While experiencing the crashing/screen lock I happened to check gpu usage which was at 0. I was still hearing the fight so that got me thinking that it is a problem with the games use of the video card. I changed the settings that apply to Mechwarrior only in the card settings. (I have an NVidia card, not sure about AMD cards how to go about this)

The two settings I changed were
Manage 3d settings tab

Program Settings select MechWarrior Online

under setting change

Power Management mode to "Prefer maximum performance"

Threaded optimization to "On"

After playing several matches I have not had any full lockups whatsoever, however, while sholder riding a mech with machine guns whom was shooting an atlas I stuttered whereas previously this would have crashed me. I am hopeful that this may help others, please post if it did or not.

EDIT after several hours still no lockups/stutters

I don't get this often, but it's frustrating when it does happen. I just applied your suggested settings, will let you know how it works out. Thanks in advance!

I tried this.

I crashed 2nd game after changing to these settings.

I've had these settings already set to these values for a long time and I have noticed since the most recent patch the lock-ups have become more frequent.

For those looking for further help, download and run this gem (The MWO Repair Tool)

Anyone else noticed this only seems to happen when MG's are being fired close by?

I was crashing alot when I ran SDR-5K (4xMG). I like to play with steam overlay in use but yesterday I disabled it and got to play about two hours without crashing. Today I enabled steam overlay and crashed on second game. Still, cannot be 100% sure if that has something to do with it, could be a problem with sounds also. (I have an external audio card running ASIO drivers)
