Greetings MechWarriors,

We will be rolling out a hot-fix today, tentatively scheduled for release between 10:00 AM PST and 11:00 AM PST (6:00 PM UTC to 7:00 PM UTC), to resolve the following issues:

• Torso turn speed was not behaving correctly with arm lock enabled
  
• Horizontal arm lock was disengaging when pressing or holding "F"
• Torso was twisting too far when quickly moving the mouse
• Players communicating through VoIP while transitioning from the end of round screen to the home screen would sometimes crash
• Faction Chat was not automatically scrolling when first viewing it
• We are temporarily disabling VoIP functionality until we can resolve a server communication issue

UPDATE: We are using the downtime from this hot-fix to resolve the server and matchmaking issues that cropped up this morning. We are still working on solutions. Further information on when services will be restored will be provided as soon as possible.

UPDATE 2: The hot-fix is out, and includes a server fix for the connection issues that were occurring this morning.

Services have been restored. Upon launching the client you will be required to install a small patch.

Details on the Like a Champion MARK II event extension will also be provided once everything is restored.

Hotfixes for everyone!

Challenge is delayed.

You should've pinned this, I was very confused initially about why the servers were down.

But thanks!

[Flaming oblivion]

I hold out hope you will make the challenge more reasonable.

But also suspect I will be disappointed.

Does this relate to "Failure to find match" as well?

[Ebelon]

Crossing fingers that everything goes well and quickly.

Not for long.

EDIT: And now you just went on record that you cheated and abused the server issues, so yeah...that was smart..

ok first i didn't cheat
2ndly yeah it would be good removing fake death star, and ace of spades and all that headshots and all that c bills right?
But then how about all that time we lost ? And how about the premium time , I wonder :-)

If you can't tell when something's wrong with the server, and you're just taking advantage of a bunch of dicsos....well, then you're an idiot.

If you do know something's up, say, because there's an abnormal amount of discos in the match, well then you are cheating, when you farm them, and knowingly.

If they're willing to take it away from you, you obviously didn't earn it legit...

Not cheating. The term is abusing a known exploit.

Should be easy enough, they have all of the records of the matches. Just remove it for any game in which the enemy did nothing.

And while it's not technically cheating, it's absolutely an exploit.

[Kodyn]

You're right Shin, technicality, but you're right.
