Today I downloaded a little path from the game (app, 3 mb).

Now I can't connect to the game. Yesterday I had similiar problems, but after several attempts I finally could connect.

Now I log in, it wrights "connecting" - then "loading mechlab" - then "connecting" and disconnetcs. Sometimes "unknown failure" is shown.

I tried like 10 times and it did not worked out.

Run the repair utility.

Same problem here.

Ran the repair utility, no problem found.

According to my in-game friends, I'm connecting and appearing online. But I'm stuck looking at a login screen.

Glad it's not just my one.


For the record, I've emailed support requesting troubleshooting support. Patiently waiting.


EDIT: Just wanted to add, this began yesterday with the installation of UI 2.0, not with today's hotfix. Also, while the above picture matches what I see, this image was previously hosted here in this topic. Seems NuKulaR has hit this wall before.

Me too.... Got the same error.

Runned the repair tool with no results.

Sean Lang told me to re install , no results aswell


Im on a sucky I5 2500K with hd 3000 onboards graphics, never had a problem with the game.

Thanks for letting us play with no graphics card, for a low end graphics computer game worked good.

Please help us .. ill be playing Mechcommander with my 10 person veteram community until this gets fixed.

Please fix it :)

Same here: 'unknown failure' mixed with server connection errors. I actually managed to connect once or twice yesterday, out of dozens of attempts. But today since the hot fix it doesn't connect at all. I think I call it a month, and maybe come back later.

Hawken is coming to Steam. ;)

Also having this problem, emailing support about it as well but wanted to report my findings so far. Since UI 2.0 dropped, I tried logging in on a friend's system, went fine, looked pretty, whatever. Tried it at home, no dice. Hotfix dropped, no change. Tried repair tool w/ wiping all settings, setting up port forwarding, tweaking graphics settings, no change.

Something strange that I haven't seen mentioned in thread yet: I had friends online while I tried logging in and hitting the error; I do appear online for a second while the loading screen appears, then go offline when the error appears.

I also checked the Omicron.log in the MechWarrior Online folder (same folder as system.cfg, user.cfg, etc.). Seems to be having errors loading mechbay on texture scaling and buffers blah blah blah. Posting here, sorry if too verbose.

I'll try again playing the X-Files music. Seriously though, a resolution would be great as normal means of fixing stuff (retrying, repairing, reinstalling, turning it on and off again, rebooting (kicking side of PC) and spamming Esc) have not worked yet. I'll keep trying over the next week and update if I can log in. Cheers :angry:

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting this. I tried the repair tool, then a fresh install, then a completely different account than my main, all no joy. This is pissing me off because I'm going to miss out on buying a protector at half price...

I really wanted to take advantage of the current Hero Mech sales, but I'm having the same problem. I suspect my unsupported laptop graphics card, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200, may be inadequate to handle the new UI. Would there be any reason to confirm my suspicions?

Same here, but with the extra bonus of having my ADSL connection going down as soon as i exit after this "unknown failure"..???

I have to reset my modem/router every time after trying to play.

I was able to play on one of two accounts (on the same computer!) but now neither works.

No change on my end. Same old, same old.

That said, my Internet connection isn't being affected at all. Wonder if we're looking at multiple problems, all throwing the same "Unknown Failure" message.

Gotta admit, for troubleshooting, "unknown failure" isn't particularly helpful as far as error messages go.
