Will there be an announcement?

Patch? Hotfix? Server maintenance?

I thought it was for an MW5 update.

What would the MWO servers have to do with an MW5 update? Doesn't make sense.

These Season are one of the reasons, along with the Mechdivisions, the whole thing does not work.
Imho a working Solaris is based not on leagues but a challenge/revanche System...

The seasons could work. If they were ONE month long, not THREE. People flock to Solaris at the start of each season (cause event), then it dies off again. Making them a monthly thing might keep people interested.

I just wish the divisions followed weight classes a bit better. If there's one thing I hate as an assault pilot, it's not being able to do anything to the guy humping your legs simply because he's so short that all your shots go over him. "Realistically", you'd be able to kick or club him, or something, but there's no melee.

On top of that, Piranhas are constantly being pitted and measured against assault 'mechs. I want to fight one in a 'mech that can move the same speed. I guarantee that if Piranhas were only ever pitted against Jenners, they'd be going down in division, instead of constantly going up. The combination of missiles, and the height and speed similarities to use them... Or even Adders. I always took a Puma in the Light division of Solaris in MW4, and I'd love to do so, here, but it's up against heavies and some assaults in MWO. I want to use it against other lights.

I know everyone argues "Divisions are based on performance in Solaris", but they all have their root in QP performance, because for Solaris Season 1, they didn't have Solaris metrics to go by, and they split everything up based on performance, anyway, not by weight. PIR-1 has NEVER been pitted against another light, except another Piranha.

And now it's after 10 AM on Patch Day -- May 19, 2020... But there's NOT a Patch Announcement to stage the Download File from. :(

WHAT THE HECK HAS GOTTEN INTO PGI'S PATCH HANDLERS LATELY?!?!?!? :angry:

Well I hope they patched the crash condition.

My launcher downloaded a patch which seems like more than just a season reset.

What kind of "crash condition" do you speak of? :blink:

Lots of crashes since the group queues were merged into QP.

The patch is 7.4 MB. Probably just enough to fit the new old Solaris warhorn (which have been identical but for season title since season 4)

Hi again, Everyone. I went to the extensive trouble of giving everyone a hand with being able to get the Patch Files if they want to do it themselves. You can CLICK HERE to go read that Unofficial Thread, should you so desire. Let's hope an Official Announcement gets posted by PGI's Staff, eh? B)

Yeah, I had noticed my Game Client crashing a little more since patching up on the previous cycle. Let us both hope it all works out, and crashes less. :)

Are you on Steam? I only had to deal with an ~4.55 MB download on the Standalone setup. :huh:

I can't confirm that observation, seen no more crashes than I usually do (which is pretty much none)

Yep, good catch.

@solaris7 - maybe they'll patch in a map-wide UAV that holds a lock for you, if you ask them nicely.

Does the crash occur on the same map every time? Happened to me not too long ago whenever I tried to load Solaris City. Ran a file verification on my game installation and it actually re-downloaded quite a bit. Maybe your disk drive threw a sector.

So we actually had to "patch", but what changed, if anything? Hell, I was actually hoping a couple 'mechs would bump up a division or two (The Corsair with 6 AC/2's definitely belongs in Div 1 with the other mass-AC/2 spam, and the Rifleman IIC-2 should probably move up a div or two for the same reason), but nothing seems to have moved, that I can tell.

Also, can we PLEASE stop getting the crappy season 4 warhorn? I really liked the Season 1 warhorn. If we're getting reused assets, can we get that, instead? Please? Pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top?
