Will MM2 work on Win 10 without the patch?

Postby Fuyunyan » Thu Oct 06, 2016 12:54 am

I've been playing BeamNG drive, downloading mods, it's a great and realistic game, but I miss MM2 and I want to play it on Win 10. Will it work the same as it worked on my Vista if I play it on here, or is it going to be worse? And do I have to get the patch in order to play it? Thanks for the help.

Why not getting the patch? Before dgvoodoo there was an overcomplicated process to fix it so I'd understand not wanting to use it, but thanks to JimVanDam its so easy now.

Anyways, answering to your question, it does work, but like crap. You'll get horrible framerates and the game is slower to start up and the maps to load (there was even this weird bug the game wouldn't even open unless you opened a window of another program, for some weird reason.

So, basically: get the fix. It will work like a charm, plus dgvoodoo will even allow some extra features like MSAA, so your game will look so much better with a much more smooth image, and any pc these days can run it at very least in MSAA x2.

Okay, that's great. I didn't want to get the fix because i'm too lazy and OH MY GOD IT'S SO MUCH WORK but hey, i'll do it anyway. Thanks. :)
