WARNING: THIS MOD IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY, ENEMIES ARE DEADLIER AND THAT'S INTENTIONAL!.
You DO NOT need to download CAB separately, except when instructed to do so by the dev/support team in a ticket.
If you are experiencing spotty internet connectivity, select PreCache option.
The PreCache option is updated infrequently and contains *most* of the install cache.
It will grab the install cache during installation - THIS CAN TAKE A WHILE AND LOOK LIKE HANGING.
The Default download will download ONLY the launcher.
Download the latest RogueTech Launcher which you can get from ModsInExile.
Disable cloud saves for the Battletech game in Steam.
RT is a mod, and is therefore dependent on BT to run.
The Battletech game must be installed before you attempt to install RT.
Make sure you have all the latest Windows updates.
Removing this cache will mean you will have to download an entire new copy of the mod every time we update.
Our launcher requires to maintain this workspace to deliver smaller updates to you.

Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ GTX 560 Ti or AMD® ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 (1 GB VRAM).
Without access to source code, we cannot correct/workaround.
The additional page file requirement is for stability due to a Unity Engine bug/problem (game will dump entire contents of RAM into pagefile for no reason).
RogueTech is 15x the size (and growing) of original HBS BattleTech, and we've already optimized what we can.
Any less and the game will crash, often failing to complete even the first mission after load.
Memory: 16 GB RAM + 24GB static pagefile.
This can cause AI to do nothing on their turn after sitting for the limit of 40 seconds.
Any slower and AI has trouble finishing calculations for VTOLs and LAMs.
