Beta v1.0 for MechWarrior: Living Legend is finally out! Crysis has put up a torrent where you can download and seed this free project. But first, you must know some important details about this release.

First, on the controls. Crysis has released a key map for the beta, and I reckon it would do you good to take a good look at it.

Installation instructions are right below. As for the download, just follow the Via link to head to the torrent. More details on the mirror sites are over at MechWarrior‘s official site.

Requirements

Crysis installed and patched to 1.21

Directions

Upon downloading the mod you should have an archived directory.

This directory should be extracted to your Crysis install Directory which usually looks like “C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis”

Replacing Action-Maps

In order to get yourself up to date with the latest key commands to access all the functionality you want, you will have to grab them from the latest XML file provided in the MWLL BETA v.1.0 archive entitled.

1) Beta Testers – after installation, copy the file “example_actionmaps_for_joystick.xml” (EVEN IF YOU DONT USE JOYSTICK)

2) Paste this file to your Crysis profile found in – My Documents\My Games\Crysis\Profiles

3) You will have to paste to both profiles (if you have another one besides the default Crysis)

ensure you do this in both the default and YOUR PROFILE directory
My Documents\My Games\Crysis\Profiles\default\actionmaps.xml
My Documents\My Games\Crysis\Profiles\Criminal\actionmaps.xml

4) Finally delete your old “actionmaps.xml” and rename the copied “example_actionmaps_for_joystick.xml” to “actionmaps.xml”

Launching the game

You may launch the game using the MWLL Laucher

MWLL Launcher.exe is contained in Crysis\Mods\mwll folder

Alternatively you can add a –mod mwll in the target of a shortcut to the crysis executables. It will look like this “”C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin64\Crysis.exe” -mod mwll”
