No issues seen so, far... Good Job PGI.

[Dagorlad13]

Still having crazy lag spikes since the Time Warner "fix", otherwise the game is great.

PGI... I would kiss you right now, if I could. Switching to 64-bit got me a not-insignificant boost in FPS, which has been a big complaint of mine since... Well... Basically since I started playing. Oddly enough, switching to DX9 while running 64-bit got me a bit more FPS (I was running DX11 previously because I was getting better performance than DX9).

I'm now getting ~20-40 FPS in combat (depending on what exactly is going on, frequently on the higher end of that. Missile impacts on the cockpit seem to be the worst), 60-120 outside of combat. Big improvement over the 15 or less I was previously getting in combat.

So... Huge THANK YOU! from me. It's much appreciated.

After getting those Files. It works well atm. Thx.

It's funny how I never realized that this was a 32bit application. All this time I thought I was using all of my 32 GB of ram. Can't wait to try it out.

[Thanatos31]

great work! no crashes, runs smooth .

[Brixx]

Yeah, Performance gain is insane. Finally stable 60 FPS.

[Motörhead]

what's the best with this client, dx9 or 11? performance wise, I don't care about visuals, gotta squeeze out anything I can.

Still waiting for the game to stop requiring admin privileges to run. Been waiting since beta.

[crustydog]

The 64 bit client is crashing on my machine = some BS related to a perfectly installed DirectX file

But the 32 bit client is now running smoothly with DX11

and the hit reg issue has greatly improved.... Light mechs beware -

Like Teamspeak needs them as well?

There is a trick in Windows that does away with that privilege thing for all of your programs - I don't remember exactly how - but it is in the advanced settings of the privileges (control panel) somewhere.

I did that for all programs on my machine and privileges are no longer an issue in my life - thank god.

That smells like disabling UAC. I would NOT recommend doing that if you don't know what you are doing. I disable it on my desktop, but it puts my computer at greater risk of problems...

We are very happy to announce the experimental release of the 64-bit MechWarrior Online client tomorrow

mmmh.. experimental release or experimental client, which is it now?

[Discohydra]

I'm experiencing a marked improvement in performance for my set up. It seems to have a greater effect on those with a lot of RAM but lesser emphasis on CPU. I noted 20-50% increase in FPS in Invasion, and approximately 10-25% in other modes.

[Fooby]

is XP x64 not supported? I get the loading mechlab screen for a about 5 seconds before the program terminates. Yes the C++ and DX 9c are installed (or newer versions)

[Desintegrator]

Great - another topic to work on...

Probably it would be better to concetrate on CW the next months.

I'm pretty sure I did not disable user access control - but rather gave myself full admin control over the system as the default settings - something like that. The UAC is still there - installing software still asks for permission to run - but now I no longer have to "launch program as administrator":... or assign special permissions to a specific program, etc.

Yeah, I probably am at greater risk as a result -

But - I just couldn't take it anymore....

Question for someone who hasn't tried it yet, can you have both 32bit and 64bit installed (without copy/pasting MWO files) at the same time, or does the launcher only allow one?

You can switch which binary you run from the launcher gear icon in the top right.
