Ever fancied rampaging down a Japanese city street in your own four-story high suit of molten-metal Armor? In Shogo: MAD, you can choose from four ultra powerful transforming Mobile Combat Armor suits, each with its own advantages and strengths.

Then battle more than 20 enemies who want to survive as badly as you do. State-based AI and custom scripting force you to think before you act. Fortunately, you will have some help from your friends. Allied AIs may back you up or require your protection in certain missions. Featuring a gripping story, characters you will grow to love or hate, and goal-oriented level design pull you into the experience, Shogo presents you with a truly classic, cinematic experience.

Thanks for this!
Works better than my own attempts, but there are still serious issues:
- Almost every time I try to launch the game, a small black window appears and then closes, and that's it. I got the game to launch twice out of about 20 attempts.
- I can see a flickering mouse cursor.
- Mouse is super-sensitive and jerky. Fixed by turning polling rate down to 125Hz from 1000.
- Text in upper-left corner is messed up, making it barely readable.
I think part of my problem is that I have a laptop with Intel and nVidia GPUs. Seems to confuse the game horribly.
Hi there! I've definitely seen the flickering mouse cursor, though I usually ignore at. As far as I know there's not really a way to get rid of it, unless you go to your mouse cursor settings and set it to be invisible. Though that's probably too much effort for such a minor thing, unless it's really that bad for you.
As for the other issues you mention, I can't say I've experienced them and I've used these patches on two different computers now with the same results. I've never had issues launching the game, even when I didn't have the patches on it would still launch. Then again I don't use a laptop, only desktop computers. Your PC having two GPUs from different companies would indeed cause problems. I assume that's why these things are happening.
I might suggest trying to put the game in Windows XP compatibility mode, or compatibility mode for another OS. That may fix it. Maybe also try running the game as administrator? Might also be worth looking through the Display settings at the launcher and seeing what it's set on. It should be set to dgVoodoo.
Sorry I can't really be much help I'm not sure what to do about those issues. I can only assume it's because of your computer and Shogo is a fussy game when it comes to that stuff.
Thanks for the follow-up.
I read somewhere that there might be a DLL fix for the cursor issue, but I didn't chase it down because I had already given up on the launching issue.
I had already tried all those suggestions with no improvement. The good news is that I recently rebuilt my old computer (PIII-550, Geforce 2 MX, Win98SE) and Shogo is running fine on it.
Ah, that's good to hear then. Shogo really is a fussy game on modern hardware. So is Blood 2 which runs on the same engine.
The dll that fixes the mouse issue is dinput. :)
- you can fix the flickering mouse cursor by using the dinput.zip at the bottom of this thread : Github.com
- I just turned down the sensitivity in-game
- you can fix the broken text by turning off ClearType in windows settings. If you're a lazy f** (like me), you can install karoplan's cleartype-switch program : Karpolan.com and create a dirty .bat file that will turn off ClearType when launching shogo and back on once you're done. Here's mine (make sure to change the addresses) :
"D:\outils\ClearType Switch\ClearTypeSwitch.exe" s+ c-
"D:\jeux\Shogo - Mobile Armor Division\Shogo.exe"|more
:waittofinish
timeout /T 2 /nobreak >nul
tasklist /fi "IMAGENAME eq client.exe" /fo csv 2>NUL | find /I "client.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" goto waittofinish
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" goto end
:end
"D:\outils\ClearType Switch\ClearTypeSwitch.exe" s+ c+
Nice to see people that still play this game!
cool thank you, if I could do mods, I would love to reanimate this wonderful game
I can only draw
I tried to download this but Chrome warned me that it was a dangerous file, I decided to keep it anyway but then Windows Security stopped it again claiming there was a Trojan file in it.
Should I disregard these warnings or is something wrong?
Disregard the warnings, it would be because it's packed in a self-extracting WinRAR installer and for some reason browsers and anti-virus software always go nuts with those things.
Does this patch also fix the FOV or no?
I think the widescreen patch already does that, I'm not 100% sure but I never had any issue with the FOV.

ATTENTION EVERYONE: There is actually a fix for the flickering mouse cursor, check here: Gog.com
My anti virus software warns me its not safe then deletes it.
It's because it's a self-extracting winrar exe, and for some reason they always make anti-virus software go nuts. There's no virus I assure you, Moddb wouldn't allow the file to be uploaded if it was.
