Having the same trouble.

Clicked launch selecting "Any". First time I went straight to mechlab with default Key settings.
Second time did "Any" again, with Fullscreen and adjusted key settings. Went to black loading screen for about 15-30 secs before dropping back into mechlab.

Third try.
Clicked launch selecting "Assault". Got in no trouble. FR and Ping similar to current game. Performance seems similar as well, and hit detection is still having some problems. OVerall, thumbs up.

Did you remember to fix the options? They were set to defoult


Yes, that bad. I even used the same user.cfg to make sure everything is compareable, its cruel for me and any other european players. The Hit detection is by far the worst.

Love the build so far, just one issue that occurred. After around 3-4 drops with a few friends, we tried to drop, and were booted as soon as the drop started. The issue was our 'mechs were still in game. Switched 'mechs, tried it again, and same issue. 15 minutes later, and both 'mechs are still in game. Other than this minor issue I love the 12v12 action, it's quite hectic. ;)

Edit: just rebooted the client twice, issue still not fixed

Hey Everyone,

We're actively tracking the launch to black-screen issues that several users are experiencing, and have some strong suspicions about the cause. We're going to be performing a bit of live maintenance on the public test environment that will hopefully resolve the issues. We'll keep you updated.

Sorry for any troubles, and thanks for your help!


Give unto us more time to break-test it for you then, pretty please ? ? ?

Overall performance seems to be the same as on live.
Hit detection seems worse.
The team that makes the first kills wins. 12vs12 is worse here than 8vs8.
Boating is a must, even more in 12vs12 than 8vs8.

4 of 7 attempted drops ended up with a DC. Launch, drops into start game, black screen, back to the mechlab.




Also, just had a drop where the last guy DC's on his own and it didnt end the match. This is the same as the old bug that used to do this.


Actual gameplay is AMAZING. Performance is fine, same as live. The actual gameplay is so much more chaotic and fun!

We had a full lance flank last match and it worked. In a pug game.

Is the weapon boating heat-penalty in? I was just in a game in my 6ppc stalker and was overheating every alpha when I definitely wasn't before.

One of the guys in the game with me said he was talking to a dev and they were saying it wasn't in.

What's the deal?

Well, my hit detection is fine however I found my hitbox (9S victor) to be wrong, I was hit in my left arm several times yet the damage was applied to my right arm.

I find the smaller maps way too small, with little maneuverability room.

Other than the first problem, I didn't have any noticeable issues except maybe a slight ping increase on my side of things, though I have only been pug dropping.

Outside technical feedback, I'm not a fan of the system, though that is probably due to the current meta and my insistence on trying out a brawling Victor.

Most of the maps are way too small for 12v12. There's no space to maneuver. It's just walk up to the dozen mechs in front of you. Where's the skill in that? Larger maps would allow lances to actually maneuver as they were intended too, not force everyone to become a brawler. Maps like River City, 12 mechs can line up shoulder to shoulder across 3/4 of the map. 12v12 should be limited to the larger maps.

Mostly the same performance stats for me, but slightly worse stability.

I never crash normally, but I noticed two map load crashes - you see the list of players loading into the map, but crash before the startup animation.

Also, the front end has done this to me a couple times after matches. Closing and restarting the client fixes is:

Just a quick note that it seems some of the higher game server ports didn't setup correctly which is why a few games are experiencing black screens/disconnects etc. please try to disregard this in your feedback. We're addressing the issue in the background currently. If you see failed to find a match please just keep trying it should be back to normal shortly.

Having to reset all of your weapons groups, video options, etc. Should have all of our groups and controls transferred with our setting saved.

For gameplay experience, it depends heavily on the map.

Caustic and Canyons are fine, and feel much like Forest Colony used to - by this I mean they feel a little smaller, but good to play on.

River City, despite being a small map, works well. Now you pretty much never have the "teams take opposite paths and miss each other" issue, and the match really benefits from splitting your forces (too many mechs clumped up can't fire effectively).

Forest Colony is just too small. Seriously, it's just too small. It's not fun to play on.

The large maps are awesome. There's lots of room to maneuver, and fights are very interesting.

My framerate was doing a little worse, I lost about 20 frames on average (test average is about 30 fps), and then I dropped on Frozen City. Even before there was real action, just a few LRM salvoes, I was reaching 10-15 on average, which didn't happen in any of my other matches. I have had no problems with crashing, bugs, etc. Very stable.
