1st match today the game froze half way in. Its been happening just about every other match for me for the past week. Iv never had an issue with the game freazing before. Whats going on?

[Autofire55555]

I'm having the same issue. I think there is a CPU/Memory leak, looking at the Task Manager. I'm using 64bit Windows 8, just to clarify. What's your OS?

[Zarlaren]

When I log in the front page my cpu roughly hovers a 60% if there is a cpu leak it would be on there side cause I only have Firefox and MWO open. I'm freezing 100% of the time in every match I used to play the game on medium setting graphics in all the bars and high on good days. Now I can't play on low and everything turned off.

Would be nice to have this bug fixed at this moment it is a game breaking bug cause I can't play.

There's no such thing as CPU leak, but game simply runs an infinite loop due to code bugs which is normal, but they need to be hunted properly.

Interesting. I have had 3 games today that have crashed just as the game ended (twice) and once mid-way. No idea why - could be the heat giving my machine a crisis, if it isn't code related...

I also started freezing during matches tonight. Never had this problem before. There is no consistency with when in the match it will freeze. I have had it happen at the beginning middle and end of the match. quitting and restarting the client doesn't seem to help. I'm running 32bit vista.

Hi all, I am also getting freezes in game, seems a bit random and more often after last patches, it almost always happens in game with a loud sound nearby, ctrl alt delete and taskmanager shows the client not responding and after 10 to 30 seconds it resumes again. The freezes can be there when I just start playing or later on after a few hours of play. I am using win 8 64bits, 2x gtx 690, i7 930 cpu, 6gb mem. Mostly run of 2 screens with Skype, Mozilla Firefox and IE in the background. It definitely isnt stopping me from playing but it does stop me from being part of the winning solution of a match when i just moonwalk over the battlefield when it happens

[Sanoske]

Same problem. Launcher works fine, but once i join a game 10 - 60 seconds in it just hangs. This is game breaking for me. I can't play any matches at all.

My memory used at the time of crash was only at ~30%.

I haven't had any issues with gameplay or perfomance before now.

I am having same problem since 12vs12 patch. (Windows 8 64-bit) Never had the game before lock-up and freeze out. Sometimes I can escape out, activate Task Manager, then click on MWO and escape back into game. Happens 1 out of 3 games. Starting to get upset since just paid $80 for the Overlord Tier.

Exactly the same thing except mine doesn't come back and has to be closed via the task manager. Used to only happen on Terra Therma, now its occurring on all maps. Becoming more and more frequent as well. I've sent a support ticket in on it with no response yet.

I'm having this issue also, and something I've noticed is there is always (that I can remember) a machine gun going off close to me, and when the game locks up the machine gun noise continues until I alt-tab or close. Often I can come back but if the MG is still going it just happens again. I have mechs that use MGs, and never crash due to my own.

[Staplebeater]

Same here much more since 12v12. CTRL ALT DEL then canceling has been working a significant portion of the time

[Elbola Ierocis]

When it unfreezes check with team. Had three instances of entire team freezes but opponent does not. That seems more like a server issue than individual.

[Dawnstealer]

Same thing - first time I've had serious freezes like this. I've noticed if I do nothing, sometimes I'll "unfreeze" and be able to play (if I haven't been killed during the freeze).

[iHover]

Freezes about 1 in four here , in 12 v 12 drops with my team yesterday we would all freeze up and or get 2 - 4 second lags at the same time whenever we got into combat. Also having the game drop all textures. All since the 12 vs 12 patch. Games in an unplayable state.

[IronChance]

Not sure about the team freeze issue, but this might fix the freeze for an individual client:

Try deleting your Shaders folder in Program Files\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\USER and then restart. This folder tends to get cluttered every other patch or so.

[Floowid]

I played for a whole hour last night without a single freeze. Usually I freeze up in about 50% of games. I usually see it on the bigger maps, rarely will I make it all the way through a Terra Therma game. But last night I didn't have a single problem, even got to see what the win/lose screen looks like on Terra Therma.

Spoiler

It looks the same.

[iHover]

Its not my client. Even after deleting the shaders folder I still have games freezing. This is happening to everyone in my clan to a varying degree. Having it happen to the entire team during a match certainly points to problem with the game and not one players client install or hardware. Im running a fairly high end system and video card (ATI / AMD 7850) I know one of the other players on team drops was running high end with navidia. I think 12 v 12 needed more time in the oven.

[Dredhawk]

Yep notice a similar problem but didn't think much of it since I haven't been playing MWO all that much the lasted 5 months...Just figure it was a known bug or something guess not LOL
