Anyone got a link to download a version of Win10 Home or Pro older than 20H2. I play a older game (Mechwarrior4) and it seems version 20H2 doesn't like it.
 

This page has official download links for every major release of Windows 10 going back to 2015. I have it bookmarked since I visit it quite a bit.
 
none of the links in that thread work for me. I posted there also

Hmm, works for me.

Just know that it downloads an ESD file, which you need to use the decryption tool at the bottom of the OP to use.
 

Is this any use?
 
I'm glad it worked out well. :toast:

Odd, I just tried out MechWarrior 3 & MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries a few weeks ago in-between Win10 2004 & 20H2 and it works without issues for me. The issue might be somewhere within your Windows configuration.

If possible, provide screenshot of the error box/notification.
I had my disc turned into an ISO file & installed it from there. Showed no error.

Just on Disc 2 will post results shortly
Okay well it just won't start despite Troubleshooter setting it to XP SP3 compatibility I had a "fix" I tried first to not have to use the discs and that only gets me this error instead but I tried booting from both discs, set up the config before launching no dice. maybe my "fix" is for a patched version I will see

Okay well apparently it's abandon ware now but while looking for possible patches I found this. I guess I will just use that page and resources to get mine running and put my discs away

Mmm... I dunno... I didn't need to use compatibility mode & the error above didn't show up for me.

If you decide to give up on the Disc version of the game, might as well just get the downloadable abandonware version at the links below:








These links are the complete package of MechWarrior 3 & 4 in order of release. See if these work on you PC. It should be noted that I haven't installed any of these myself to try it out if it works or not.
 
as far as my install of MW4 is going, it's working, sometimes. Still something wrong, so we're working on it.

now, as far as MW4 goes, and the we're comment I just made, I actually am part of a small group that still plays the game. I'd love it if you guys would join us. We have a copy of the game available for free DL that is fully patched up to the most recent version of the game released by MekTek. This is our FB group page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/1715982381968791 and this is my MW4 discord server- https://discord.gg/MmmDacqn If you recognize my name from MW4, yes, I am the Barbaric Soul that was on senior staff for MWL. If you don't know what MWL is, it is a currently inactive league centered on MW4. We would love for any of you to come join us and play MW4 with us.

BTW, MekTek is currently working on releasing their MP4 patch for MW4. If this release gets enough people playing the game, MWL can be brought back to active status again.

EDIT: Here's my youtube channel that I have several videos of us recently playing MW4. Fair warning, language can be a little rough. https://www.youtube.com/user/BarbaricMWL/videos

@BarbaricSoul well all I remember is last time I played it my X52 was perfectly mapped with no input from me and well here‘s a bit of nostalgia. But just being ab to plug and play my X52 was pretty impressive. Now I’ll need to find a Res hack to try to get it native or close. I’ll def use that guide rather than fight with my discs. I’m well deep in to CP2077 but I’ll put this on my to die list because it was such a great mech game.
