I'm getting a bad graphics bug. Half through every match my screen goes to this. These colors flash like a techno dance rave on over drive. Impossible to play through.

getting this as well

[Pakidis79]

Im going to try and bring a little clarity to the madness:

I was in one match where we discovered 2 enemy mechs just standing around, not at their base mind you, walking into walls. So, they had disconnected. After killing the first one, I CTD. After informing my team, 2 others (we were a 4-man using teamspeak) announced that they had also CTD'd at the same time I had. Ergo, your CTD bug is server based issue. That is 5 our of 12 in one match, at least 3 were simultaneous on differing systems. Of the 3 I know of, again my team, were 3 different video cards, not all nvidia or AMD, different processors, some i7 some AMD. So, its related to the GAME, not the user.

Also, someone has posted that the "fractal wars" bug can be reproduced, see above post, by switching from thermal to night vision while alpha striking. Multiple users with different builds reporting so again, not user based issue.

And the neverending match issue. I experienced this bug yesterday 3 times. Ironically, or maybe the cause, in each of those three it was someone in my teamspeak group's first match since the patch....so...that might be something to investigate. MY first match, locked for about 15 min and no exp, another members first match, locked up after final kill, and when another entered and we invited him, 1st match, lock. Again, all different builds with a mix of different components so its not user based.

Very buggy patch, but thermal and night vision are INFINITELY useful and effective now, thanks for that and "pinky" is the sickness! Lovin her. Once we get these bugs outta the way, will be a nice patch. Right now tho, its on the fence...hard to enjoy pinky when shes stuck in neverending matches or im forced to look at my desktop after lining up a shot...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, thermal and night vision are nice, but shutting off randomly and having to reinitialize them.....not so nice. Usually happened to my whole teamspeak when it happened too so.....

• Was any error message provided with the crash, if so, which? No just a black scrren after it showed map loading.
  
• Where in the game or menus did the crash occur? After Loading the Map it just stay black screen.
  
• What steps had been taken prior to the crash occurring? Selected a mech and clicked launch.
  
• Does the crash re-occur for you if repeating those same steps? Yes

....

When black screen occours, alt-tab out of it and alt-tab back. Not a single game when I didnt have to do that when joining.



Haven't changed any settings myself and I have not seen a single game without me or someone else getting bugs/crashing (enememies just ran towards our base without any input from pilot, friendly just running into wall the whole game, no chat until match over screen, no map, UI bugs (not ingame), no targeting info, game freezes everywhere (crtl-alt-del is only way out, for example walking sounds still play after freeze)).

Bugfixes for basegame before adding new content to debug would be nice.

[Saskia]

Three different bugs over three different games.

1.) Was loading up a game, watching players join, the mech types were slowly appearing and some never showed. Game started and even though a full list of names had appeared, only five mech players appeared in game.

2.) Was walking toward other opponent mechs when the entire game just crashed and closed without error notification.

3.) Was in spectator mode and the screen suddenly scrambled with psychadelic colours and shapes and obscured the option buttons. But I was able to just see it and was able to click out and exit.

• Was any error message provided with the crash, if so, which? NO
  
• Where in the game or menus did the crash occur? 1.) Loading Screen where we see the players connecting 2.) during play 3.) a psychadelic scramble of patterns and shapes during spectating
  
• What steps had been taken prior to the crash occurring? 1.) Just loading a regular game, nothing new. 2.) Just playing a regular game, nothing new.
  
• Does the crash re-occur for you if repeating those same steps? Don't want to find out, haven't tried, but I have played three games since the update and had three different bugs.
  
• What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch? No change.
  
• What are your System specs? win7 64, intel i7....

Also, I do not like the changes to the heat and night vision. I do not find the thermal vision useful now. I was really only using it to be able to see better on poorly lit maps. Perhaps a brightness and gamma slider option for in game would be good? As everyones eyes are different. Just a thought.

