I didn't have sync or rubberbanding before the patch, but since the patch I have been disconnected from half the games I have tried to play so far. Also had a screen freeze, but corrected itself after I minimized the game window and brought it back up.

Hello!

After the hotfix was patched into my MWO client, every time I try to launch a mech I get "The session was lost" at the match loading screen. It hasn't let me play a single match.

Currently I literally can not play, it wont let me.

Please fire everyone and close shop LOL this is so bad

[Dolomite]

Crashed to desktop 5 seconds into first match. During that short time I did notice a big frame rate drop on Forest Colony map. I don't know if they are related or not.

Second match was fine. Frame rate seemed back to normal. No mini map or mechlab problems in first two games.

I thought the game was at least somewhat playable before, but now after two patches this game is unplayable and undesirable to play at all. I'm jumping ship in a few weeks if this is all we can look forward to, also pretty disappointed that the patches besides making the game that was already a lack luster game even worse, and no changes to weapon balancing.

*slow claps*

I'll take my money elsewhere thank you.

It is beta and it really is a BETA. Take a break relax play something else. Come back at launch and give it a try see if they have sorted things out by then.

How 'bout some premium time reimbursement. This is ridiculous. You guys need to have premium time pause after every patch so we can play a few games to see if it is stable enough to restart it.

[Joe Decker]

I also have to say last Week I could at least play the Game from Time to Time, today after the new Patch the Game crashed EVERYTIME. It crashed pre - drop, it crashed after drop, I even didn't reach Midgame... Absolutely unplayable to me.

Sorry Guys but this has been the worst Patch til now for me. It made everything worse and unplayable now.

I even saw my Ping ingame getting higher instead of getting lower after Game started. It went from 125 to 157 and then the Game crashed. Never saw that before. Before everytime Ping went down a few Seconds after Match had started.

Tomorrow I will uninstall and reinstall everything and try again when US doesn't have its Main Playtime and Servers are less busy.

CRASHING EVERY GAME 3 for 3 so far. I've spent all week fixing glitching servers, I don't have the patience for this .

[DrastiK]

Huzzah!
This patch seems to have fixed it for me. I can't even put into words how horrible it was before this, ever since the patch in late April / early March (I forget when it was), but it was sometime around the Heavy vs the World event, that things got really bad.

I *was* "rubberbanding" but not only that, I was being teleported sometimes over 200m in a random direction. Weapons wouldn't hit 1/2 the time, then it started where I was 'desynced' from the start of the match. I was in with this crowd experiencing issues: http://mwomercs.com/...35#entry2193035

So far with this patch, the game is perfect. It's worth noting that I did do a full re-install 3 days ago, because I also did a new OS install onto SSD, essentially a brand new computer. I also didn't start playing until about 30 min ago (6:30 PM USA Central).

The game feels near perfect, having no lag, no weapons delays, no teleporting/rubberbanding. Yay!

[Further]

The game is crashing my video drivers after patch

[richardtyson]

So far, so good with the rubberbanding and such. However, I was wondering if this is just me or if other people are having a problem with unlocking/locking their arms while moving in a clockwise circle. To clarify I mean while holding the "w" and "d" key down. Now if I'm holding down "w" and "a" (counterclockwise) then I can unlock/lock my arms. Note: My left arm has no weapons on it. If having no weapons on my left arm is why this is I would like to hear the reasoning for this. I should be able to unlock/lock my arms regardless of my loadout.

[Mechteric]

lots of crashing, I'll try a reinstall... (I haven't done this since closed beta I think!)

* just finished reinstalling, only had time for 3 games but no crashes there, will have to see how things are tomorrow...

I've had two things tonight that I've never experienced before this hotfix:

• Occasionally, as in once every 5 rounds or so, I'll get silent CTD where the game client just disappears and I'm back at my desktop with no warning notice or explanation.
  
• My FPS cut in half from 50-60 to 30-35 across all the maps roughly 50-75% of the time in a match.

I also hadn't experienced any rubberbanding in around 2-3 weeks, and I still haven't had any since the hotfix either.

Overall, the hotfix has significantly reduced the functionality of the product for me.

[LanceUy]

Yes. The rubber banding seems to have gone. Thank you very much!!!

Second match was fine. Frame rate seemed back to normal. No mini map or mechlab problems in first two games.

Framerate drop is definitely a related symptom. I have that too since the hotfix. Framerates are cut by something like 40% and the game disconnects on a whim now. wtf. It was rock solid before this (just a craptop of HUD bugs before, which are still there now too).

[jakucha]

Works fine for me, though I wasn't having too much rubber-banding before this either.

[Tickdoff Tank]

My game is playable now, but I am rubberbanding like crazy. I have never had this issue before, but it is brutal now.

[Torvalis]

still having lots of rubberbanding issues. and since the patch i have crashed to desktop twice now, in about 10 matches. this is something that i havent had happen since closed beta.

[Xenon Megablast]

As stated in another topic in this section (that seems to be steadily growing), this patch added a massive new issue with disconnects/crashes to desktop.

As far as rubberbanding goes, I don't notice any (positive) difference with this patch:

I play with ping around 120-150ms, and usually don't run into rubberbanding issues during normal play, up until the moment I hit an obstruction - be it another Mech, or a solid wall.

Upon this, in maybe 1/3 of the cases, my Mech starts uncontrollably teleporting around the close area (seemingly even to places i didn't run through previously) and it's virtually impossible to regain control without a full stop, and a short wait that syncs my position to the (presumably) right place that client and server can finally agree on.

Sadly, that also means that at that point, I'm either a sitting duck, or dead.

[MightyMeatShield]

Played three matches just now and saw no instances of rubberbanding (even in my Jenner)! Thanks for acknowledging the problem and pushing the hot fix. Better late than never!
