I too am experienceing random teleporting/rubberbanding.

I use a Raven so things go by pretty quick, but one second I'm running between buildings and the next second I'm running against a building 20m to my left. I was even standing still on top of a hil and the next thing I know I'm on the ground. It doens't seem to be an FPS issue or a latency issue.

Ping is always 120 or lower usually around 80. Haven't checked my fps but I haven't had any graphis slowdown since the client had the memory leak many patches ago.

No experience like this, until this patch. Also this issue seems intermitent some matches work fine and others are really effected.

Actually I'm leaving on a trip so I installed this on a spare laptop and it's running an intel graphics chip. Needless to say it only gets up to 9-10 FPS in the menus (!!!) which is terrible. If you could, can you expand the graphics support to cover the other card manufacturers (not just ATI and Nvidia).

Tried rolling back to previous Nvidia driver (322.07) . . . no difference, still an unplayable 10 FPS or less. (Card is only a GT430, but it was giving 25FPS or so before the latest patch; nothing to brag about, but at least the game was playable. Card didn't change, so it WAS the patch that fouled things up.)

BTW, pings are typically in the 50-60 ms range.

Waiting for some kind of a response from the devs . . . only hear crickets. :P

Have the devs decided they simply don't want anyone on board unless they have a "new" heavy duty gaming machine?

I experience "MORE" bugs now than before. Map bug, IFF bug, random freezing, 4fps bug, crashing. But hey it's "BETA" right.

Oh and by the way, here's more sales for you to spend mc on.

When I go piggybaging, as in my Trebuchet jump jets on friendly Atlas' or Stalkers head and stays there for long, it triggers a bug. I can't see the triangles over enemy or friendly mechs or the target locks or the names. I can't tell who is who. I don't know the name of the bug but it's very common at the start of matches even without piggybaging.

Good news: no bugs, no crashes

Bad news: Taking huge FPS drops on pretty much every match, down into the teens for framerate and gameplay feels "choppy".

Low spec system, but I've been playing fine since june. This recent patch has really, really, really hampered my performance and ability to play.

when i try and "launch" into a game its a ~60% chance it will black screen and dump me back to the mech lab. i am also getting network error warnings and not getting into the game about 50% of the time. ping 300. Australia.

Im seeing some odd occurances like my 10 ping jumping to 64ms for some matches and holding there. in such matches I can fire and hit a guy, and he doesnt die, but then 1-4 seconds later it says i killed him. def odd, may be due to rewinds?

Problem: FPS drop from 59 to 30-40
Problem: In frozen city map, when its snow / in yellow map with crater in center of it(not sure whats name of that map) after last patch, when i use heat vision in frozen city when its snow, my fps drops to 2-5 as snow now lags like a ****, before patch i never got any fps drop, same in snow map night, same problem, fps drops to 30.

In that crater map now steam clouds kills all fps, didnt have any problems before patch.


Have gtx 640 1gb video, 12gigs of ram, AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4Ghz.

So on all best settings before patch i had 59fps max. Now all maps have atleast 10fps drop on any map in any mode.



Only thing that i had before patch, was random fps drop in frozen city, but could fix by leaving heat vision and getting back heat vision.... not anymore


PS: other problem is, that fater patch req alot more time to get in to game, not sure is thats the problem with new patch, but pretty often it takes more than a minute to get in to the game.... plus more often teams dont get full player team, and almost every game someone gets dced.

I can run game on Max settings at constant 60 fps and my ping never goes above 30\

However i get rubber banding in 90% of the matches since apr 2 . Has there been any changes that may delay traffic ?

  • How has the patch generally affected your performance?
It's about average for me between the good and bad patches.
  • Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.
During the occasional hud-related bug (almost always map related), there's a drop in several FPS, sometimes to the point of gaining about 20 FPS by turning off the hud.
  • What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?
Very high, all settings maxed. I'm aware barely anything beyond medium actually works.
  • Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)
60 FPS at almost all times, however after running the game non-stop for several hours it tends to go down to 49-ish. Lowest FPS was on River City day during a hud bug, 37 FPS.