[BeezleBug]

Game crashes all the time whem i´m in spectator mode and switching between the mechs, bomm back to Desk.
really all the time^^ all the other bugs i dont need to mention anymore....

<p class="quote">

• Crashing to desktop in about 25% of all games, during a match in the middle of heavy combat every time. No message when it happens. It is reoccuring to many people on different cards and platforms. Possible server side issue because of the completely different systems people are experiencing the crash with.

[Yokaiko]

Two CTDs that is the first time that has happened in months.

[Mega Steel]

[DevlinCognito]

Myself and a friend both crashed simultaneously on Tourmaline while walking to the fight at the beginning of the match. The other guy in our group continued playing. No error message, no warning just BOOM! you're out.

[Cest7]

Random CTD mid-game with no error msgs since 1.2.209

[Memo The Rat]

First match I dropped in since patch, we were on alpine headed to the ridge area that people usually square off in, and as soon as I launched my first volley of lrms from my heavy metal, the screen froze, sound occasionally played, and then i crashed out to desktop.

Also in most drops (all but one in testing grounds) my map was not working and/or showing various colored squares.

running the following:
windows 8 x64
intel core i5 3570
16 GB ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 670 w/ 4GB - 314.22 driver

all settings maxed @1440x900 fullscreen

[Daflibble]

Getting lockup at end of round where match screen never shows.
Also getting issue where destroyed and click spectate but it doesn't switch to spectator view it just keeps circling my dead mech.

[Maxx Blue]

Haven't updated my drivers yet (I'm pretty sure they were newer than 311 anyway) but I did get the neverending match bug on my first match out, and I had several instances where I had no minimap and no full-screen map. Well, the direction overlay was there on the minimap, but the terrain layer was gone and the movement/facing indicators never changed direction. Also, when I hit the key to open the full-screen map, I would be unable to move my mech or shoot or anything like it had come up, but never actually saw the map.

[BrokenNachtmahr]

So far the shader crash has not happened to me post patch.

[MasterGoa]

HUD or minimap issues in over half the games...

[Grouchy]

Had a few issues.

1) After being destroyed in a match, the result window was partially filled in. Clicking exit, I was unable to spectate through any team mechs. The cursor and HUD were missing.

2) Mech names missing from team list.

3) Saw a lot of people disconnecting/crashing out.

[Regina Redshift]

Arm cursor stuck to the far left in one match where I launched with my founders Atlas. Made it impossible to aim.

Had my Flame mysteriously keep turning right for about 2 minutes (unless I input a different direction, or attempted to chat). Holding down the 'W' key seemed to straighten that out... maybe?

My IFF HUD froze in place about 30 seconds into a match, and stayed that way the whole match. (It's amazing how much we rely on IFF).

[Frozenrose]

Issues so far:

- Getting stuck in-game after match finishes, either other team getting their 'mechs destroyed or resource cap.
- Long loadtimes, doubled from the last patch. High-end PC, game installed on Raid1 SSD.
- Black screen when map is starting, usually the game has already started when I can join the fun
- Several CTD.
- A lot of rubberbanding. Ping was a stable 130-160, now it's jumping between 160-500 Using CFOS Speed, mwoclient.exe is on high.

Already did a full re-install, newest NVIDIA drivers. Running i7 3770K, Window 8 Pro 64-bit, EVGA 570GTX, 16gig DDR3.

[tailgunner]

I experienced the multicolour bug and the mech stays ingame bug as well.

Here are two things I noticed yesterday that I did not see mentioned yet:

- In one assault game the cap-bars were gone, instead it said "0:undef"

- In another game the keys for chat and team chat ( which I had remapped ) suddenly fell back to the original setting. My other remappings were not affected.

[malibu43]

Had several games without any issues last night. However, this morning, first match my Client just closed and sent me to desktop part way through a match. We were on Tourlamine and had just killed an X5. I restarted my client and my mech is still "in a game".
