I don´t claim owner rights of all informations and files i have created while modding and working on this game. Anyone is free to do with it what´s desired. I love to test new game improvements and evolving old retro games. What i have done on MechCommander is my tribute to one of the best Real-Time-Tactics games i´ve ever played. I don´t feel offended or betrayed when someone is using my Version - i would be honored.

MCG Darkest Hours - Guide - you are here!
MCG Darkest Hours - Full Version (all versions)
MCG - Downloads on modDB
are all officially hosted by owners of everythingbattletech.com
Without this website & forum there won´t be a single version of mod or a full version standalone for MechCommander. Only after given a new home by it's owners all MechCommander content would be actually permanently offline. Therefore i dedicate MechCommander Gold - Darkest Hours - with all content to everythingbattletech.com, AceTimberwolf and his crew. If changes are desired i admit my help to make them. My only attempt on MechCommander is and was all-time = FUN!

Any ideas why not getting any sound?
DirectPlay must be active. Some sound settings can be manually modified in the prefs.cfg file (main folder, open with notepad).
Otherwise it may be that your sound drivers are used by other apps which collide with Mc. Close all other apps that have access to sound drivers and give it a try.
you are a godsend, sir !
i played the original game a lifetime ago. ditto the sequel.
endeavoring to download now in competition with three zoom meetings.
i hope you and yours are safe and well.
Sorry for delay. Yeah all is fine here. Rizzen over and out!
Thank you for the good vibes!!!
