ok when I hit cancel and did all game types I found a match. If you're having trouble don't disable a game mode. Search for all.

[Helmer]

Match 5 in less than an hour. Lights and Meds, all game modes.



Cheers.

Currently at 11+ minutes with a Medium, waiting to get my 3rd match. Maybe I just need to let this free day go...

In order to get the proper amount of data you need more people obviously. These tests are going from 12-6pm PST and mostly everyone is at work. Naturally with so few people on the test client you will have much longer wait times.

PGI says "ok we had X amount of people on test, each person waited Y amount of time. That means when we go live peoples average wait time will be Z...acceptable." That might work.

Unfortunately I'm still patching and just about to leave for work. Test server should be open from 12am--12pm at least that way I can get in at work and those that get off at normal hours participate.

BEST THING EVER! THANK YOU!!

Anyone know how to fix "version mismatch" error? Trying to get in but can't even log in. Downloaded client as directed in the OP, try to login and doesn't make it past entering password.

Searching...

[Buso Senshi Zelazny]

It is nice to see that the test servers will be up for 6 continuous hours, rather than two separate two hour blocks as has been done in the past. Also good to see giving Premium Time just for running a few matches on the Test server as a little motivation and reward.

Switched to a medium I can walk and chew gum in: Still searching for first game …

It's not hard to think I'm the lowest Elo bothering to test.

Suggested refinement for future versions:
For people who are willing to play different weight chassis to speed things up:
Let us ready up 2 or more mechs from different weight classes and then the matchmaker can decide which it wants.

[Arcturious]

Tried closing client, rebooting PC etc. Doesn't seem to want to patch either.

Looking at the build config file this is what I have:

<Build>
<BuildNumber>55</BuildNumber>
<BuildVersion>0.0.55.0</BuildVersion>
<BuildPlan>PUBLICTEST</BuildPlan>
</Build>

My Omicron log shows these versions - definitely running the Public Test install. Is it not able to run from a different drive or something perhaps? Anyone else running the public test from another drive other than C:\ ?

Is there a Public Test repair tool like for the normal client, I could try to run that.

EDIT: Fixed it!

Was checking game files and comparing to version for general release. Noticed that there was two files missing from \Engine (Shadercache and shadercachestartup). Copied those from my normal install path. Game then patched something and started up in Public Test properly.

Now to find matches!

this. but for that to work moduloes should be made global, since you cant use more than one mech at a time anyway. no point in buying e.g. 2 zoom modules. would save a lot of clicking switching modules around too

Ok so far 40 minutes searching with Assault, cancelled.
10 minutes Searching in a medium, cancelled so I could afk a bit.
3rd try, 3 minutes searching in a medium and I got in the game, crashed to desktop when mech was powering up. *sigh*
4th attempt, Heavy mech searched for 20 minutes, had to cancel because I am off to work!
Good luck, I like this idea but hope it can be ironed out before release.

Time slot is ok for European players.

Only had time for one drop due to patch taking about 25 mins to download. Worked out fine dropping in a 3 man premade, took about 1 min to find a match. Ended up with another 3 man premade on our side and the same on the other.

Doesn't sound like a good idea to put that on the matchmaker, I don't think its unreasonable to expect people to be able to sort this out through conversation.

[Clideb50]

I just thought of something. When you say 1 premade per team: do you mean 1 group period or only 1 full lance group per team (while rest could be solo or groups of 2-3.)? As for 3-3-3-3 and matchmaker; it's fantastic. I haven't had any steamroll games yet. Most have been close or at least 12-6.

[Gas Guzzler]

How do you sort it out through conversation when you can't converse until you have joined a match, in which case your mech is already chosen ( the mech you dropped with).
