Note: Comments suggest that slow performance from the MTX content download system might be improved by forwarding port 57030.

I loved that game. Loaned it to a friend at work, then he quit, and I lost it.

I dunno, I can't get MTX to work.

So, I found the direct torrent to download instead.

Which program is the BS one? MTX? Torrent? MW4?

(This post on VE3D is tracking some of the developments (and difficulties) with the release.)

I guess mostly MTX, it makes the torrent I downloaded for it useless. It can't connect to download anything. It can't even tell I'm on the net.

So I downloaded MTX, installed it. Then I downloaded the torrent file that ends in ".mtx" right? ok so far so good. I load up MTX, and tell it to install the .mtx file I downloaded.. I think it's all good, until MTX tells me I need to be connected to the internet for it to work....basically. Judging by the site you just posted, the MTX servers were hammered and went down so I'll be waiting till they come back up?

I got it to run, I can't change the graphics settings any higher than 800x600, so it looks like crap on my 22" widescreen.

I downloaded the torrent and then added it to MTX and it unpacked and installed it.

I'd like to have the graphics at 1680x1050. Find a site that lets the "options" in the game actually work.
