I have some questions about this pack that may have saved this game on current PCs. I wonder who did it? why? I will look into this. Have you guys gotten MW3 to work fine on your current PCs without the Quadrilogy pack?

I've looked at some of the installation procedure without installing, and during the install there are some informational blurbs. I get the impression the people who made this are Russian, and since they are foreign they may be beyond the jurisdiction of copyright laws or consider themselves to be. I would keep copies of this in case it gets shut down. It seems to incorporate files that are fixes for enabling better gameplay on current machines, which is great. And you ask why, if you could do this...why wouldn't you? Obviously they are fans of battletech who are equally as frustrated as we are that these games were made obsolete by the powers that be in the intellectual property world.

I've had mechwarrior3 and 4 working on my pc. But by "working" I mean "playable".. For some reason I always get FPS issues. I'm downloading the quadrology repack now. Curious if maybe it has some compatibility patches in it or something.

Vsync refresh of your monitor needs to match the games max refresh rate which is 60hz. if your monitor supports higher refresh rates and is set higher than 60hz you will experience lag like issues(frame rate drops) iirc

Pretty sure Peri is right here. I know it's the same case in other games. Those refresh rates have to match.

One issue I am having with the Quad Pack is I can't install Freako's mod or anything to the game. Might just be me. I am doing experiments today to see.

After experimenting, it seems the Quad Pack doesn't easily let Freako's Mod work. It seems it makes a different install path than what is normally required. Good news for me is my game works now randomly off a CD install AND I have Freako's mod working.
