Patch Files (Direct Download)

This direct patch download process will only work for players running the standalone client. It does not apply to players running MWO through Steam.

Patch File(s): http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/frontend/FrontendPatch_282.zip

How to use these patch files

• Download the above file(s)

• For sake of ease we recommend creating a dedicated folder for the patch file(s), such as 'MWO Patch Cache'

• You do not need to unzip or unpack the patch file(s)

• Launch the standard MWO launcher

• Click the gear icon in the top right of the launcher window

• Choose the 'Specify Patch File Cache' option

• In the field that appears, paste or enter the location in which you saved the patch file(s) and hit OK

• For example, C:\Users\<username>\Documents\MWO Patch Cache

• Click the blue Patch button

• The launcher will now check the Patch Cache folder you defined. If it locates the required patch files, it will unpack and use those files to apply the patch.

• Once the patch is complete, launch the game!

Greetings MechWarriors,

• Terra Therma: Fixed an issue where the DropShip SFX could loop through the match.

It happens in more than just terra therma. I've heard it on the bog, river city, frozen city, crimsom tide, etc.

[Monkey Lover]

So the non stop beeping on terra is a feature?

[PassingWinds]

Great .. a hot fix...

I'm on day 2 of still trying to download the patch ... let alone this hot fix.

Thanks for starting the event .. I might able to start it ... in about another 2 days time I think...

[ZortPointNarf]

Thanks for the fix
The beep on therma is annoying, but i can live with it.

• "Cockpit Item Screen: Fixed an issue where Items that have been purchased and equipped were no longer listed as Equipped on other 'Mech(s)."

Any chance that you would consider adding this as a filter in future, as i really liked only being able to see equipable items. If it's not listed its equiped and you have to jump out of your mech anyway to go get it. I personally find this a superior experience.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for fixing that annoying dropship klaxon alarm on Terra Therma. Made me feel like there was some kind of urgency and I had to finish the fight quickly before my Mech melted.

[D V Devnull]

Sooooo many to reply to in one go...

Keep in mind, if we didn't get that much-needed HotFix, then we would be dealing with a freakishly broken game.

Pardon me, but how the hell did someone leave that big of a kiss on the Mech?!?!?

Strange... I haven't heard it go on for a while on those maps... Let's hope that the HotFix repairs the issues?

Excuse my curiosity, but what kind of Internet Connection do you have?

To each their different view point... However, what was happening here was potentially causing data loss. Please refer to the Bug Report thread @ http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/238449-owned-cockpit-item-bug-list-of-owned-items-does-not-remain-fully-visible/ about this issue. You'll see why it had to be fixed quickly.

Gone are the times where you could read "LRM5 here, plz lock"


(Yeah, the hopper can still do it, I know... but JumpLurming was never a thing)

...wait, that's NOT how you're supposed to feel when you drop on Terra Therma?

You're nerfing the Cataphract already?
Come on guys, it's not THAT good.

I would suggest you simply... Exchanged the head missile hardpoint for another left arm-mounted energy hardpoint

Uhm... EXCUSE ME??? Are you calling the ShadowCat something like "chopped liver"??? I've gone up in the air and LRM'd with it before!

Yeh, but the scat can has more than one single 1crit missile hardpoint, same with the shadowhawk. The only mechs with a single M point are the hopper and afaik the 4X cataphract.

[aGentleWarrior]

Nice to see you fixed that, noticed most of the mentioned bugs myself too!

However that makes me think: don't you have a test environment where you install your patches and test it?
I did not need more then a hour to notice most of that stuff.
Maybe you should not announce updates before doing a test run, or is it intended that we are the testers?
That is a common template that 1-2 days after patch a hotfix is installed...
