Title:Patch Breaks Game, Repair tool is hit/miss on repairs
Description: Patch-day Breaks my game, today it was Fread error, after attempt at repair tool, i now have Missing Pak error. Recurring Problem

Location: Uh, my computer? not sure here...
Reproduction Rate: 50%
Steps to Reproduce: (Todays rundown, varies Error type and Repair tool success rate)
1. Patch
2. Launch
3. "FRead did not read expected number of byte from file, only 128 of 0 bytes read" after login, as it attempts to load Mechlab assets
4. Attempt again, after login, unresponsive, Forced closed with task manager.
5. Run Repair tool. Didn't look to see which files were corrupted this round.
6. Launch again, Error "missing Pak"
7. Run Repair tool, Bumpers.Pak, Cobra.Pak, Objects.Pak, Sounds.Pak, Tartan.Pak mismatched.
8. Launch, Loads Mechlab, Launches into match
9. Match plays flawlessly, issue resolved, for now
10. Profit...?

So, long story short, Patches break game, repair tool has problems fixing, i have spent 4 hours fixing the game today. And about half the time a patch comes out, a similar ritual takes place, with success inevitable, just time consuming. Is this just me/my machine? or is there a prescribed fix for such behavior?

I had the same issue. after the repair (1.2gb), I was/am able to play, but my mech does not turn at the torso, though I can still turn the gun site (and fire), and the legs of all other mechs do not move anymore...

about to reinstall the whole game, yaay...

Same here. After you do the fix, why not check if it's ok with the repair tool again. I did and the same PAK files were corrupted...

because, its already a 4 hour ordeal most of the time, why add to it, when its faster to check by attempting to run the game

also i suspect that it is the opening/closing of the PAKs that causes corruption, so running the repair tool may break it, even if its fixed... if that makes any sense
