should be 51.02.02.0002.
to clarify, you downloaded and/or installed in order:
mechwarrior 4: mercenaries
pr1 patch
mekpak21a
hdp v1 mp2.1a
you have done NOTHING with mekpak302a yet...
if you have installed properly, in the upper middle of the main menu is Main Menu 2.1a, in the upper left is a graphic for MekTek Mech Pack, and in the lower left is a graphic for HD Mechwarrior Mecernaries Patch High Definition Patch by Starfire.
i also can not connect with zonematch - i don't even know if they provide the service any more... it is probably best if we just use i.p. connections. there is a beta release on an app to browse for servers when zonematch is down - i think it is server side. i might check it out to see if it is worthwhile. but for now i think ip connections is our option.

Okay, cancel my question in that other thread. I trust you mean our own IPs though, eh?

depends...on what you want to connect to.
the nbt ip's are to make sure your game browser works. with our current install we are not compatible with nbt servers. that may or may not be unfortunate, i am starting a discussion on that.

Okay, cool. I trust this is to do with stopping people from cheating at a variety of levels. I have heard that cheating is a high priority for a lot of the servers, to the point of being somewhat restrictive?
