170 Gigs of free space. Please tell me this game doesn't need more than that

That should be roughly sufficient
Hope you have luck with the other attempts!

I did use the standalone installer from the MWO website. I'll try the steam one.



No recent format, and this is extracting to the D drive where writing issues shouldn't pop up.

You'll want to copy over your settings from the old install to the new install (if you still have them) like the weapon groups and such. I'm not on my personal computer so I can't look up the paths atm.

No worries, I got it sorted out. Turns out the Steam installer solved all my problems.

I've a quick question if anyone can help - what's the most cost effective way to grab about 3-6k MC given all the sales and packs currently?

Light packs in the Bundles store cost 14.99 (same as 3K MC) and include 3K MC, 6.5M C-Bills, 30 days of Premium Time, a decent light hero, 100 GSP plus boosted cockpit items. The Rivals pack costs $16 on sale, includes two solid hero mechs, 3K MC, 6.5M C-Bills, 30 days Premium Time and 200 GSP

Thanks mate, just what I was after. I'll get one of those. I was looking at the packs and the MC price and it didnt look like just buying MC was the way. Thank youuuus!

Not sure if I asked it or not (my brain start to give up the fight against nasty chemicals given by my oncologist):
Can I send message to the enemy team? Like issue a challenge or such?
Something works in QP and FP aswell? I doubt it is possible though...

You can use the General chat during the game. The default key on you keyboard is "T".

Of course, you can not know if some enemy player has this Global chat enabled or disabled.

Allchat (default T). You need to enable it in settings first.

Hi, since when are faction units with more then 4 members allowed in a quick play???

[BLACKR0SE]

A friend of mine tried this in the game I play. They wanted to do a last man standing type of game and attacked all together. I don't recommend it, but you can wish them luck and bet on it if you want.

Since April 2020.

the maximum size of groups allowed in QP is 4. The last stealth MM change disallowed groups of 3+2 to enter a match on the same side. Unit members can of course coordinate for a sync drop and thus may end up on the same side in any number up to 12

[TheCaptainJZ]

And just because two players have the same tag doesn't necessarily prove they are playing in a group in QP at that moment. The tags don't disappear when dropping solo and people with different tags can certainly be in a QP group at any time. But it's usually a good indicator if you see 4 of the same tag on one side.

5 in a group on the same side still allowed

How do you know? They could be sync dropping 4+1

It shouldn't be according to the information we've gotten from PGI. Unless they've said differently recently?

[Void Angel]

5 sounds right, but I have to confess I've lost track. =) Took a hiatus and all.I suppose if we had any friends we could test it. =)

They really just need to post the rules on a page on the main website, and update it when they make a change.

Quick question - Do the Active Probes counter ECM just for me so I can get a lock on, or does it completely counter ECM for an enemy mech so my team can get a lock on? Wondering if I should be running CAPs and BAPs on my spotters.

Active probes deactivate the nearest ECM in their range, that is not used with active stealth armour. Thus, the ECM shielded enemies are targetable by your whole team as if there was no ECM.
