Mechwarrior Online (Previously MW5/MW3015)

From what I have been seeing, not only does it jam on single fire, If you have two UAC/5's BOTH will jam if one does.

Heard the same but I've not been playing lately. Considering it's their first implementation of the jamming mechanic, there were bound to be teething issues and I'm not fussed that weapon-breaking mechanics are introduced at this stage, we've got a lot of time to test, fix, test, adjust and test to get them right.

Mainly saving myself from burn out and there are so many decent games out now to fill my time until progress becomes final. Still playing several matches every patch to absorb what is happening and follow the forums, sifting out 95% of the posts for repeats/crying/threatnening/defaming/whinging/trolling. etc.

The next two patches could be huge

not true. my cats uac5s will jam independantly of eachother

That is the definition of a balance issue, not a bug. If it has been set by the Devs in the game files as 33% then it is working as intended for this patch.

I'd wager that it is purposely set high (like C-Bill generation a couple of patches ago) to test the feature at work and balance it in subsequent patches.

Balance issue, not a bug.

I think its a bug(or data entry error) because im pretty sure the devs have said they want it at 10%.

new patch is up! some good things! river city map changed slightly, AC2 5 and 10 now fire faster. More AC ammo per ton! and the biggie cryengine update! DX11 isnt enabled yet, but its a start.
Next week will add a TON.

cant wait to roll out in my 3 AC2 dragon or my 2 AC5 dragon tonight!

DAKKA DAKKA!

Im getting serious lag and graphics/texture issues since the patch. Not impressed.

 

[Elcs]

Latency has doubled. Framerate has dropped. Game looks grainy. Any mech that's been hit lights up like a Christmas Tree.

I love beta testing Some real problems I can report on!

Tried deleting my Shader Folder. No improvement. Going for the reinstall now.

Let me know if that works, i will try when i get home as well. I only had one game before work and was on forrest colony and went fine for first 2-3 min then went slideshow on me down to 2-4 FPS and stayed that way for rest of game. I usually get 45-60 FPS and have never had game drop below 25 FPS before.

I usually get 45-60 FPS and have never had game drop below 25 FPS before.

Seemed to improve things but there is some sort of issue still. FPS is not hitting the heights it should and still dropping lower than it should. Server doesn't seem to be liking the changes either and giving people jumpy mechs, stuttering and lag-like symptoms without bad latencies (i'm back down to 100-150ms, which is normal).

Recommend adding ' r_HDRDigitalNoise=0 ' to your User.cfg. It seems to have cleaned up some of the irritating film grain at closer distances.

I expected this patch to be a bit of a setback in performance and stability so I'm not too phased by it all. Changing engine versions was always going to be a difficult task at best so there's room for improvement for next week (with DX11 perhaps, though with the severity of issues presenting themselves this week, I'm not sure we'll see our big, game changing patch next week unless their fixes are easy to code up).

 

[HydroSqueegee]

yep. new patch introduced lots of new quirks. the random stuttering fucked me over at least once last night. could have won, but couldnt shoot or move straight in a 1 v 1 final dual in my jenner vs a cat. oh well.
the jerkyness is bad and very random. still, at 1600x1200 with everything on low it plays smooth. I need a new 1080p monitor so i can run at a lower native resolution and push the details up. but thats not going to happen.

i like that you can see way across the map now. makes AC2 sniping way easy. Even AC5's shooting far beyone their effective range can put some hurt on.

Dragons. Dragons everywhere last night. Lots of AC love from lots of players.

Pilot skills are worth it now... until they change again. Back to focusing on my cat builds to get experiance up to the elite level. cant decide on a 3 model though. Maybe troll with a streak Cat-A1 or a srm6 C-4. Need to be sure about my choice though. Not much playtime, so not much money. only 6mil to spend currently and want to get my hands on the new mechs as they come out.

3AC2s all fired together = shitloads of heat. Chainfire those mofos and a heat efficiency of 0.54 is plenty. god they fire so fast now. its fantastic.

Apparently this is just tooltip information only and they're still only giving the 2.5%/5.0% benefits.

Not really much of a rumour.

Russ and Bryan announced the game will be going into Open Beta soon on the website. http://www.dualshockers.com/2012/10/10/mechwarrior-online-open-beta-will-begin-next-week/

UGH

Game is not ready for open beta. So stupid. Does my premium time take effect immediately or does it wait until I log in before the clock starts?

 

[child of wonder]

Too bad my son keeps getting himself grounded from his computer. He's really been looking forward to Open Beta.

Would like to know as well. My guess is it clocks in immediately, but bad news is I don't have enough time to play this and the 3-4 other games I just bought.

 

[Fallen Kell]

This game is not ready for open beta with the bugs that popped in this week. I mean they just changed engines! They need at least 1-2 more patches (at the fix rate they have had for changes) before they go open beta. The stuttering and current graphics issues need to be fixed BEFORE open beta. If they are not, they are pretty much killing themselves!

People in an open beta are pretty much expecting just to do final server load testing and some minor gameplay balance fixes, not deal with game-breaking graphics slideshows. If they see that in open beta, you won't see those players again for 6-8 months and only if some other game has not come out in that timeframe which interests them.

 

[Rifter]

Say goodbye to MWO guys, open beta on the 16th. One game mode, 4 maps, and a broken matchmaker.

Game will fail withing first 6 months.

And no thats not a troll post for those wondering, the game in NO WHERE NEAR ready to launch and has no where neat the promised/planned launch content.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Ya that's bullshit. Ignoring the bugs, this game completely lacks the content to stand on its own currently.

The bugs are what gets me, they release a engine upgrade patch that breaks the game for many people(me included) and then next week decide to launch? i mean really WTF are they smoking.

Im now limited to starting every game in my gausscat because its the the only mech i can do damage fast enough from far enough away in to contribute kills to win matches within the first 2-3 min, which is all the time i have on forrest colony or riverside before my framerate tanks into the low single digits.

I wasnt even counting on them working out all the engine bugs by next week and now its launch, yay us.

Yup. I would say it is not much out of alpha at this point...barely at the point where it should be released to closed beta. Open beta/release? Hell no.

 

[sushicide]

Don't care how they wanna name their development phases, but I sure as hell ain't gonna waste my premium time on this state of the game.

I dont think we are being given a choice in the matter.

 

[KaOTiK]

I got a refund the other day as I wasn't too happy with the way things were going and looked to be heading. Looks like with open beta coming out in not even a week I made the recall and don't regret the decision now. Shame really.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Yeah, up until this patch I was debating which founder's pack to get. I told myself to wait since these next two patches were supposed to be big. Glad I waited.
