Apparently, there has been a new mode added. It's the "invasion recalled due to weather" mode.

You count down, launch....then return to the lobby. Pretty cool. Not sure how many cbills I made for it, but it was a good half hour of fun.

Kept trying to drop into Vitric Forge on Genoa and every time the counter hit zero, we would get the loading screen for a few seconds and then the counter would start over at 59. We still had 35 mins on the attack phase. After the 4th time we got kicked out of the group and got a message that said. "The lobby has been destroyed."

Also. While we were waiting, I noticed several badges on the screen were flickering.

Dude, it's fun!

We're calling it the "hurry and ***** about PGI before we get locked down for another 5 minutes" game.

Can't drop. After countdown, says "Connecting" for ~15sec and then starts counding down from 1min again.

[Alexander Garden]

Yeah I merged the posts to keep it all in one place. The merge process defaults to whichever thread was created first.

No major update to the CW issue right now, but engineers and QA are on it.

[RustyBolts]

Thanks Alex. Looks like Pugland for now.

C W not working since this new patch, says connecting then returns you back to loading screen then says lobby destroyed.

[Dimento Graven]

Still no word on a hot fix? If this doesn't get fixed it's really gonna mess with Wed Night Warfare tomorrow.

[Ripper X]

It would be nice to hear some kind of news. Bad or good. An update is better than no update at all.

[Brian Windover]

Hello everyone,

We are still looking into why this issue is occurring. I will post here with any little update we have.

Again sorry for an inconveniences this maybe causing.

Cheers,
Brian

Brian in the future can you create a new post instead of editing one. We were still trying to drop.

Still no fix I see. Some of us actually like CW, it's our preferred game mode. I know we are in the minority but still. No official announcement about it either. I have found myself posting this on Reddit and everywhere else due to PGI's lack of info. I know you all are working on it, and I thank you for that, I think I am just sour because it has been a bad night for me.

[Rosscoe]

Lets give it another day or two.

For now lets all go hit the group que and see how broken it is since PSR installment or break it ourselves

[RjBass3]

Ya that's cool, but some official info on the home page of the site so people know. That would certainly help.

I'm sure the programming team will give us an update as to what went wrong when they've had a chance to isolate the issue and resolve it.

Effectively what's happening right now is that you can get a 12 man to attack or pick up players to form up and get placed into an attack/defense sector on a planet (get a match), but when the countdown timer hits zero the match tries to connect for about a minute (seemingly long wait time) before it resets the timer and countdowns again. This happens approximately 4-6 times before your client gets kicked out back to the home screen or mechlab and you get an error message saying the game lobby was destroyed.

Your CW drop deck mechs aren’t in match, but you can’t use them or drop with them, while in a regular group, so basically they are locked for about 30 minutes, I need to test this more, because there is no message on the mech icon saying they are in match or the option to rejoin isn’t there. While waiting with a 12 man on attack, a lot of the badges flickered almost like a chain of Christmas tree lights, but it could also be a refresh or rendering issue. Also, the 240 ton drop deck also blanks out all your mechs and then flickers or rolls the icon portrait of your mech when you select an another mech in your drop deck to be the first drop.

Our CW 12-man disbanded after our lobby got destroyed and entered regular drops before trying any further tests. While the issue is being worked on, you should drop regular solo or group queue with your mates and enjoy the new Forest Colony map and make precious cBills and chase after cookies, because a hot fix is very likely nigh!
