FAQs
Does this game support modern widescreen monitors?
It does not support native widescreen resolutions. You may experience 'stretched' images unless you use community-made wrappers or configuration tools.
Can I play this game with a modern controller?
Native support is limited. Most players use keyboard and mouse for better precision, or third-party input mapping software.
Is an internet connection required to play?
No, this is a single-player-focused title and does not require an active internet connection to run the core campaign.
Are there difficulty settings?
Yes, you can adjust the difficulty to manage how much damage your 'Mech takes and how accurate enemy AI is during combat.
How do I save my progress?
You can save your progress from the mission preparation screen or via the pause menu during non-combat sequences.
Troubleshooting
Game fails to launch on Windows 10 or 11
Right-click the executable, go to Properties, select Compatibility tab, and check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'.
Low frame rates on modern hardware
Disable advanced graphical overlays and ensure the game is using your dedicated GPU via the NVIDIA or AMD control panel.
Joystick or controller not detected
The game was designed for legacy input devices; you may need third-party controller mapping software to translate joystick inputs into keyboard/mouse commands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this title was released in 2002, it is designed for older architecture. To install on modern PCs, you may need to use compatibility mode for Windows XP or Windows 7. Ensure your display settings are adjusted to maintain the correct aspect ratio, as the game defaults to 4:3 resolutions. It is recommended to run the game as an administrator. Regularly back up your save game folder, which is typically found within the installation directory, to prevent progress loss during system updates.
