Launch, that is. I doubleclick the icon on my desktop and I get the little swirling circle that means something's happening, but it stops after a few seconds and nothing happens. Just encountered this tonight. I haven't changed anything to my knowledge. Restarting the computer did nothing.

Help?

Running the Repair Tool from the folder fixed the problem.

I have a similar problem in that when I double click on the desktop icon, it tells me that MechWarrior Online has stopped working. And that's it. It began late last week. Sometimes I can play, other times I cannot. Today, it seems that I cannot. I spent the morning running the repair tool and it did not rectify the issue. Submitted a ticket but due to backlog there's no telling when they'll get back to me. Rather a bummer since I had planned on playing MWO all day today...

when you restart your computer your game will not load. I've had this problem since \4/15/15. I currently can't get into game, and the repair tool does nothing since I had no missing files.

click the icon, nothing happens.

I really don't want to do a fresh install either. the program is here, it just won't Launch

Mine's hung up on a missing temp directory, check your registry at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\Production' for value TEMPFOLDER and create the path it points to, game should start again.

You sir, are my champion today.

That fixed this issue for me, it was driving me nuts.


Thank you very much.

Glad it worked for you too.

Krist Smith posted over at Patch Feedback that he's fixed the corresponding code and they're putting it through QA, so hopefully this issue will be gone soon.

That's even better news, I was going to do a full re-install to prevent this issue from popping up everyday - but considering your post obviously that would have been a wasted effort.

Thanks again!

I should have gone to college... Thanks for this awesome fix. It worked for me too!
