MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat

These steps will only work with the 3dfx editions (other editions do not have the same MW2.DLL).

1. Install the game with MechVM.
2. Copy DPLAY.DLL from the directx folder on the CD to the game's installation folder.
3. Open MW2.DLL in a hex editor.
4. Search for AB AA AA 3F and change it to your aspect ratio (see Common HEX Values).
5. Install nGlide.
6. Run the nGlide Configurator from the Start menu.
7. Set your resolution and ensure the aspect ratio is set to Fit to screen.

Menus and FMV cutscenes always use a fixed resolution.

The HUD will be partly cropped when using widescreen aspect ratios.

Higher resolutions (e.g. 2560x1440) do not work (the mission fails and returns to the menu).
