I am a big fan of all the Mechwarrior games released till now, but now i am pissed . I got a Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries game sinse 4 days and i still can't get it running. The problem is that the game hangs at the roster screen. I press the "New" pilot button, and than when i have to choose the mercenaries to fight for my mouse pointer dies when it reaches the edge of the square with the options. Restarting the sistem follows

I'm getting the same problem. I'm running Vista32bit, thought it might be Vista related. Can anyone else having the problem confirm or deny that?

I figured out what my problem was. I had to uninstall my old video codecs and install new ones. In another forum I found people with different, yet similar, errors who recommended the K-Lite codec pack. Personally I got Mercs to work with the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP), I used it instead because I use codecs for other stuff and I like this one better. Cheers.
