Bought the Vindicator Hero Mech I'm a Medium Mechjock so... without even putting it through it's paces in it's stock loadout (which I am sure is fine). I went ahead and tweaked it in Mechlab first before going into a match with some of my unit buddies... anyway, back on subject.

When the Mech startup sequence happens... you get this in the video below. About 20.5 seconds into the 27 second video... Is that normal? Or did the Mech get scared by the XL250 I stuffed into it?

Bug: Mech vibrating w/clipped animation
Reproduction: Every match on initial startup, does not happen while overheating then restarting Mech in combat

p.s. I noticed at 14 and at 18 seconds into the video you'll also notice a clipped object that may be the pilot or something in the cockpit as well... it was too brief to determine the source.

Anyone else notice this before I email Support?

You'll notice (if you turned your music down at least ) that Betty's startup procedure is delayed as well. It seems to do the initial engine warm up noise and the hand gestures (with camera tracking the hands as usual), then the screen shake that normally accompanies the initial startup of a Mech and Betty's spiel trigger at the end of the sequence.

The object 14 seconds in is the side of the headrest. If you turn on free look and turn hard left or right you can see it. During the startup animation, the camera clips through it.

My music was loud? **** that was barely a quarter of the max volume setting lol Get into a brawl and I can't hear the music anymore

The Vindicator start-up is delayed all times, not just the start-up sequence. If you overheat you will sit there for an extra ~3 seconds shut down after you should have already start-up.

Also happens if you manually power-down/start-up.

Can be replicated 100%

Well, your music was pretty quiet. But it was so loud that it was drawing a lot of power from the poor Vindicator causing some delay in your start up.

Now as for that headrest, it isn't the first time that sort of issue came up.

I noticed that headrests are becoming common since the Clan mechs, it hides the fact that there is no rear cockpit or even a wall of any sort enclosing you in.

This one just needs to be adjusted further back so it doesn't clip through your skull.

I'm gonna have to talk with my technician about this... he just put in that sound system yesterday too. And to think... I actually gave him a decent C-bill tip

For fun...

The video itself is lots of fun but if you're short on time... 7:59 and prepare yourself for laughter.

I get the vibration at the end of the start-up sequence sometimes, but it always stops before I'm fully powered up.
