Hopefully the crash fix will help with the Oceanic server drops/disconnects. Otherwise, never going to go on them again.

Very good. The list of things to improve in the UI grows shorter and shorter.

There are still plenty of bugs that exist in the UI though...

Hot fix sounds awesome. However ... Will we be getting the dynamic mech portraits in the Skills tab, instead of the stock portraits?

Dynamic portraits wouldn't be able to work in the same way under the current system. We're looking at options, but the Skills tab currently counts two or more of the same chassis variant as a single entry; so if you have two Commando TDK's, you only need to unlock the Skills for that variant once. The unlocks will apply to both of your Death's Knell's.

Good thinking, I don't personally own any duplicates but I'm sure there's a non-zero number of people who do. Any chance of a collage, Brady Bunch title screen sort of thing if there are multiples? It might prove too complex to address (some nut might have 100x of the same mech) but it's a bit of a shame to have the portraits not be unified for the rest of us.

Thanks for the response!

All I can say is FINALLY

Sorry... I´ve been longing for this one for a while now.

Hotfix soon™.

Would be nice if someone got to the bottom the disco situation on the Oceanic servers.

so, for us with 1280x720... we will have to "update" all mechs again ? ou....

Maybe not - the portraits are already captured, and it's still using whatever resolution you're using as I read it. We might simply see a change in resolution going forward when we update the 'mechs, or just have them all reduced to 1080 resolution.

A fair number of competitive players of my acquaintance bought multiples of various overpowered 'mechs (Like certain Firestarters) in order to set up CW drop decks. As for portrait unification, it would be nice, but I'm not sure how high a priority I'd want it to be. It's subjective, though; your mileage may vary.

Looks like a previously fixed bug is back in the mix. Looking into this right now.

The changes to portrait resolution were not part of today's hot-fix. The gamma and brightness issues should be fixed, though.

so confirm, bars are repaired.

For the next patch (the one trailered in these notes) could you please consider some visual separation between rows in the select mech view. Superquick paint.net example below.




Interestingly, this seems to be a common problem for designers: my day job is as an in-house designer for a professional services firm (very mixed: print/digital pub, web/app, video) and I see vertical spacing problems from outside designers quite frequently, particularly in typesetting -- headings need to be associated with their content, not floating equidistant between the preceding block and the associated block!

NB: this problem will be exacerbated at resolutions where there are fewer "columns" or if a change is made to the number of mech "columns" -- it's entirely possible that for the chassis with a large number of variants, two mechs of the same chassis could be vertically aligned. With the existing layout, it will be less than immediately obvious to which portrait the title belongs

After clicking a planet, pressing attack/defend and then canceling the map righted itself again.

Positiv here, works.
