As we continue to roll out updates and new content for MW:O there will be occasions when these changes may affect the stability or performance of the game on certain systems. While we do what we can to ensure continued playability for as wide a range as systems as possible with each new update, integrated graphics chips are less-than-ideal environments for running an increasingly large portion of modern games.
Recently, MW:O users running these integrated graphics chips have started experiencing persistent crashes upon entering MechLab, and have been unable to access their in-game Settings in order to reduce their graphical overload and increase their chances of functionally running the game.
Included in this post you will find the contents of an attributes.xml geared specifically toward these environments. These attributes will force the lowest possible settings for your MW:O client. It won’t be pretty, but at the very least they should get you back in the game.
Please note that this should only be considered a temporary workaround for running MW:O in its current state. We can't guarantee that future updates won't outpace the performance abilities of lower-end graphic cards or systems.
To implement these settings, follow these instructions:
Locate the attributes.xml file in your \Users\"your username"\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\Profiles\"your pilot name" folder.
Right click on the file and select Edit.
Replace the entire contents of the file with the information contained within the spoiler tag below and save the file.
If all is well and the planets are aligned, you should be able to run MW:O.
