So i must wait 2 weeks till next patch. Thats long time. PGI should fix such bugs ASAP, not with usual patch schedule.

Drop the TC for the time being? That's what I did.

Or play IS in the meantime.

Oh, and by the way: I think we've got quite a different understanding of what "gamebreaking" means.

Seems like clans have been doing fine without the crit increase. If anything they need to remove it to keep balance.

[mogs01gt]

replace tc with DHS, profit!

"Literally Unplayable"

[Tyler Valentine]

I just sold all my Clan 'mechs...

[sycocys]

So you put your tonnage back into DHS which is more useful than a mild crit increase anyhow. It's not like most mechs have much structures to blast away in the first place.

Or you use the TC's for what they were clearly actually buffing - clan auto-cannons.

This thread is a joke, right?

[Amsro]

Take out targeting computer, get crit chance back and have a cooler mech.

Very unplayable....

[Aetes Nakatomi]

I'm not too bothered about the crit chance I fit them for the AC projectile speed buff.

I do have a question somewhat on topic, does the projectile speed increase also affect ER PPC?

nah, just salty and exaggerated

[Felicitatem Parco]

Sub for Clan Active Probe.

Neutralizes ECM from nearby enemy units, too! This placeholder should make the game playable for now.

Yes they do.

[Aetes Nakatomi]

Thanks Mcgral, I had a feeling they did but couldn't remember. An idea for a build popped into my head while at work. Looking forward to getting home and giving it a try.

[Mechteric]

Don't use targeting computer, it's not even that much worth the tonnage anyway for the other perks unless you have a crapload of weapons that would benefit

The term "game breaking" is generally reserved for issues that make the game cease to function in a way that allows you to participate in game play.

Examples of game breaking issues:

• Game crashes to desktop during matches or loading screens.
  
• Weapons don't fire when trigger is pressed
  
• Game freezes up
  
• Multiple or consistent incidents of low fps

So while it is admittedly less than desirable to have the crit bonus from the TCs missing, the game is still quite playable despite that.

or
a bug that causes the launcher to crash even after using the repair tool.

Although steam launch works fine.

bug with the TC? can someone explain this to me, I've heard nothing of it

[S 0 L E N Y A]

Yes.

It makes to got 10% faster for the TC II which is a WHOLE 1320 meters a second. Which is still too slow, as it can be dodged at anything over optimal range.
