I knew it... It's the spiders... They get everywhere, and leave that webbing, slowing things down, making the server wave its hands around and forget what it was doing for a few seconds...

[Deathshade]

it probably points at a deeper issues on the first spawn. I have noticed a tendency to almost fall through some maps right after spawn. By almost, I mean it almost like a yoyo affect where you fall through, get caught, fall through, etc...

Greetings,

I have not yet seen a post from PGI regarding the URL for the patch file as I post this. So I am asking,

Is the following the correct URL to obtain the patch file for the hotfix via downloaded file?:

"http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/frontend/FrontendPatch_336.zip"

Please respond and confirm or correct this URL as soon as possible?

Thanks in advance,

[FallGuy0815]

Thanks in advance,

It is only 6 MB, you use more bandwith playing a single game. Any specific reason you need to patch manually?

Hi FallGuy0815,

Are you on Steam? The file I downloaded was only 54kB. We have an ISP who will not refrain from messing with downloads, e-mail etc. They seem to think that the use of blacklists is a way to do things. I have found that the only way I can reliably accomplish things is to make sure I have the files to verify. It is not just a matter of size.

Have a great day,

Yeah, i am on steam. Sorry that you have such a special ISP. If it helps, the patch changed only 5 files, here are the MD5-Sums:

In my gameroot folder:
ef888d997bcbd4491ff601c313ef26a8 build_info.xml
e85b02d28dec0f6527c585bfe9654561 game_version.dll

In my Bin64 folder:
83cbeb3a063dfdaf6c9a8bd7a9338ee4 CryRenderD3D9.dll
5d96c7bce759accdc1da16e0434302e5 CryRenderD3D11.dll
26d3f729e6f4c297242fa50699462879 MWOClient.exe
I _think_ they should be the same for steam and Stand-Alone, but do not panic if the checksums differ. But if you can verify these, you should be good to go.

Great day to you too.

are they talking Sun Spider or the other Spider

[Rhialto]

My fault guys and gals... I swear I didn't know!

The Spider. If they meant the Sun Spider, they would say so.

[Akillius]

wow I gotta play spider even more!
Currently on a kitfox kick

[GamerPro4000]

Haha this just shows how much the Spider has been neglected. Not only is it ignored by the MWO community because being a mediocre mech, but even the devs didn't bother to put any focus on the spider until the mech came back with a vengeance.

[jjm1]

Named and shamed by PGI itself.

You messed up good Spider.

[NARC BAIT]

sounds like a challenge to see how many spiders we can get on the field at once ...

[Redrumcomet]

since this hot fix, the game has been crashing a few minutes after logging in and getting to the home screen for me

[D V Devnull]

Heh... Wow... I got badly-delayed from watching this thread, and now there's soooooooo much to talk about! <*Dives In*>

Hi there. Yeah, that's the HotFix Patch File alright. For everyone's reference...

• Version --- 1.4.171.0 (And PGI Fixed the Version Number this time!)
  
• Patch Download File Size --- ~54 KB

...and Thank You for getting out ahead of even me and finding that first!

I really wish PGI would stop falling down on the job, being as there are ISPs who screw with anything not done in a Web Browser.

The spider has strands deep into the code... be careful all!!

*puts on tinfoil hat*

I like the humor, but this isn't quite so 'Conspiracy-Loaded'... This time around, the Spider was getting around and wreaking havoc.

This cannot be labled as hotfix because by definition a "Hot Fix" is an update while the servers are LIVE, the fact that there is a downtime means the server is not LIVE or "HOT"

So every hotfix so far was a little patch. Well.....fine....I guess?

Compared to the Monthly Update Patch, this indeed is MERELY a HotFix. (It's the Second HotFix for This Month, by the way!) Sure, the servers had to be brought down briefly, but that's due to the nature of the CryTek Client & Server code. They literally are not designed with the ability to remain running when the executables need a Code-Altering Update. Of course, I don't really think ANYTHING is?

I can not speak/read German, but I get your joke in the English anyway. But then it makes me jokingly ask...

WHAT GOOD-LOOKING WOMAN ARE YOU SPYING ON, YOU TWISTED PERSON?!?!?!?

...because somebody had to ask that.

Eh... What's this? What ancient Bug are we referencing here that I am sadly unaware of? I am now curious!

Sounds like your computer is underpowered... Like, SEVERELY UNDERPOWERED... I remember seeing that kind of 'Yo-Yo Effect' on an old game that ran on the first versions of the Unreal Engine, and the system that was on at the time was also underpowered. It took one hell of an upgrade before that stabilized, but I hope your computer won't need too much of an upgrade to play MWO properly.

Only if Matt Newman and/or Tina Benoit (and/or any other PGI Staff capable of doing this) decide to launch a 35% Off (or 40% Off, which I would be even more thankful for) Sale on the Spider Mech Chassis, AND put an Event alongside it. But hey, I bet they wouldn't take up THAT dare, even though they have a perfect opening for it... *hint 'n' tease* ...They could call it the "Really Wacky Bugs Challenge & Sales", and add other Bug-Named Chassis to the Challenge as well, including Sales for each of those...

Kill it with fire, followed by nuking it from orbit, it really is the only way to be sure.
Aside, if you ever want to read a book that makes you like spiders give https://www.goodread...hildren-of-time a try.
