I would like to report a problem.

One 2 occasions today the game had an issue. My zoom would be locked in a particular setting. I was not able to zoom in or out. Also I was not receiving or doing any damage when I should have.

Please forward this to the proper forum.

1) Goes here.
2) That problem occurs when you've been disconnected from the match, typically with a wireless internet connection. The game will likely teleport you several times and have some really weird stuff happen in the mean time. Usually leaving the match and immediately rejoining will fix it.

In my case the game reconnected me mid-match, I was teleported somewhere else and my left side was destroyed instantly (as someone had been shooting me while I was running into a wall when I disconnected), and when I came back and bore my weapons down on him I quickly broke his leg and ripped the little guy apart piece by piece before swinging around and dropping my LRM payload on some poor sods nearby. I lucked out here, most of the time you will not.

Similar to this.


The bug in the video is from packet loss (interrupted connection, faulty connection). The rubber banding in this case however impacted everyone on the server so this form is server-side.

If you can move around just fine but can't do anything to anyone or zoom... then that's your end.

Another packet loss bug vid. For fun. This is the weird stuff that happens as your game tries to reconnect.

Its...strangely more interesting than the game itself at times!

Sounds just like lag, and since even the zoom command is server-side you can't do that until you are firmly connected to the server. Could be on your end or could simply be the kind of random network destabilization MWO has always dealt with (it gets better or worse but never really went away)
