Hey everyone,

We have identified an issue with the Nova chassis that may be causing the match-wide FPS issues seen after the release of the October 9th patch.
It looks like an animation bug was introduced into the Nova chassis as a result of the release of the NVA-D [L] variant.

We are aiming to release a hot-fix for this on Tuesday, but if anyone sees this problem in matches where there are no Nova's present (such as in a coordinated Private Match), please let me know through a post in this thread.

UPDATE 10/13/2015.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to issue a hot-fix to resolve this problem. However, a fix is currently on-track for the October 20th patch. I will keep everyone updated on the status of the fix leading up to patch day.

Since patch the following issues have shown up. Sounds such as Betty and target lock going out (audio drops), UAVs not showing up on battle map by team. Phantom green & yellow lines like med laser fire showing up randomly and a red frame in center of screen pops up now and then.

Fwiw, the issue where there are no weapon sounds for some mechs you spectate has been around since at least one patch prior to this one.

I play for the most part on the North American server set to Skirmish, what server (s) and game modes do you play?

My problem has been on every map :/ I will, unfortunately, not play until this is fixed. With horrible games the past couple of days, because of the dramatic drop in FPS, Overwolf telling me my FPS was at the lowest 5 then 8 for about 5 seconds, was very discomforting. Please fix this as soon as possible :)

How the Nova D (L) is being exploited:
Exploiters run a group with Nova D and the rest of the players in the group have been found to not be affected by the bug. Nova D suicides during the match and the rest of the group mops up all the frozen players and farms Cbills/XP.

Damn you PGI!

Why did PGI let that crap NOVA L ingame?
PGI knows about that NOVA L is killing the frames!

Lost a damn good match just because of that crappy NOVA L by dropping my frames down to 2.5!

I am realy mad bout PGI´s politics in this case!

Most games I would have abandoned by now, but I need my 'mech fix. This relationship with PGI is an abusive one. :wacko:
