I am now encountering errors of connection after the most recent patch. I am getting black screen and no loading , then it will sporatically load me quickly and everyone else is engaged in battle already.

Sometimes it dosnt load me at all and crashes. Only been happening since last patch.

Good pc, Australian resident. 280 - 300 ms ping.

It occurs after loading screen shows bar loading progress and completes and goes to load the engine of the game itself

I play on two computers; one at the office; one at home. Radeon 5770 and Radeon 6870. Experiencing similar issues as has been stated here:

* Lots of rubberbanding movement and aiming.
* Slowdown (although I haven't tracked before / after fps).
* No Scoreboard, mech stuck in match
* Random CTD during matches.

Not sure what the drop in fps was but after the patch, I was getting major lag and couldn't hit a thing. Also, at the end of the match, it wouldn't get to the stats screen or release my mech from the game. I have updated my BIOS and video drivers and it appears to be better, but I have only played one match since.

FPS dropped siginificantly.
Extreme drops are more prevelant and go lower then before the patch.

All maps play like Alpine now, especially Tourmaline.

GPU drops to zero load all the time, going into softwaremode.

FPS before patch 20-50 infight. 60-120 out of fight.
FPS now 8 (feels less) -15 infight. 30-80 out of fight.

FPS dropped heavily, game is unplayable for me. Will wait until the next patch.

  How has the patch affected your gameplay?
  
  
  I can't play at all. In the previous patch I could play just fine with no problems. Now a match starts and within a minute I lose all connection to the match as if my internet had died, except it hasn't. It's as if I gain such latency from your servers that it kicks me out entirely.
  
  Before this patch I could play with 100 ping (living in the UK), now it is impossible to play.
  

  · Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.

  
  As I said before, the game simply loses connection anytime I am in a match for up to a minute.
  
  What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?
  
  Settings are on highest, didn't change them at all since the last one.
  

  · System specs (You can include them in a [spoiler] [ /spoiler])

  
  Not entirely sure they're revelant seen as this is a connection issue, but I had no problems playing before and I upgraded my drivers as suggested.
  

  · Your advertised internet connection speed / Geographic location

  
  Middle of England, Fibre Optic connection broadband - there should be no reason I lose connection to your servers due to slow speeds.
  

  · How had the patch generally affected your performance?

  
  The game has gone from one I play on a regular basis and put money in to one I cannot currently play at all. I put videos on Youtube of the game to advertise it and now it's impossible to record the next one.
  
  Unfortunately, until this issue is addressed I will not be playing anymore for the simple reason that I cannot, despite my best efforts.

[EvangelionUnit]

all in all after updateing my grafic drivers the game runs a bit better (still have 30+ FPS so it's fine)

only problems:
- flickering screen when hitting the "launch" button (didn't happend befor)
- sometimes the HUD map fails and the torso twist indicator (didn't happend befor)
- long chat text ingame apprear as allsay AND team say (happend befor the patch too, but was annoying)
- CtD -.-
- rainbow map, die scheiße wird besser und besser -.-

very very bad lag , mechs walking into walls for ever yet i still got the kill. Then it was my turn just kept jumping back and forth in the same spot.

[Wintersdark]

Very bad rubber-banding, even at 60ms ping in a slow moving mech (Heavy Metal). High bandwidth connection, nothing else utilizing it while playing. I've never had rubber banding in MWO before this patch, ever.

Not experiencing that in every match, maybe 50% of them. When it happens, though, the game is largely unplayable.

[James goddard]

Ive noticed a huge drop in performance and not the game is near unplayable My computer is getting a little old and ive been playing with the settings low to get the best out of it ,now however i wont be playing untill its fixed which is sad because ive been really enjoying the game.

[Wilburg]

I actually thought you couldn´t srew it more that it was in fall/winter ... bute yes.
Incredible rubberbands, lags, delays in interaction ... amazing!

Same issue here.

Just adding that the drop of FPS count actually made me feel physically ill, so will try to play again in 4-5 days and will see if I can continue to play or not.

[Dimitry Matveyev]

Have played 4 battles a minute ago. Well, it seem they have done something to fix it. 4 perfect games with smooth FPS, no lag (my ping 128-130), no map or HUD bugs. And I don't have a top PC - AMD 1065, GTX660, 8gb RAM.


UPD: have been to optimistic, most of rounds are fine, but some has lag and fps drop. Also had no HUD in some battles.

[AcidCl0ud]

Game appears to Lag and jump view quite a lot, never had a problem before and have lowish ping 100

[PyckenZot]

The fps thing looks like a memory leak or so. Just did 2 matches great, then 2 subsequent matches that halfway trough dropped fps to <10 fps. Then 4 good ones again,...

[DrKukary]

I had a teamate running next to me on a hill. Somehow he teleported down the hill to shoot me in the back (killing me), then teleported back up and went on his way not even knowing what he did.

[Bootsock]

I'm not normally compelled to comment on the patch feedback, however this patch has rendered MWO pretty much unplayable for me now. Seriously guys, who does the QA on these patches?!

How had the patch generally affected your performance?

- Ruined it, 21 FPS is the best I've seen now, often it drops to 12. Prior to this patch, the frame rate was at worst 21. It's the shocking jumping all over the place which is the killer though, I've only had two barely playable games and these were both on the Tourmaline Desert map. Every other game, terrible - like using a ten year old PC with a 56k dial-up connection.

Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.

- No it starts bad, and deteriorates rapidly when another 'mech appears, which kind of defeats the object.

What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?

- No, latest (non-beta) drivers from nVIDIA, game settings are the same too (low).

Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)

- Average I'd say is 16 in game (absolute max I've seen is 21), menu runs at 20-21 too.

System specs (You can include them in a [spoiler] [ /spoiler])

- Not going to set the world alight, but has been fine up to now. i7-2630QM, 8GB, GeForce GT520M (1GB). 'Windows Experience Index' 6.5.

Your advertised internet connection speed / Geographic location

- Measured using Speedtest.net (not quoted from vendor figures)
- UK ISP
- Down: Best 61.44 Mb/s, Worst 26.40 Mb/s
- Up: Best 15.85 Mb/s, Worst 9.12 Mb/s
- Latency: Best 19ms, Worst 33ms

[Herodes]

Still unplayable here.

Around 7-10 fps (before 20+) and really unsmooth feel, no targeting possible.

Very long delay to arrive on the map, often the others are long gone from spawn, often it stays black and won't start at all.

This is really a terrible experience. Please fix this asap, I can't play !!!!

Constant rubberbanding with no ping or framerate difference from the last version. Currently impossible to play.

Ditto.

[TehSBGX]

The Game is borked to the point when I'mn re-installing. Before th patch I aran th game really smooth Now I drop frames like nobody's buisness.
