I'm really jealous of you guys lol Posted Image I can no longer play MWO after the latest patch, so I can't try out the new game modes and the Archer that I bought Posted Image

What happened was that I was originally unaware that my hard drive space was almost close to full capacity when I ran the patch, so it alerted me but it still tried to complete the process. I got the feeling that it never really did even though it still allowed me to hit PLAY. I clicked on it just to see what would happen and, lo and behold, the game wouldn't load. It gets stuck immediately once the game's window pops up, but I see nothing but a black screen with no sound or anything, so I I don't see the cutscene animation of the Atlas followed by the login screen, etc.

So, the next thing I did was run the repair tool. It did its thing, it spotted some corrupted files and fixed them I think, but after hitting PLAY it still resulted in the same problem. So I uninstalled the game and removed the other stuff that was cluttering up my hard drive space to begin with. I made sure that any leftover files were deleted and I also ran CCleaner. I then downloaded the client and reinstalled it again. Same problem. Just to be on the safe side I uninstalled once more and reinstalled it on a different hard drive. Same problem.

I also checked out these stickies:

No dice.

Hey guys, I fixed my issue. It turns out that MWO is just not compatible with the Xbox One controller plugged in. I use the controller for other games and not for MWO obviously, but I tend to leave it plugged in. The odd thing is that before the recent patch I never ran into this problem, but now I do after the patch. What's even more strange is that MWO works with the Xbox 360 controller plugged in. So in short, the Xbox One controller and MWO just don't work well together lol Posted Image

Anyway, moderators please feel free to close this thread or mark it as "solved". Thanks!
