Also I have tried every Diagnostic you can do under the sun. I have asked The MWO Support team for help. Guess what! Once It got to the point where I found the error code, and gave it ot them. THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED SINCE. not even a Sorry we can't help you.
Error codes as follows. Which interestingly enough equal over heating ... Dafuq OVERHEATING! ON A LOADING SCREEN??!!? o.O Seriously.
============================ Loading level mechlab ============================
[Error] Error: CTexMan::ImagePreprocessing: Scaling of 'textures/particles/weapons/laser_beam_1x4_lop0.dds' compressed texture is dangerous (only single mip) [File=textures/particles/weapons/laser_beam_1x4_lop0.dds]
[Error] Error: CTexMan::ImagePreprocessing: Scaling of 'textures/particles/weapons/ppc_beam_b.dds' compressed texture is dangerous (only single mip) [File=textures/particles/weapons/ppc_beam_b.dds]
P.S It happens so fast! It doesn't even Register an Error Message. Except in the Omicron. This is a BUG THAT NEEDS FIXING! Not a PLAYER END ISSUE.

What error is registered in the 'event viewer'? If there is a problem that will tell you what was happening just before the crash.
- And the normal question, is the MechWarrior Online .exe set to run as admin?

To 9erRed ...Yes it is set to run in Admin mode, also the windows event viewer doesn't have anything for it. As if it never happened. What I have above i the only clue as to what the problem is.

Just checking, confirm that your textures.pak file (in the MWO game folder) is 383,755KB in size?
- and there was not a corruption in the download.

If you have a program to speed up your video card fan speed, use that before you start MWO. Or have it ramp up the speed with reference to the heat produced, as it appears to be a 'spike' as the program starts.
- Once the Mechlab is up and running the heat settles down, or that's what I see happening for my fans.

I tried that. I overclocked my seriously crude in-built Lenovo laptop fan to no effect. The game still pops at the Mechlab loading screen. It's not even fair - my computer should realistically be able to swallow this game whole with it's specs, but why do I have to suffer only because I have Windows 8.1? I recall it didn't happen BEFORE the UI 2.0 update, did it? Otherwise I think it would of been spotted and fixed long, long ago. Seriously. As Radical said at the beginning, it's not the user's fault, it's a terrible bug that needs to be fixed ASAP because I'm absolutely SURE that me, Rad or Rimon aren't the only ones that have this issue right now.

So now a buddy of mine in the military got a lap top Lenovo, brand new, multi core specs way higher than what he needed. Comes with windows 8, or else he upgraded to it. He's struggling to get MWO to work on it, but says its fine for other games. Like here, he said his specs were way higher than what was needed, but then I got to see it running in person. BF4 ran, but no where near what his top of the line specs should have allowed. Mechlab in MWO was sent his temps up to the roof and he got program errors and crashes. But to his mind he could at least play the others, but MWO has to be the problem cause he couldnt play it - and heat issues seem only to happen in it. Well I left his monitoring software active and had him do a few rounds of his normal games... he got into them but then in front of me griped about the poor frame rate AND TURNED OFF THE MONITORING PROGRAM AND A FEW OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE HIS ANTIVIRUS AND FIREWALL. I asked him why he turned off the exact program I was using to find out what the heat issues were and if they actually were happening for other games too, and he said that if he let those other programs run for Bf4 and other games, they got sluggish and buggy too but didnt crash, so thats how he knew it was MWO, not anything else.
I felt like hitting my head into the counter top. I forced him to play his other games again with fire wall, antivirus and monitoring software all on and it showed it was getting just as hot as mwo on both the laptop graphics "card" and the cpu/mb. Seemed though that MWO was more sensitive to this, also the temperature was sustained longer. Other games got hot in spikes then cooler, depending I guess on complexity of rendering on screen. The lenovo just could not handle it, especially with all the "overclock" tuning things he was using with the cpu and card, and the automatic thermal limits kept throttling his machine components to protect him, giving his issues with other games and need to minimize the other running processes.
To me what it came down to was that on the Lenovo the specs meant nothing, you could take the fastest cpu, memory and mb, squeeze them into a pretty plastic hot box, and find that 2+2+2 =1.5... its practically melting itself and unable to perform like some one might be lead to expect from the advertised numbers of the machine. Sad.

My Lenovo laptop isn't one of the ones you described. It runs at maximum capacity without trouble, nothing's melting down and I'm using an external cooling fan that only makes further sure that's not going to happen. In my case, it's 2+2+2=5, because yeah, sometimes it tends to glitchdown or do some quirky stuff, but usually it performs as expected.
I'm pretty sure it IS a Windows 8.1 issue that needs to be fixed.

I have uninstalled and re-installed the client at least four times now, following all of the directions given by Piranha, and it has not worked at all. Everything is up-to-date. It's not an issue with my laptop, as I have been able to play the game for about a year before this, but I am running Windows 8.1 (if that is indeed the cause).
I don't know what else to do about this other than complain at this point. I am very frustrated that the fifty dollars I spent on a Dire Wolf has been for almost nothing so far. I feel like this is a major issue that needs to be resolved. If anybody has any other suggestions, I am open to them.

Trent, I'm afraid that in the current state of matters there's nothing you can really do.
From all the other ''crash on login'' threads that I read, I came to a conclusion. There's enough evidence to surely say that this is a Windows 8.1 issue, because from all the people with a similar issue only the 8.1 users get affected this very way. I arleady opened a support ticket stating the cause and omicron details, hope this does something. Get as many people affected with this to report that and the support will start trying to fix it.

Pro tip for the developers. Error codex! Learn to make them. Nobody should need an advanced certification in computer enginering in order to get your sloppy product to function.
Windows 7, i5-3450@3.10GHz, 12GB ram, 64-bit OS, GPU works great for everything else.
