    I’ve never managed to get the Mechwarrior 4 games running on a Linux box, and I would LOVE to play them again. Wine just shits itself.

    I think I have a PCIe sound card around here somewhere…

      MW4:Mercs would be my goto now, I have to try getting that to run, I loved that game, just don’t bother with MW5, it’s the most infuriating game ever.

      The AI of your lancemates is so bad it actively prevents you from having fun in most battles (even with AI mod). Most missions are supremely boring auto-generated and even the story missions are mostly not interesting. And there are popup turret emplacements and tanks spawning out of nowhere all over the maps.

      Almost no tactics possible.
