New problem that appeared today (has been working consistently in last week, so not a patch issue).

1) Load client successfully, enter user e-mail & password

2) Client then goes to game window and MWO loading screen, but the 'loading' circle in bottom right appears frozen for ~3 seconds.

3) Game then minimizes down to task bar. Clicking back on game loads for split second on frozen screen then re-minimizes. Alt-tabbing to game does the same.

Attempted fixes already that did not work:
- Completely uninstalled & reinstalled game
- Restarted computer (both before and after reinstall)
- Alt-tabbing and windows-tabbing to game

Computer specs (has been running MWO successfully for months):
Lenovo Legion
Intel I7 10750H
16 GB RAM
Windows 10 64-bit
Nvidia GeForce 1060 6gb

Any help or ideas appreciated

You can delete your shader cache in C:\Users\[your windows account name]\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\Shaders

I think the MWO user directory is not removed after uninstalling the game.

Thanks a ton! It does let me load it in windowed form. For some reason if I switch it back to full screen, it goes back to the flash minimizing until I clear the cache again and reload.

Oh well - at least it works! Greatly appreciated, MrVaad!

I see you have a 10th gen Intel. Have you tried this Fix for 10th gen and later Intel CPUs and MWO?