Below is bolded to make sure it gets attention. Sadly I was not able to start fraps fast enough to catch this bug.
While my own performance is pretty much on par with most patches and only slightly degraded, I have noticed that some nvidia users within my merc group have been suffering with I7 quad core processors and Nvidia GTX 690s.

Before I started playing today (April 22nd 2013), group members had been talking in teamspeak about being in the middle of the map and suddenly being "out of bounds" and dying. Others were being shot out of nowhere, and unable to see comrades fighting things despite them insisting they were fighting and spent x amount of ammunition with no hits landing.

I jumped in to see what was going on. One of the two had quit. The other remained and invited me to a group. As I was playing he said he was behind me, I turn around and he is not. He could see everything I was doing but according to the map he was still at base and had never moved. "I'm standing on Gamma in front of you right now." (the enemy base on River City in conquest) I said back that I don't see him. "I'm shooting you." Said back that nothing happened. I also said that I see him at 1,328 meters away, and his health percentage is going down rapidly. "Yeah, I'm taking hits like crazy but I don't see any enemies. Welp. I just got killed by nothing. My corpse is at your feet." Nope, no it died at our base.

This was a rather strange bug, and it had happen to both players on and off for two matches in a row for the one that quit, and a third match in a row for the one who played a round with me.

My mech seems to teleport randomly. It's never actually where I see myself. Enemies ignore me when I'm standing right in front of them and then I teleport somewhere far away. Target, vision mode, and zoom keys are unresponsive and enemies don't take damage when I shoot them. In summary, I'm seeing massive connection issues. All the while the game reports my ping as low as 38.

I also have this issue. Just to test it, I spent the entire match in the middle of the enemy mechs. I followed one Mech the entire time, shooting him with my lasers and SRM. I followed him until another player destroyed him when I should have done so 3 times over. When i finally gave up, suddenly my SRMs, which had not actually fired the entire time, started firing repeatedly. No animation, just audio and my heat spiking. Likewise, my LRMS started firing as well. My AMS fired constantly until it was empty even with no missiles in the air. On top of that I had none of these problems until I purchased the STK-3F. Since then I've had nothing but issues playing the game.

High Ping? Low Frames? Tell us about it here!

Please attempt to respond to the following questions in your responses:
  • How had the patch generally affected your performance?
  • Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.
  • What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?
  • Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)
  • System specs (You can include them in a [spoiler] [ /spoiler])
  • Your advertised internet connection speed / Geographic location



Frame rate seems significantly lower. Maybe 20% lower or more.
I don't think any specific points in the game cause it. As soon as I drop in my mech the frame rate is lower than pre-patch.
Video settings are all at the lowest settings. I use 1024x768 too.
Average FPS at the drop location is about 20 frames per second.
System specs: 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-3210M + Intel HD4000. I think 4 gigs of RAM
Not sure about internet speed. It's a cable modem service though. I'm in Houston TX

  • How had the patch generally affected your performance?
MASSIVE rubber banding. One second I am moving, the next second I am back to where I started. I can't leave the starting area.
WHEN I DO move, I am actually not where the game thinks I am. I shoot people, they dont respond to me, they dont see me, they dont get damaged. I am in some other part of the map according to the server, even though I am visually in a diff place.

The game is unplayable. I cannot join fights, target enemies, use hud functions (night vision, heat vision). I can't move in the direction I want to move, I don't cause damage, and I often walk out of bounds.
  • Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.
From the beginning of the match till the end.
  • What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?
I am on Medium resolution settings, and I have not changed anything since last patch.
  • Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)
I don't have this information readily available, however I estimate in the 30-40 range for the previous patch, and similar for this patch. Really this seems like a latency issue.
