What have you guys done to the graphics? I know I play on a low end machine, but I've been able to make it work for quite some time now, since closed beta. After yesterdays patch though you have made this game unplayable for me, this making me especially unhappy since I just spend $37 on MC so I could purchase a new mech which I cannot play now.... Here's a link to a video of before and after graphics.

Your graphics were delicious, so I ate it

[Mason Grimm]

Are you running the latest drivers? I am running a high end machine with a mid range graphics card (I guess the 560 Ti is mid range now) and I was getting errors yesterday until I upgraded to the latest nVidia drivers.

OMG HE HATH SEENETH........URBANMECH!

Thats exactly what one sees when near a Urbanmech.

Do you have the lastest drivers downloaded?

Nvidia 311.xx and less come into graphical issues and need to be updated.


Have you changed anyhing in the user file?


Did you recheck your settings in in-game options?

[Emery Radick]

Also you may want to untweek your config file and give it a shot.

I've noticed a general drop in refinement of the graphics since the last patch as well. Things look like they have been drawn and don't blend naturally with each other in some cases now. You could really see it on the new desert map. I will try to find one of the old "Bug Report Forms" we had in closed Beta, maybe that will get some attention.

Did you check your graphics settings and see if they were all at the level you had them prior to the patch? It reset some of my settings which I had to tweak after patch.

Also delete your shader cache and let it rebuild.

Actually, that looks like he might have a borked skybox. Of course, try updating your drivers first to the latest WHQLs. If that doesn't work, backup the file Skyboxes_ig.pak in your MWO/Game/ folder, and grab a new copy here: http://patcher.mwome...e/Skybox_ig.pak

And please send in a ticket to support@mwomercs.com, if you haven't already.

*Spoiler*

First stages of DX11 support and eye candy. Naturally, because its first development stages are so crude that there are a plethora of bugs on the live patch. Its even worse in the other version.

*Sorry*

Before I even opened the client last night after patching I updated my drivers for my NVidia GeForce gt 630m to 314 because I saw the note in the patch notes about the driver issue. I've been trying to hunt down a stock user.cfg file to replace the one I use now, low end version. I'm dumb when it comes to this user.cfg stuff so maybe I don't have to replace my stock one, I don't know.

User cfgs are generated in game, simply delete or rename the file.

Dude I don't know about you.. but my graphics look BETTER then they ever have..

I was honesty shocked by how sharp it all looks now

[WiIIiam]

Welp, cleared the user.cfg file. Could not get into the testing grounds, tried to launch into them three times, twice with heavy metal, it started the loading screen then the game crashed, third time I tried my founders atlas and it did the same thing. Decided to try a match in the founders atlas to see if it was a testing grounds issue, I loaded in but the graphics were still screwy.

The black screen at load is a separate issue. Lots of people are getting this. Seems to happen worse the higher your ping. It hasn't happened to me at all, but my ping is pretty low. The Australians in my merc corp can't seem to ever get it to not happen.

I think all the mechs look sharper, like they removed that fog that everyone was complaining about

There is a reason there are more object details in the terrain, mechs and yet graphic flickering and artifacting.

Well I've messed with this enough this morning. Time for work, I guess I'll put in a support ticket though I doubt it'll be much help.

Whats worst, is that the game seems to be performing much worst for a lot of people right now. I went from 35-40 fps to 10 and below since the patch.

[zhajin]

Since the patch i have seen all kinds of graphics glitches that are not driver issues. and yes im running a gtx660 and updated the drivers yesterday. this patch broke a lot of things, and it seems to be issues both client and server side.
