No Autosave? Mine goes to the screen to "Begin Mission". Can't check now if that's an Option on the Menu or if it's on for all, but I have an Autosave for each mission/contract.

I did too, but that one was gone... ahh well, from slumming it, I've got a Cat C1 now... maxed the armour, 4 MLas and two LRM/10's she makes a good IDF unit, though not super usefull for the up comming mission sadly....

Spoiler

Have to kill 6 tanks, two of them each have two PPC's while the other four either have AC/5's or AC/10's... I'm not sure as I didn't get smacked around by them, used my dragons to step on them quickly... then comes the quad turret defenses that all have a ton of HP, with more tanks that spawn..

I know I can do it, as at least it's not timed like Liberation Panzyer or the other one, but not having my usual lance is a bit of a pain....

Update:

Just found the mission where I've got to hit a SLDF outpost Castle... Little worried about it, sofar my lance includes the following:

Forced NPC with a Kintaro
My character with a freshly looted Orion (that I've configured for dual PPC's and a LRM/10)
Two CQB Dragons...

Should be interesting!

Stomp 'em. Have your range guy slowly advance up the valley and corner out the turrets. Have the other 3 stand right by where the tanks come from and stomp them as soon as they spawn.

Melee does fatal damage to vehicles. The vehicles will however keep spawning -

So when you clear the turrets (or even before) stomp the two heavies and run from the medium. The vehicles won't respawn so long as just 1 of them survive. So you just rotate out kiting the medium while you do the rest of the mission. Then get up in the cul-de-sac where the turrets were along the outside edge and focus the **** out of the vehicles when they come in 1 at a time.

Just like MWO - be super aggressive. Aggression wins matches

If anyone is still crashing before anything loads at all, be sure you have either a NVIDIA or Radeon video card. There's no native GPU support at all.

Don't know or understand why a turn-based game can't function on a rig that does just fine with FPS games, but...I guess it's either buy a card or see if I can get a refund.

It make me wonder how long this guy has been hacking MWO? And why the devs allow it In Battletech or MWO games?

Speeding up the animations in HBS Battletech has zero to do with "hacking MWO", or even hacking HBS Battletech. It's basically a global modding tool.

Battletech appears to be doing well in Steam, shooting up to the Top 20, if not the Top 10 (depending whose chart you are looking at). This is a much needed boost to the franchise.

I've been looking around for mods that add variants and/or chassis that exist in MWO but not in Battletech, like the Warhammer and all; there's plenty of threads on Reddit about that, including activating the Debug HUD in order to speed up the animations/turns.

Wait for the Harmony Gold court case to go screw itself. Then the WH, the MAD, etc. will come back into it as they were in there at one point.

[Anjian]

If this game proved truly successful, I would sincerely hope for DLCs that expand the game in terms of campaigns, mechs, characters and maps. If HG loses its case, I would hope to see the Phoenix Hawk, Marauder, Warhammer, etc,.

Better than DFA, this game also teaches me the power of the headbutt to the crotch move.

It's not an SJW game! Where the hell are people getting this from? The "they" options? It's an optional line of text in the character creator! That's it! Good lord!

There's absolutely nothing else SJW about it otherwise, and for those of us who've enjoyed playing the tabletop game and MegaMek, this is a dream come true. Does it have its issues? Yes, but don't pass it up over something ridiculously stupid like that.

The game oozes with SJW nonsense if you actually pay attention. Some of the dialogue options are along the lines of the new Star Wars where you are reprimanded for daring to question the motives of a woman.

I'll also direct you to look at the crew as you progress later into the game. Show me one white male that exists there.

Oh you can't? That's right because every 'white male' is an evil villain.

Listen, I have no issue with any people of any race. I do have issue with a game trying to act as if identity politics matter in a computer game.

"White male is an evil Villian"


"White"

[James Argent]

Without registering an opinion on the SJW-ness of the game, the statement 'every white male is a villain' (pre-lap band Penn Jillette up there aside) does not mean the same as the statement 'every villain is white.'

[MischiefSC]

There's nothing in there about questioning 'a woman'. Nothing, at any point. You're a mercenary hired by a noble to fight in their war. Mouthing off is stupid, 'breach of rank' and likely to get smacked down. If you think the leader in question being female is an issue bring it up with Natasha Kerensky, Katrina Steiner, Romano Liao, etc.

The only SJW nonsense associated with the game is a few special snowflakes who have to read that into everything.

Please, don't buy the game if that's your opinion. Don't do it. It's already exceptionally successful for being such a niche game and a huge amount of fun for people who like Battletech.

For everyone else it's been an incredibly fun game.

[Snowbluff]

I'm having a blast. I love the jankie builds that come up when I have to rebuild a mangled mech with all of the wrong parts. My spider just didn't have half of it's JJs after 2 missions, so I up armored it. My centurion is a hangar queen, though. Took forever to refit it from salvage, then it was half destroyed, and after that it got destroyed for real and took my best pilot, glitch, with it.

Is it true that you can't get blonde hair for your character but you can get blue? Ok I nearly spilled out my drink in laughter over this. I'm sorry folks, but I can't defend a game with political inundations that are this direct because it's the current year™. So be it if it is my loss if they are going to attempt to shove political correctness in a ****ing battletech game...

Thats really funny, because im a blonde, blue eyed german (literally the most evil appearance) and i cant make my own portrait like in all other games....

But i dont care because i hate everone equal no matter how they define themselves^^

Beta Patch is released - you need to set your Steam/GoG Galaxy to receive beta stuff.

Fixes mostly the Full GPU/CPU Load Thing everywhere and makes the PC run cooler and more power efficient without performance losses.

Anyone having issues with GOG client? Mine seems to be stuck on checking files and shows 0.0% progress.

This game is so good im willing to over look the long, long list of bugs and minor complaints i have about it. There is just so much win here im almost pssing my pants tbh. A few days before money day, i got like 2500 cbills in the bank and one mech..

Commander Burke took his solo centurion and cut down a full lance of pirate mechs and auto turret systems to take contol of the base and thereby save the entire merc outfit!

I feel like if they keep creating quality content for this, eg long story campaigns, ill probably keep buying. I got no idea if or why they would choose to be disciminatory or even racist towards one particular group of people, it was probably a foolish thing to do in hidsight.
