I look forward to more battles where all 8 *cough 12 members of each team are present and in full functioning order!

Seriously one of the best posts on the forums. I don't think I've ever seen something sum up MWO and PGIGP in such a succinct way with humor to boot!

That'll do pig, that'll do.

Will we have the option to leave HUD bugs on? I for one prefer playing on Expert Mode.

[KKillian]

"No it won't. Even if they did, and even IF it works, they'd see that one bug has been fixed - out of roughly a hundred that remain. Not to mention FPS is still crap, DX11 still isn't available, ingame VoIP isn't live, Crossfire / SLI still isn't supported..."

Actually it has already, my friends and I are all very much looking forward to this fix we have awaited for a VERY long time. Five, count em, FIVE friends I hang out with constantly are finally going to sit down and give this another go. Six of us on a lan we ALWAYS had at least one, two, even six map issues all at once. For a game that we had waited so long for, just to see it glitchy and bugged and seeing no attention given to those issues months after release they all threw in the towel.

I'm not saying its unplayable with a bugged out hud or iff, it just looks like ****. Noone in their right mind (hey i kept playin) that isnt a complete fanboy would try to trudge through those bugs for countless matchs. I know I did, but I certainly understand why my friends wanted nothing more to do with it.

FINALLY, I can get these guys to sit down and melt some metal again! Lets hope its a solid fix. As for fps issues, I have 90fps on highest settings, a single ATI GPU, There are voip servers LISTED FOR THE PUBLIC. I dont know about you but most games with built in voip the hardcores still use 3rd party voip. The only fps drop I ever get is in heat vision due to its terrible memory leak that still needs to be addressed.

MANY SLI/XFIRE SETUPS ARE NOT CONFIGURED TO COOL PROPERLY AND CAUSE MORE HEAT THAN A SINGLE CARD ENDING IN LESS FPS THAN A SINGLE GPU. People stuff these things in these tiny rigs and expect more preformance, when all they get is further heat issues. Many of them it was simply a heat issue to begin with and they spend hundreds of dollars on a second card when all they needed was proper ventilation and airflow. Do not create turbulance, just use exhaust fans with a clear intake, do not force air into your pc. (The heat I speak of is northbridge, not the gpu directly. There are VERY FEW motherboards on the market with proper chipset cooling, all of my boards I have added heatsinks/airflow to the pathetic excuse for chipset coolers and seen a HUGE improvement in preformance. Asus, Abit, MSI, Lanparty, Foxcon, all these boards I have owned and ALL have northbridge heating issues.)

I love those guys.

PGI announce that an ANNOYING and COMPLEX bug that is HARD to reach has finally been fixed, they still find a WAY to COMPLAIN. Seriously... Just maybe a thanks at least or something ?

Dixit :

Maybe you haven't been here long enough, but PGI should be thanking US (not so much me, since I stopped playing months ago) for suffering through all the terrible design decisions, questionable marketing, lies, and atrocious QA. The only reason people are still playing this game is because of the IP. They don't deserve a single ounce of gratitude from anyone.

Yeah, I get great fps on a single ATI GPU as well. I rarely ever got HUD bugs before, but it's nice they're fixing it for people who did.

[Old Mechdonald]

Yea!!!! though it's been very stable, I did have one "no mini map" issue but just once. So if they can fix that it should be good.
Time for me to buy some more MC's... (every time they do good I buy for MC)

Ever since that last patch..things have been good for the most part.

[Bunko]

Let's hope this does it!

And thanks Kerl Berg for that awesome writeup ( http://mwomercs.com/...23#entry2348823 ).

[StonedDead]

Thank you! I myself have had few HUD bugs(thankfully) but I know many who have been extremely afflicted by this. After last weeks patch, I had seen a drastic drop in their occurrences(only one, plus a 4fps bug). I really hope this resolves the issue entirely. I really enjoyed the Command Chair post on this even though it made little sense to me. The TL;DR went a long ways towards resolving that for me!

P.S. I appreciate the amount of info coming from you recently. In the past it was like you were all clammed up, now it's like reading an open book. I'm sure the fan base appreciates this, I do.

[Teir Dasande]

This patch means nothing to me. I play with the HUD off. Because yolo.

[Padic]

That command chair write up was incredible.

You stopped playing months ago and now just hang around the forums to write up non-productive, toxic posts? Sounds like you have a bad case of "no life."

Yes it was. Third party bugs are always some of the hardest to diagnose and fix. Intermittent bugs are difficult as well. As you can imagine intermittent third party bugs are the worst.

[Appogee]

However, let us not dwell on the sad past. Let us rejoice for the happy day which has finally arrived.

[Chavette]

First (and only) game after patch, I tried stressing the client by alt-tabbing while loading... I won, it crashed.

[TruePoindexter]

It'll be fun to test. Usually I've only had very minor HUD corruption.

• Mech name becoming nothing but WWWWWWWWWWWW
  
• Mech name becoming coordinate numbers
  
• Kill counts becoming a players name
  
• Inverting capture colors (I'm the red team now muahahahaha)

Rarer but more problematic were

• IFF not working and can't open map
  
• My damage display not updating
  
• RAINBOW MAP OF FABULOUSNESS

Can't wait for all of these to be gone!

[Mason Grimm]

There was much rejoicing and requesting of an MC Sale so that PGI could sell MC!

Yeah being a full time student, with a job, a wife, and 100 other hobbies beg to differ to your moronic "no life" comment. Nice rebuttal though, I mean you really proved how wrong I was.

[xengk]

So far so good, had about 15 match last night and didn't encounter a single HUD bug.
My framerate also mysteriously improved by 5 to 10fps after patch.

[Lupo the Butcher]

I've prolly played close to 700 matches so far and I can count the number of HUD glitches I've had on 2 hands. They all seemed to be around a month or 2 ago and I haven't had one for weeks. A couple of rainbow HUDs, a few "dead" HUDs and 2 or 3 not tracking with movement issues, but very few and far between.

Not sure what I'm doing that everyone else isn't but.....
