A few games later:

My selected mechs are gone and my mechlab too.
Cant select it to choose a mech.

[Xendojo]

The previous unstable version was better than this even more unstable version.

[Springbok]

Roll back plus a MC / premium time refund for every day lost due to this half-arsed patch

[cepera]

Rollback or hotfix plz!

Just want to play with at least the same stability before this patch.
If it is a rollback or hotfix, doesn't matter so much for me, as long it is ready tomorrow morning european time (Last day of my holidays )

I have crashed three out of the last five matches, HUD has had some kind of glitch each game, one match wouldn't end, had one screen freeze-up (had to hit ctrl-alt-del to get out), and once I crashed to desktop (which I have never done before)! I have AMD graphics card, drivers completely up to date. And yes I have premium time burning.

[Bad Andy]

rollback, hotifx, who gives a ****. game is unplayable, fix it.

[Duncan Morales]

sry but this patch is ridiculous...


nightvision is great but the rest, sorry is realy bad

game freeze = no money or XP
blackscreen at gamestart = gamecrash
heatview and thermal view disapear without any user input


I don t understand much from QA but what did these guys test befor release of the patch?

[mariomanz28]

As much as they probably should roll back the patch, they really can't. Hundreds of people (or more) have bought the Heavy Metal, new camo, and the new cockpit items. They would have to remove all the new items from every single player's account that has them otherwise cause a catastrophic database problem or have to roll back the player database to before the patch which would have it's own set of consequences.

That being said: This is why you don't charge REAL money for items in BETA. Everyone throws around the word beta as an answer to all the problems yet PGI charge real cash for things like it's a retail product. I have been a beta tester for several games and not ONE has charged for items until the game was released as retail. It just doesn't make sense, they want us to test stuff but then have to spend real cash for some items to BETA TEST. Every other game I have beta tested has been like this Closed Beta->wipe->Open Beta->wipe->Retail and start charging for items. During open and closed beta all items would be in game currency and easily obtainable for TESTING, you know, since that is what you are supposed to do in a BETA TEST.

If you want this to be an open beta test like it's supposed to be, fine don't charge real cash for things we are supposed to be TESTING. Otherwise stop calling it a beta and call it what it really is: a royally screwed up retail game labeled as beta as a scapegoat for the otherwise inexcusable state of the game.

[Rinkata Prime]

So bad patch, damn. No release control? No tests?

[Elbola Ierocis]

Hotfix, not rollback.

Also the random loss of minimap, battlemap, IFF, HUD.

I can live with getting stuck in a mountain, if it means I can still at least collect my win/loss xp/cbills and my teammates can lure folks back to fight near the the AC20 turret stuck in the hillside.

[danger uxo]

Game was running much more smoothly in prior patch; in addition to performance decrease I've also experienced HUD bugs (missing capture status bars, screwed up mini map), late game starts (one match I didn't start the game until a minute and thirty four seconds into the game) and no response to pressing enter after entering text in the chat box in game.

[FREDtheDEAD]

Black screen every time. Omicron logs show a million errors: missing assets, texture errors, thread freezes and so on. Will try reinstalling from scratch but its a 1.5GB download! Argh!

[Khai Bobe]

Black screen, takes 5 to 6 minutes to resolve...extreme rubber banding and teleporting, weapons fire delay....dont tell me about drivers i am running an amd card. Never had a problem before this patch. ROLL IT BACK!

[Dead Raven]

Yes for rollback.

[BA Dillard]

Since I am not having any of the stated buggy-ness, except for not having a mini-map a time or two, I say no. The mini-map deal was happening before this patch anyway.

[Marauder IIC]

Rollback or Hotfix!!!

Played 7 matches:

3 times crash to desktop without error message
1 time no UI
1 time no map and UI bugs
