MTM2.com

i think this is where mtm2 is played now
if i am wrong please correct me.

i cannot get to the HQ site as i get a "page could not be displayed error"
can some one either tell me how to play mtm2 or get this program to work (if this is the one people use)

i got similar when i tried to login. when i started using Avant is starting working. I can't explain why.

Have you looked at this page to see if there are any helpful tips

I kind ajust htought of that page as over complicating it. When it finally sstarted loading the pages, it all worked fine. isntall program, choose the game i got (when prompted to do so) then choose the lobby. easy. Finding the launch button, now that was hard.



Edit-
The joining the game in progress, I've never actually tried it but it woulda helped in the last tourny i was in.

(I should read the isntructions but they intimedate me *wimper* "Men don't need instructions" <----lol)

i guess i did not say this clearly but i cannot download the BattleHQ program it's self (the wargamer.com (HQ site) was down)

i see it is back up and i am downloading it now

Thought i doubt i will be any good as i was not when i played befor

Oh, that doesn't matter. I was a slow poke for the longest time so who would have thought I'd win a tourney back in the winter. Sometimes the slow guys can get lucky once in a while. The best part is there's always lots of company at the back of the pack so you're never alone. And sometimes battling it out for last place can be just as much fun as fighting for first. And I know because I'm at the rear more than the front.

Ain't that the truth Phin? I thought I'd never win a race, let alone a tourney. But miracles DO happen. Keep at it Trackster, it just takes practice, practice, practice.

Some MTM2 players hang out and play at www.wgcenter.com trackster if you didn't know about it

LOL only if you want to to be.

You will find me on msn and Battle only these days.

And the tourneys are held at BattleHQ

WGC is another place to play and im only answering tracksters question, its where some of us are. He might not have known about it. Im still happy for you to play at battle hq

Sure, crawfy, but when was that written? I think experience has taught us a few things since that time. I'm not saying anybody should ditch wgc or anything but keeping options open won't hurt anything either.

Hey Phineus, long time! Would be cool to race in the tourneys but the time does not suit unfortunately If only it was saturday afternoon new zealand time... hehe

When was what written?

>> If only it was saturday afternoon new zealand time...

Well, I can go for the saturday afternoon part anyway ;-)


> When was what written?

Beats me :-D

Yes Phineus, once again experience has taught us a great lot, as sad as that can sometimes be. :/

I dont c a reason not to ditch WGC. Obviously WGC opened before it was ready. But I don't think they planned it enough before getting started. And what is it, like 60% of IT projects will fail.

i may have to pull out my wheel some time once i get my computer cleaned out and MTM2 working
man it will feel weird playing mtm2 on a computer that is way over its requirements

At places this thread becomes hard to follow with "edited posts" that are completely deleted, lol.

Here are my 2 cents on the real topic:
Note: my gaming system is Win98se

Unlike WGC which proved to be non-functional for Win98
BattleHQ worked fine with me.
No problems at installation just following the instructions of

I was able to race immediately without further fiddling.

A few tips for those who want to use ZoneAlarm personal firewall:

1) Set the internet security level to medium
2) Allow MTM2 to access the internet and to act as a server (when asked the first time, click "yes" and " remember this setting")
3) Deactivate notification messages (otherwise your game would be interrupted with messages triggered by port scans and the like)
