No problem... I thought it was the weekend followed by the Holiday which translated to a lot of tickets to look at and when I read this I was, what?

Thanks for the quick reply and fix (as I type this).

No worries. Repaired XML has been sent!

I've got a couple more of these waiting to be repaired that I'll get to tomorrow. For anyone else who is still getting this issue and hasn't submitted a support ticket, please feel free to do so according to the guidelines posted here.
If you submit before the late afternoon tomorrow I'll try to get them fixed up so you can have some fun with the weekend tournament without having to fret over the group issues!

Like the title says...

PGI, I'm really getting sick of dropping into a mech only to find out that once again, you've scrambled the weapon groups I had preset on the mech. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, some patches don't affect them, and some patches wipe them out. These are owned mechs, not trials, and I don't have duplicate variants that are jacking with the group assignments.

Please fix this so weapon groups are persistent to each mech you own.

Thank you.

It's an ancient bug that support tells me it cannot be resolve; I hope this 'fix' can be permanent.

From the sounds of it, the error is with the storage of item data, not the TIC files.

Every time you buy/sell an item when modifying your mech, it may be losing the reference to the individual weapon (instead of the weapon/hardpoint).

Weapon groups are stored on your local computer. That's why. Just upload your weapongroups.xml file to a cloud service and download it whenever you switch to a new computer.
