We hope the community will continue to support us during this very busy time to ensure we have the best possible hardware in place for this release. MekTek is supported through donations from our community and thus far we have received 50% of our goal to cover server infrastructure costs. The release has entered beta status and will be delivered to the world very shortly.

MekTek is not receiving any financial support from the partners regarding this release and obviously no one can quit their daytime job to get the job done faster either. We are also waiting on legal paper work from lawyers and as anyone out there that has worked in the professional industry knows, something of this magnitude takes time on all fronts. We plan to release Mechwarrior4 for FREE when developments are completed and considered stable. Our partners felt an initial announcement was necessary and so did we. The unfortunate aspect of all this great news is that all of these new developments could have been ironed out before the announcement but they were not. We're the best! Here's the most recent statement on the matter: We then also missed the update as to its progress in September. In terms of Mechwarrior 4 getting a second chance to shine, turns out we totally missed the announcement of such back in July. AT1 came down eventually, however, and it's sat on my desktop ready for a play soon. Was super-slow for me, but that seemed to be because it choked my bandwidth by maxing out my upload speed, despite me throttling it in the options. You can grab it by downloading the MTX Bittorrent client/installer thingum, which will also be your means of accessing the MW4 rerelease later. Looks like good, stompy, if slightly murky fun to me. Here's some footage of Assault Tech 1's new version 2.3: As an additional ray of robotic rapture, the MW fan/mod site behind AT1:BT,, are also gearing up to re-release the rather splendid Mechwarrior 4, in its DRM-free, modern-Windowsed entirety. Tech! Apparently, it now looks better than the original, thanks to a revamped DirectX7 engine. First, a major new version of a free remake of Mechwarrior 2 made in Blitzbasic. Not been able to try this myself yet - mainly due to the torturously slow proprietary bitorrent client necessary to download the thing - but there's a whole lot afoot in Mechwarrior land. For the purposes of this post though, it's vintage Mechwarring. Well, triple resurrections, if you also include the upcoming sequel/relaunch.
