Hello MechWarriors,

This Friday April 4th at 10am PDT we will be having a short server downtime expected to last less than 2 hours.

The MechWarrior Online game client will not be available for this period, and our forums will be read-only for the duration of the maintenance.

Downtime this week has contributed to a more robust backend and will further increase our ability to support more users and game content moving forward.

The Public Test Server will be online for the duration of the downtime; take the opprotunity to try out new Mech builds! The contents of the build is the same as noted here: http://mwomercs.com/...ic-test-details

http://mwomercs.com/...ublic-test-faq/

Thank you for your patience, we'll see you on the Battlefield!

Update: Maintenance completed successfully. Thank you all.

Thanks for the heads up.

Why does the image say "PM"?

My only suggestion is to "fix" the manifest on the test server for those wanting to try it with the "PTS version" of the MWO Repair Tool:

http://patcher.mwome...ORepairTool.exe

Make sure to create a shortcut to the tool, editing the shortcut by adding a space and "publictest" (w/o the quotes) in the target box.

Common manifest errors are listed here (until it is fixed):

I like robust back ends and I cannot lie!

[xMintaka]

LIARS! You said less than 2 hours :'(

[CHH Badkarma]

pgi needs to re implement the countdown warning timer. that was a nice feature.

[julesPG6]

How much longer are the servers going to be down ?

[Duncan Aravain]

The mob is getting restless.............

[gaSyeraSS]

this DWONTIME begins to annoy me....

Edited by gaSyeraSS, 04 April 2014 - 11:27 AM.

[Gas Guzzler]

Its okay guys I'm sure its because they are putting SO much on sale, that its taking them a little extra time to get all the items onto the sale page in the store.

[ROJ]

I hope this is meant to resolve the recent unpredictable disconnects or sudden surges of lag.

This has been happening too frequently for the past few weeks.

[user51]

If they are going to be down longer then planned it would be nice if you posted something in response to these messages. More transparency will go a long way to soothing us savage mech warriors
