- The patch file has been compressed to make downloading quicker.
- The resulting file that you are downloading is called an archive file.
- It is about 2.8 megabytes in size, and downloading should take
- about 35 minutes with a 14.4 modem, 17 minutes with a 28.8 modem, or 8 minutes with ISDN
- (depending on how busy the Internet is when you download).
-
- What should I do before installing the patch?
-
- You may want to run SCANDISK and DEFRAG on your hard drive
- before patching to improve game performance.
- It is safest to uninstall Mercenaries and reinstall it before patching. We expect that most people
- won't need to do this, but if you have trouble, uninstall and
- try again.
-
- The patch will cause customized 'Mechs in saved games to revert to standard 'Mechs.
- If you have any customized 'Mechs in saved games, please sell off all of your customized 'Mechs
- before patching.
-
- Copy the patch to MERC105P.EXE in the same directory as Mercenaries is installed in.
- (This is usually C:\MERCS or C:\Program Files\Activision\Mercenaries.)
-
-
- How do I install the patch?</h2>
-
- Extract the updated files by running <tt>MERC105P.EXE</tt>. You can do
- this either at the DOS prompt, or by double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer.
- It will ask you whether to install to C:\MERCS.
