After the latest patch, this problem has started for me. So far I have played five matches and i've had to leave three of them due to my screen freezing. Ingame sounds can be heard, and when I fire weapons I can hear them going off, so I know I haven't just disconnected. The screen freeze is permanent every time. It occurs at seemingly random times in the game, but always at least 3-5 minutes after start.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I've encountered this as well but not regularly and not only since the last patch.

Hmm...have you attempted to reinstall MWO at all?

This new bug has happened to me 3 times in one day, once for my wife on a different computer, and also for my brother on his computer in his home, plus a few guys I have been dropping with all day.

Please figure it out PGI.

Also Ihave had two times now on Tourmaline where no mech has any textures at all! or no mini map.

Memory leak. This is known for months now (Closed Beta), still not fixed, nothing ever happened about it.

Has been reported a thousand times, they simply don't care.

Well that's not fair, they do care but they are just too incompetent to fix it .

I would bet they do care, and are competent to fix it, but its not a high priority bug to address.

I am curious if others see this same behavior when they freeze up while in a game. I play in windowed mode and that may be a factor, I have not tired this in full screen. If I press control-alt-delete -> start task manager -> then alt tab back to the game... this action has cleared whatever the problem is and allowed me to continue playing. I have done it three times and its worked all three times. After the game ends then I restart the client.

My game also freezes about two or three times every evening now. Unfortunately I did not find a way to reproduce it. It seems to occur at random.

It also happened to me in the last patch but there I was able to alt-tab out and in again to fix it. This is not working anymore.

My game has stopped freezing; instead the screen goes black and returns me to mechlab during games without so much as a message. This is hardly an improvement of course.
