Greetings MechWarriors,

We will be rolling out a hot-fix later today, tentatively scheduled for release at 2:15 PM PST (10:15 PM UTC), with the following changes:

  • Fixing the issue where targeting markers and boxes were
    • appearing on-screen without any associated 'Mechs
    • remaining on-screen without any associated 'Mechs
    • attaching to the aiming reticle
The currently estimated downtime period for this hot-fix is approximately 1 hour.
When services are restored you will be required to apply a small patch.

This post will be updated with further information and timeframes as needed.

UPDATE: Services have been restored and the patch is up for download.

I wondered why I was taking so much FF laser wash last night... then I realized it was because of the bug with the targets.

Test of the new G-ECM targeting ghosts functionality - complete.

Expect a revamp of the G-ECM system in 90 days, coinciding with the start of our investigation into the Information Warfare pillar and making it not suck.

with these hotfixes is anything being done to ur servers?

I am getting terrible ping spikes jumping from 90 (my usual) to 260+ making the game impossible to play. thanks to the jumps i miss every single shot unless the target is running straight for 2 seconds...

checked my steam connection and origin games and they are working just fine.

any advice here or answers? anyone else experiencing similar issues?

had a similar experience for a few days about 3 weeks ago

Worst bug as of late, thanks for the hotfix... it was so frustrating lastnight with the targeting bugs... and so much friendly fire to boot. Hoping tonight is a huge improvement, thanks Devs :D

Understated as usual. I got killed chasing a countered ECM that was in the opposite direction of the icon on my screen.

Great I just noticed this yesterday. Strangely enough this did not affect my when I played Tuesday after patching. Anyway, glad it's going to be fixed, thanks!

dumb question for PGI and crew....

When are you going to release a patch that doesn't break the game? EVERY patch needs patching and hotfixes for the stuff you are "patching" and "fixing"

No offense, I support you guys and all, but maybe it's time to get real developers who don't destroy code when they add new code, or at least make you wait till they repair it before allowing it to be released.....


OH WAIT, THAT'S IT!!! hire a QA crew to verify coding... I don't know, something about patching the patches patch of the hotfix to the patch is less than professional, let alone acceptable when you are dealing with the public, and in many cases, quite a bit of their money

They have QA, I'm sure, and the coders are also doing a fine enough job. What they likely lack is static code analysis that can catch bugs that are not related to defects in code but are more complex and difficult to spot.

The "it compiles and runs without triggering alarms in the unit testing or integration testing but in certain circumstances has undesired behavior" type of errors.
