I think this will become a freemium/total MP-oriented again. But let's see.

Cool beans

Awesome!

Now all we need is somebody to make a new EarthSiege game and the Holy Mecha Trinity will be restored.

I'm still hoping they'll put Hercs into Tribes Ascend

Little lord Peter
was missing his leader
While Hercy played in the red.
Down came the gltches
and burned us in ditches
And we slept after eating our dead......

If they do that, I might actually decide to play Tribes!

Amen to that!

To my shame, I've never actually played Heavy Gear.

At least on PC.

I could tell you all kinds of stuff about the DP9 game from the good old days, although I'm told that the current edition of Heavy Gear/Gear Krieg had some teething troubles.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Has anyone ever got the modern HG running on their PC? I picked up the disks off eBay but couldn't get it going. Can't remember if I needed some sort of dosbox config or something

[Sarafan]

I remember HG2 having problems on Win7.

[Akalabeth Angel]

I wish they'd get that stuff on GOG.com, I'd pick it up in an instant. Only ever played the demo for HG1

[Al-Rik]

I remember HG2 having problems on Win7.

Heavy Gear 2 has had even problems on XP.
Some of the Keybindings doesn't work.

StarSiege also had similar problems, but a community patch was made. Has the Heavy Gear community attempted an HG2 patch of their own? (Is there even a living HG community?)
I always remember Heavy Gear being a distant third against the MechWarrior juggernaught and Sierra's well-made Battletech clone.
But EarthSiege 2 is in even worse shape, it can only be played from an early Pentium Processor, no AMD, No Pentium 4s. Straight Up Pentium 1 or 2.

i don't know nothing about the Heavy Gear Community, but the debugging guide is still online:

I think I had a copy of the disc which frequently crashed during some random events on my old WinME computer, and even then it has troubles on XP. Unless that was common.

Hoo boy, stealth in a Mech Gear again. In 2, I pretty much went Gatling Laser/Heavy Bazooka/Very Heavy AC (I liked Anti-Air Cannons because they were accurate and stuff, but they were as loud as crack). Ahh, still reminds me of the days if you get knocked over and a LOT of your HUD elements and other internal equipment went offline. (I didn't bring backup perks, I just bring reinforced internals, Stealth and EXO Armor).

[Akalabeth Angel]

Incidentally I got both HG1 and 2 off ebay years a couple years back, but couldn't get HG1 to work. Maybe there's a fix online I can try out. Couple old games that I Can't get working! darn it PC!

[Colonol Dekker]

The sooner it ends up on Gog the better.

I made sure to hang on to my Aunt's old eMachines eOne - Darn thing got eMachines sued, and so they never made any updated drivers beyond what was on the disc, but it's got Windows 98 and an early Celeron, which means Heavy Gear 1 and most of the other old mech games run well enough.
