I am setting up a Mekmatch server out of my residential line for the interim. Will post reg file for you to run to set ip to my machine.
we had 100,000 simultaneous hits early this morning massive hardware failure at ISP, router died, they want $2,000 from us to get us back online. I got a few bucks. The MTX started to fail because the hardware was starting to die.

Far be it from me to tell you guys what to do but I would start blitzing some of the major gaming sites comments and forums to do some damage control. Ppl are convinced its MTX and dont know why the site is down.

MECHWARRIOR IS BACK! MEKTEK CRASHES HARD DURING RELEASE!
The web server is back online and we have a new version of MTX available.
The new version brings with it an offline mode, allowing you to install games and updates when the web servers are down. A critical flaw in our design pattern has been addressed where MTX would fail when our servers went down. There are risks involved with installing and updating in offline mode as the client can't verify the files to make sure they haven't become corrupted, but it does give you the option if you wish to install when the web server is unavailable. If the files are corrupted, you will have to re-download and reinstall in order to connect to servers running the correct version. If you already obtained the MTX patches else where then you should be able to download and install those patches with MTX by using the Browse > Open *.mtx function.
The router has been replaced, if you have the MTX client it will start the downloading process.

We are very aware that some of you are having problems using MTX to download and install the free release of Mechwarrior4: Mercenaries. We are currently preparing a self extracting executable to install the game without using MTX.
This new release will require a new download, but should alleviate any of the issues of installing via MTX.
This new release will contain some bug fixes for Mercs, and we will prepare a patch for those of you who have been successfully installing and updating via MTX as well as executable patches to bring any version previously downloaded, up to date.
Once this new version clears our beta team, it will be made available for download in your BitTorrent client of choice. Please be patient as this may take a few days.
We will continue to work on ironing out the bugs in MTX, until then, we will provide an alternate way to acquire the game and updates through the self installing executables.

MTX File Extract and Patch Utility
Posted by Vam, Friday, 07 May 2010 22:18 Comments(0), Read all Important MTX Update:
For those of you having difficulty with our MTX client we are providing a MTX File Extract and Patch Utility.
This utility can be used to Extract and Patch your free Mechwarrior4 installation should you have difficulty with our MTX distribution client. This utility must be used to install patches in sequence therefore you should not patch out of order (example: .0017 then .0018 then .0020). For all new installs you must install the "all to .0017" file first.
This utility is accompanied with a Readme file which are encouraged to read.
Based upon all of the valuable input we have received, we are working hard to bring you an updated version of the MTX Client for patching purposes that we believe will work for everyone shortly.
In this patch we are including a catchall .0021 patch, which, if you are starting from scratch you can skip patching entirely and go right to .0021. If you already have any of the previous versions installed, including .0017 to .0020, then please download the necessary patches for your version. You have two patching mechanisms available for .0021 including a MTX patch which can be used with the MTX Extractor as well as a Winpatch which is a standalone patching tool. These patches are a bit heavier in download size because they contain full versions of several files seen in the wild as corrupt. These patches should clear up plenty of problems for plenty of people.
Use of the MTX Extractor is strongly encouraged for those more technically inclined. Make sure you have the most up to date version of the Extractor installed as a critical issue has been corrected in the Extractor software.
At this time we are not providing a http download option for these patches and you are encouraged to download the patch via torrent. You can use your favorite torrent client and install each patch via the MTX Extractor. Be sure to patch in sequence!
