If there's something I don't know please tell me because there seems to be a lot of confusion about the Hi Res patch. I found 2 different downloads for a MW3 hi res patch and they're not the same. The patch above seems to be an older version and doesn't come with a launcher or a readme. The one I'm using has 3 separate folders and a Mech3.EXE and a Mech3 Launcher in each folder along with the .reg files. There's a readme and a manual patching folder as well.
Links below are from my MediaFire.
New patch date: September 2015: Mech3_Widescreen_HiRes_ModOld patch date: March 2015: Mech3HiRes_v1This discrepancy may be problematic for on line gaming. Definitely need a lot more clarification on this issue. Especially when using the weapons mod. I've got a clean install of the mod and need advice on what to do about the RES patch. Also, do I use Glide or D3D or both DLL files?
Here's the content of the "newer" readme:Widescreen/HiRes Mod for MechWarrior3 (beta)
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
Depending on your monitor's aspect ratio extract the contents of the 4x3, 16x9 or 16x10 folder to the Mechwarrior 3 directory. Make backups of the original files if necessary.
Note: The following mods (by AncientxFreako) are currently incompatible and will be overwritten:
-Weapons module
-All previous (old) weapons mods
-Instant Action New Locations
AncientxFreako wants to provide updates to these mods to make them compatible at a later date. Other mods may also be affected.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Manual Patching (optional and unsupported)
Mech3.exe included with the mod is based on the official patch 1.2. If you want to use a different version of Mech3.exe as base, say a no-CD one or EOP's Res Fix, you can try patching that exe with one of the patch tools supplied in the "Manual Patching" folder.
However I won't guarantee that this will always work or not cause any problems!
