alternatively you could email support yourself about the issue and try to get it resolved.

you know...like an adult.

i did that too but its now 1/30/2015 an i sent an email back in the mid of last year an i have yet to get anything back from them


but i think the big problem is that PGI needs to go over the map an fix all the BUGS because who wants to waste on a map that has an 50% or higher % to DC,frezz, mech falls throw the ground "yes i have had more then 1 mech fall throw the ground an unable to move"
so eather PGI puts an map filter in or removes a map with bug problems people our not going to play it. its like you paying to drive furria after the seats and gear box removed each time the car stops an you have to put the seats an gear box back into the car one part at an time.

I can understand you wanting to intentionally DC. But could you instead just do a suicide rush please? If you were my team mate I'd rather have you go in, get slaughtered within a minute BUT also stripped the CT of an enemy already. Much more helpful for the team at least, certainly in combination with at least finding one location with enemies.

its an little hard to do that suicide rush when you get DC because of the map you know becaused your DCed. but what be help full is to removed the map tell it get fixed

As people meantioned above. Its totally Dx related. had the same issue then switched to dx11 and the issue was gone

I'm sure this has been said 50 times already, but this is clearly a sign of a corrupt file. Run the repair utility build into the launcher. It's often a good idea to run it even after a new patch.

It helps a lot.

No, its prooven as a Dx issue. The issue is known since months but not officially announced from the devs as far as i know

No luck 4 you then.Might be your old hardware. The issue on that map is known since a few months and it helped most of the ppl by switching to dx11. Also nice you take attempts to help you as a troll post. Gl with further solutions

Honestly, I ******* can't stand it anymore. I don't know what it is about The Mining Collective, but I get DCed a good 50% of the time when I'm on that map. And that's not an exaggeration. Sometimes, if I'm lucky enough to still be alive after reconnectiung, I'll get DCed again a little while later.

No more.

Until PGI fixes this map, I'm just going to cut to the chase and DC and play another Mech. There's just no point. I've got Premium Time going and I'm wasting it by CONSTANTLY being DCed on this map.

So, if you see my DC while on Mining Collective, don't bother reporting me. File a support ticket on my behalf instead.

same **** happens to me

I'll agree there. I found DX11 to be unstable in general. Framerates and stability are much better on DX9.

[Pahrias]

i also have issues with this map, thankfully not as annoying as constantly getting dc'd but i get sum pretty big fps drops, i think they are because of the light sources. im running an AMD quad core fx4300 (not a great chip i know) with a 2gb AMD graphics card radeon 6450, and the only other map i have issues on, is river city in the small tunnel area where there are multiple light sources.

[Mudhutwarrior]

What is sad is now the lights know free kills are available on the pad. Seen so many matches where as soon as you move off the lights come in or if you dc and rejoin your greeted with insta death.

One guy even predicted his crash a minute or two into the match.

i guess that was me
i crashed in 100% of my maches on Mining Collective.

but i was able to sort out the problem.
i switched from DX9 to DX11, and i never crashed again.
It pisses me that i had to switch to DX11, because the only thing it does (besides preventing me from crashing) is lowering my FPS.

I'v ebeen having problems with screen freezes and DCs on this map as well. I remember when it first came out it had a memory leak but luckily it never hit me but I've been having trouble with it ever since CW hit.

I get this (screen freezes maybe 30 secs after game start) 9/10 times on this map, most often when playing direwolf. The solution, for me, is to alt-tab to desktop, then back into the game.. 99% of the time that seems to resolve the issue. There have been odd occasions where that doesn't work, and the graphics driver dies horrifically sometimes followed by BSOD.

[Rick Rollington]

My client ALWAYS locks up on Mining Collective. If I Alt Tab out, then back in, twice, it usually averts the Crash. If I miss it by more than a few seconds, my computer stalls and I have to hard reboot. I've done everything that has been listed, but nothing works. That map just hates my computer. Normally about 2-3 minutes into the match.

Funny thing is, if I manage to avoid the Lockup, it will run sweet as for about 10mins, then try again.

Only ever happens on Mining Collective.

Irony is, it's usually as I'm hoping between two pieces of cover, and so my mech parks in the open, and by the time I Tab back in, I'm smoked.

[StraferX]

MC is the only map this happens to me as well and tried all the known fixes. Doe's not happen to often but when it does its about 30 - 60 seconds into the game so for the first minute I try to stay in an obscure route with cover so that in the event of DC I can get back in with out being dead.

One thing I have not seen mentioned is try closing the HUD as soon as you can on this map and see if this helps.
R Shift + F11 to close HUD gives a significant performance boost and I almost bet this will help the DC

I will test this out today and see what happens unless someone already has info on that. I do not normally run in that mode because my system can handle this game just fine however sometimes it's just fun to do so and really not that hard.

[Ratpoison]

I don't get disconnects on this map, but I do seem to always get horrible lag issues on it. Especially when there are only a few mechs left, there usually ends up being a very noticable 0.5-0.75 second delay between my mouse movements and my cursor movements, making aiming well nearly impossible. Sometimes the issue shows up on other maps to a lesser extent, but with this one it seems to be every single game. I always have >100 ping and I've already run the repair tool and such; there seems to be definite issues with this map. Perhaps because it's so damn glowy.

[Brizna]

I have no trouble with hat map, that said it's obvious a significant amount of people do, enough to not blame their PCs.

[Gamuray]

I also have similar issues. Had it with both 64bit and 32bit clients. Generally it's right as I leave the spawn area. If it doesn't do it within 30 sec of the match starting, then I know I'm fine. When it does go, the screen freezes between two frames (so it's a slightly streaked shimmering) and I have to bring up task manager to end it. If I alt+tab, it turns black and will keep itself in front of any window I try to bring up. Luckily I have dual monitors.. otherwise it would force me to reboot my computer manually... >_> I've had to do that once already.

I'm pretty sure it's a map issue.. due to the fact that no other maps present this much of a problem in the slightest

No thanks i'll report you so thanks for the heads up.

They announced a problem with this map and nvidia drivers a couple months ago, but supposedly it got fixed. I still DC on Mining Colony more than any other map, but lately it's been the "Unknown Error" crash - and they said that should be fixed with next week's patch. For now, I usually just apologize to my team at launch in case I crash on Mining Colony, then play through as best I can. Sometimes I finish a whole game, other times it crashes and puts me in the endless patcher loop so I have to run the repair utility and reboot before the client will even launch again (and it's always too late to re-join when that happens). I'm crossing my fingers that next week's patch fixes it.
