Greetings MechWarriors!

Today we have a quick patch update to fix input errors on the following 'Mechs, the RFL-5D, UZL-3P(C), and the SCR-PRIME(I). Downtime should be minimal.

Thank you,

-The MechWarrior Online Team

Patch Files (Direct Download)

To make the patching process easier for players with limited download caps, we'll be providing direct download links for the patch file(s) that comprise this patch. This will allow you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, for manual injection into the MWO patcher through a Patch Cache folder.

Aside from allowing you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, on another connection, there are no additional benefits to performing the patch this way; the patching process itself will be the same.

This direct patch download process will only work for players running the standalone client. It does not apply to players running MWO through Steam.

Patch File(s): - http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/frontend/FrontendPatch_389.zip

• Download the above file(s)
• For sake of ease, we recommend creating a dedicated folder for the patch file(s), such as 'MWO Patch Cache'
• You do not need to unzip or unpack the patch file(s)
• Launch the MWO Portal
• Select the three horizontal lines in the top left of the Portal Window
• Choose the 'Specify Patch File Cache' option
• In the field that appears, paste or enter the location in which you saved the patch file(s) and hit OK
• For example, C:\Users\<username>\Documents\MWO Patch Cache
• Click the blue Patch button
• The launcher will now check the Patch Cache folder you defined. If it locates the required patch files, it will unpack and use those files to apply the patch.
• Once the patch is complete, launch the game

There is still demand for Clan Wave I + Clan Wave II, and I still want my MDD-Prime(I), TBR-Prime(I), WHK-Prime(I), DWF-Prime(I), NVA-Prime(I), SCR-Prime(I), HBR-Prime(I), etc for these mega-packages (US$240 + US$120).

If only MWO/PGI can slightly relax OmniMech set bonus to Set-of-7 (instead of the full Set-of-8) so that I can equip AMS on my Timber Wolf, I personally would jump at both packages! ie: Allow swapping a maximum of one (1) torso part and still keep the Set Bonuses.

As it is right now, the Timber Wolf Warrant Hero mech is much more economical alternative as compared to TBR-Prime(I), since I'm going to lose the Set-of-8 bonuses by swapping in another AMS-equipped left torso anyways.
So why buy TBR-Prime(I) at much dearer prices?

Interestingly, just got thrown out of a game without warning. Servers offline. But the status.mwomercs.com says online? Might want to have that fixed... because that's not the first time that the status-page doesn't reflect current afairs.

[ghost1e]

Great to see things like this being fixed

[byter75]

Good to see most (but not all) of these errors being fixed sooner rather than later.

[C337Skymaster]

So WHAT was fixed, exactly? "Input errors" is hardly descriptive, and I hadn't heard of anything being wrong until the sudden patch. Just curious. I have the SCR-Prime(I), only, of those three 'mechs, but hadn't played it to notice the error.

The mechs had either missing or added digits in things like accel and turn rate. The SCR-Prime(I) would turn normally when moving, but spin uncontrollably fast when stopped:

Someone had posted a video in another thread with the Stormcrow spinning like the Tasmanian Devil, so I am assuming that is it.

The SCR-Prime(I) got an insane turn rate when it was moving at lower speeds
Rifleman 5D had abnormally high acceleration at lower speeds
The Uziel champion had abnormally low acceleration at low speeds
The Arctic Wolf 2 still has better acceleration near max speeds

• choose Alpine twice and Frost City,

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Okay, "input errors" in the code values. Nice. I was picturing certain builds not working, or something, but that's just downright hilarious, and the patch is 100% understandable, now. Thank you!!!

Talk about "spreading damage" though

[Queen of England]

ACW-2 still has a data entry issue - AccelLerpHighRate is "228.05". Other variants have either "28.05" or "30.76" - it looks like there's an extra "2" in there.

Alright... error-correcting Patch received and loaded... Thank you for posting the Link a lot more quickly (as compared to the previous one) this time!

NO bad ... fix fast. like see more fix smll make more work more players. Plz turn back old Polar Helleder plz

They should have kept the spinning-top SCR-Prime(I) as it was, as a new "feature", to entice others to buy this expensive mech

But seriously, I'm glad that the Quality Assurance for Weapons/Equipment pass was of higher quality, otherwise there would have been chaos during the April 2021 (Cauldron Weapons/Equipment Pass 1) patch.

And here's to hoping that the upcoming Quirk Pass 1 would avoid similar data input issues!
Otherwise we might end up with -100% Energy Heat Gen (rather than -10% Energy Heat Gen).

Come to think of it, if we have -100% Energy Beam Heat Gen (ie: only Lasers get this buff, and PPC does not get this buff) might be the answer to the current state of PPFLD weapon proliferation issues?

The recent mobility pass has been said to be quite a lot of work. With so many singular value inputs, I'm actually happy we ended with so few hickups and got a hotfix so quickly.
With regards to the quirk pass, I would hope this is a lot easier to input. Anyone remember

HAHAHAHAHAA!!!! I've never seen that before!! That's freaking hilarious! Definitely glad it got fixed.

[Kodan Black]

I have to say the crashes are getting rather ... too much. I had one match with 7 players DC'ed. SEVEN. It used to be roughly every 2-3 matches there would be a DC, now it is almost guaranteed one and most often several. I dunno what you guys have done but something is wrong. There should not be such a high prevalence of crashes.

[Leone]

Was it on Hibernal? I've a friend who crashes whenever we get that map.
