GreetingsMechWarriors,

 

OurTechnicians are hard at work on the latest Hot-Fix for MWO, releasing latertoday at 12 Noon PDT, 3PM EDT, 7PM UTC.

Thishot-fix should take approximately 15 minutes to deploy and for our team tosmoke test.

 

The purposeof this update is to introduce fixes to a few bugs:

• Players becoming stuck in an infinite Searching for Match screen should be resolved.
• Players being sent back to the MechLab after the Match Loading screen should be resolved.
• Knockon bug: Players sent back to the Mechlab and being unable to rejoin a match should be resolved.

• Theend-result of this fix should mitigate situations where players would encounter“0-ping” users in-game.

[background=transparent;]After thehot-fix we intend to enable Clan vs. IS matchmaking temporarily today for thepurposes of collecting balance and matchmaking data.[/font]

[background=transparent;]Please letus know how the hot-fix and matchmaker works for you![/font]

I dunno how things will work for clan versus i.s. but I can say this, the match maker works fine for me.

Good to know.

Any plans to publish some of the data on the clan vs IS mech matches?

[FupDup]

How long will the Clan vs IS MM last tonight? I don't like that these events are always held while I'm at work.

You're interrupting our practice, hurry up.

[LauLiao]

Funny, I was going to ask how long it was going to last so I knew how long to avoid logging in. Last time, playing IS seemed a rather futile gesture.

Sounds like a great event to run during a weekend. Play so many matches and get a free mechbay.

[Colonel Tequila]

Please tell me you at least thought about putting clan vs IS testing on to the public test server before releasing it live.....

... or as previous poster recommended do it for a weekend long event and actually make something of it rather than knee jerking your development.

IS vs Clan balance data aside sounds fun. Hope its up for a while.

[Valten]

Dang it! Summoner Sunday, MechWarrior Monday, Timberwolf Tuesday and this hits on Wife Wednesday. Just my luck...

[Eximar]

Last Wednesday should have been enough data, roflstomp every single time.

[Sky Hawk]

Ye, best way to test the working of a hot-fix is Clan Stomp... Because one part of the datas consist just zeros.

You guys never make announcements in news or upcoming events about surprise patches. I was in an epic match in mt stormcrow and was destroying an Atlas when all of a sudden you throw another patch in on us. I appreciate what you do I love the game and have invested good money into it to show my support. I know you can do in game announcements ive seen it done before. All i am asking is use some common sense. TYVM

[MadPanda]

Ooh Clan vs IS again. I wasn't gonna play tonight but I'll definitely login for that. Let's crush some IS scum .

[Akumu]

another Clan stomp IS event???? See u tomorrow....

[luigi256]

So what is this IS vs Clan thing about? Is it 10 Clanners vs 12 IS Mechs? Does this affect mixed premades?

[C E Dwyer]

all good but why no mention of the terrible desync not even a looking into it, not much point trying out isvclan balancing if people are bouncing about like balls in squash court

[Arclighte]

This is probably going to be a pain

[Khushrenada]

well, matchmaking worked always fine for me, but i did see 0-pingers occasionally.

about the clan vs is... well if it is more balanced like 10 vs 12 or something like that ok, other than that what do you expect other than last time?
rofl stomps here we come.

Yepp,in current condition there is little sense to test anything before resolving desync problem.
