Hello, peeps and gents.
As of late, I've been playing a very old classic of many hardcore pre-98/ME PC gamers, Mechwarrior 2. So far, the game runs pretty nicely, actually, for whats been done to make it work on Windows XP without the use of DosBox. However, I've been noticing issues while playing it. The first is that when you sometimes collide with objects or mechs they either 1: throw you out of the map geometry and cause the game to crash or 2: start blowing parts up on your mech. This only rarely happens for me, but there is another issue that CONSTANTLY happens to me, that is restricting my use of some of my most favorite configurations on some mechs. On some of them, when you fire LRM's, SRM's, or STREAKS, or any projectile weapon, they will detonate on the mech upon firing, and will cause damage to your mech. Has anyone had this issue before? Or, more importantly, has anyone even played this game? :V
