Since the latest patch there is an issue where on match start, my 'mech just starts up without the startup sequence.
Betty then says her lines at that point, but I'm running around already.

Another unit-mate also said they're seeing this.

I haven't had a chance to figure out any patterns, and will send a support ticket once I have footage of it, as I haven't saved any yet.

Anyone else seeing this?

Same issue on a seemingly random basis. Maybe 20% of the time yesterday? Have not had it happen today.

We were saying on ts " MUST HAZ START UP ANIMATION!"

Because let's face it, it is seriously cool. My inner geek squees with joy every time.

Uhm, silly question but: did this happen in regular matches or only with training grounds drops ?
Because I think they turned the start-up sequence off for training grounds about two patches ago.

Could be the cross continental lag...

Reg matches, and I am 40 ish miles max from the server.

I'm having something similar since the patch. I hear Betty's voice but my cockpit is not really there. No pilot, no pushing buttons animation. And after the "All systems nominal" everything springs into place and I can play like normal.

Happens about 30-40% of the drops since the patch or something?

I have noticed this yesterday and it only seems to effect my Jenners.

I have tired to repair my client just incase it was an issue.

Same thing here. Started after the latest patch (1.3.283). It seems to be random and I have only seen it when dropping in my Locust 1V though that may only be a coincidence.

There is no cockpit graphics in the READY screen and in the startup sequence. Then when I can move the mech the cockpit reappears and betty starts speaking. It is not really a game breaker though.

Hmmm, now that you mention it I'm busy mastering Locusts atm (alternating drops with my other mechs for variety's sake) so this may actually be something that only happens in my Locusts. I'll see if I can confirm this tonight.

I'm seeing this too. Sometimes - not always - I'll see just the "empty view" of whatever location I've dropped to in front of me with no cockpit or HUD. There's no "swing from side to side" as buttons are pressed to bring systems online - the view just stays static and empty - until Betty tells me All Systems Are Nominal, then the HUD and Cockpit pop into view and I can take off.

I'd say it was happening about half the time I dropped yesterday (4-17-14) in any mech I tried (Atlas, 2 Stalkers) - didn't notice if it happened in the Training Grounds, and I haven't tried today. I'm in Arkansas, USA - in case you think it's a lag issue...

Doesn't seem to affect game play, so I can live with it - and I'll be online after noon today to win my new Thunderbolt!

See ya there!

I'm seeing this also. It seems to be random - no pattern with mech selected, etc.

[Arc Viper]

I've had this happen to me today on the 4 matches I've played. I used two different mechs and saw the same issue.

[Deathlike]

This does happen, but it's very random when it happens. However if it happens once in a particular session, it usually occurs again.

It seems to happen more often when I see the same mech over and over.
