Just got two matches in. Quicker wait times than last night. Tried for a third but got booted from the sever and then the load screen kept running.

Will try again a little later.

Question that I haven't seen asked or answered (but I gave up reading after page 7 and skipped to page 17, where page 7 was basically being duplicated).

I'm not getting any Faction Points at the end of matches, but there's nothing being said about the Probation period. Is this broken by the new system? How is that supposed to work, or are we just supposed to ignore that for now?

Ignore it for now... probation period is going to get removed completely.

As for the points, there's a reward table that might be broken at the moment. Just trying to get PTS 'working' at the moment.

Patch will be going up at 4PM PDT (11PM UTC).



That being said, engineers are seeing SOME spam going on. It's very short lived but it happens. If anyone sees Error 63, try queuing again in 5 mins after you get the error. Like I said, they're saying the spam issue is short lived (unlike the 30-90mins from before).

Seems better after patch

You really should allow us to change sides, at least MERCs and FreeLancers!!

Okay what is the point of running a BUGGY pts to test whether players are being matched properly if the matching is based on the ridiculous formula of the existing PSR ?! If forty players happen to consist of 8 good ones and 32 terribads... and six of the good go steiner as a six person group, and six of the bad happen to be together on marik... and everyone else is solo... we still end up with the same ridiculous sorting as on the live server... of six good players on one team being being with six bad ones, facing anywhere from 10 to 12 bad ones on the other side. Tier 1 is FULL of terrible players.. fix the elo system for faction warfare FIRST and test that... then test a matchmaker to sort them apart. otherwise all you're doing is putting the cart ahead of the horse and wasting our collective time.

Might not be relevant, but I have been unable to log into the PTS on my account, "Incorrect email/password" error; despite it being the correct login information.

I assumed this was because my account simply doesn't exist on the PTS, but I was also curious if there was a quick fix for this?

kraus0614, on 10 April 2019 - 01:38 PM, said:

Holy hell, I still cannot log into the PTS. I can log into the regular servers just fine. Do the developers even care or are they trying to push everyone to MechWarrior 5?

Edit: I don't even care about the new CW testing anymore. I just want to complete the challenge for the free 'Mech bay. It's not like we will be listened to anyway...

I think the last time they took a snapshot of the live to use in Test was back in Jan, I could be wrong.
I know I have an account 3 weeks old now, and I get the same, but any account I already have, has been created long before last Jan, and no issues

Feed back from my time on OC last night.

Logged in about 7pm (my time)

Enough people finally showed up around 9pm for 12v12 Assault matches. Games launched straight away.

Played 3 games back to back (around 1030 now). Queue dropped to about 10/4

Queue crept back up to 12/12 by about 1130pm when I got my 4th and last game for the night.

War log showed Steiner 1 win, Marik 3 wins. Did not hang around for the phase to update.

Summary 5 hours, 4 matches and about 1000 games of solitaire played and many you tube music videos played.

Note: player numbers are not PGI's fault on the PTS that is normal, however you can't test the matchmaker properly when there is only one possible match available. I am not even sure there is a solution to that problem.

Fortunately the matches were reasonably balanced although the Mariks did seem to have the better players as they won 3/4. But no game was a stomp either.

If you need me to continue to log in for testing I will when I can.

[C337Skymaster]

Much better after patch (though I only started trying a few minutes before it went up).

Though I was told to ignore it, I have some observations about the Faction Points: I picked "loyalist" today, and am getting points (post patch), but I think I picked "Mercenary" last night, and wasn't getting points. Just in case those are related...

Having trouble loading the mechbay after a match, though...

EDIT: Error 63 is back

Scouting phase just ended and error 63 is still up...

[Dee Eight]

Great just did the pts update patch, now if repeated says zero people are in the queues and if i click "fight now" i get "failed to find match" error over and over. Okay I'm done wasting time on this pts. I do NOT need the cbills, mech bay or warhorn anyway, I simply thought I'd help the future of the game... but clearly that thinking was in error. You're not ready for players to actually test anything. I got in 4 matches on my alt account and one match on this one yesterday before i started getting error code 63. Today I managed 3 matches on this account of which one was this weird 4 vs 4 skirmish invasion with drop decks and then things stopped functioning altogether. That's it. Done with it.

It worked fine for me last night. Today I patched & now I'm getting the error code 63

Yep, me too. Patched and now getting the error 63.

[-Spectre]

I was able to log in initially, and when I got to the mechlab, it gave me error 63, before I clicked any buttons. I went ahead and tried to queue up just in case it would let me, and it would not even let me get to pledging loyalty to a faction. So I closed the game and tried to open it again, and when I tried to log in it gave me error 63. So I tried closing and reopening a couple of times, and it didn't work, so I ran the repair tool and tried again. It still gives me error 63 every time I try to log in. I saw that error 63 was a known error when trying to queue up, but I am getting it at login. Are there any known solutions to this?

[JonDoeIowa]

I was able to log in, play 3 matches, each match ended with an Error 63 on leaving. Now I am unable to load back into the server. I continually get the error 63 message.

[Web Death]

Also getting Error Code 63 on Log in. Tried Closing/Reopening the PTR client. No Change.

[ValiantSr]

Logged in hit fight now .... nothing .... tried again ...... nothing, let it sit for a second got 3 pop ups in a row (Failed to find match). Logged out tried to log back in Error 63. Shut it all down, opened up tried to log in Error 63. So I guess no more public test tonight.



While in before hitting fight now I did note the "story" / info was there and had changed from last one basically the same just a little further along.
