Greetings MechWarriors,

We have a Hot Fix incoming! Today at 2 PM PDT June 29th! See below for all the details.

The Mechwarrior Online Team

Maps

• Tourmaline Desert
• Game objects have been restored
• New Map Vitric Station
• We have not been able to Fix the intermittent "Retro Shader" issue however we have determined (with community help and QA testing) that it is only occurring on AMD Video cards. We are continuing to investigate and hope to have it resolved for the July Patch

• Added Vitric Station to Event Queue Drop Deck supported modes

Crusader

Glad to see the new Plat packs coming out!

The IS 04 pack looks really fun, esp with the Grasshopper and Panther. Also that Annihilator is a variant I see frequently in the field (relative other Annihilators.)

The Clan 04 pack looks like its entirely focused on folks who were dying to get So8 mech sets combined with Cbill bonus. So8 bonuses and plat skin colors aside, everything offered there can be mimic via hero mechs and omni pod swaps. Congrats to the folks who were dying for the very specific niche filled with this set.

see ya around, rolling hills Tourmaline

[G3 Heathen]

bare tourmaline, it was fun while it lasted (at least for my lrm builds)

[Nightbird]

Can we expect to see the new Hellebore and Emerald Taiga QP maps in FP eventually?

[Akadaa]

Platinum Shadowcat soon?

[bilagaana]

Those of us who appreciate challenges do not consider restoring Tourmaline to be a "fix".

For anyone needing the Manual Download Link & Info for the June 29, 2022 HotFix...

• Version —–> 1.4.264.0
  
• Size ———> slightly under 84 MB
  
• File ———> "http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/frontend/FrontendPatch_404.zip"

...and I'll wish you all a nice day.


In the meanwhile, I get to hope that these disconnects & crashes stop with this HotFix that only started with the last Monthly Game Patch being added. My system did not change, and I made sure MWO's installation never got messed up, so these issues should seriously never have started. If this particular HotFix Patch repairs whatever is going on, then I'll definitely toss a 'Like' on the Official Posting up top. Until then, the following emoji describes how I feel...

UPDATE: THE SERVER CONNECTION LOSS MONSTER HAS REARED ITS' UGLY HEAD AGAIN... JUST ENDED UP FORCED TO DIE ON THE FIRST MATCH OUT SINCE THE HOTFIX PATCH... FIX THIS ONGOING ISSUE, PGI's MWO TEAM!!!

~D. V. "does not tolerate their Mech being ripped from them via server connection loss" Devnull

[C E Dwyer]

the match maker still broken..?

[MrFatBard]

im still getting this error, it might be related to using a vpn but that shouldnt be an issue, idk anyway it says this

caught exception checking version, this is likely due to internet connectivity issue blah blah blah
the remote name couldn't be reached: patcher.mwomercs.com

this problem can be circumvented by just relaunching the client a bunch of times but sometimes its kind of disheartening and i just play something else instead so fix it if you can, anyway great game glad to still be playing it after all this time

[Meep Meep]

Please please please have Francois take the 'bare' Tourmaline and turn it into a wasteland battlefield. It was so much fun being able to roam where you wanted. Just add in some central traversable hills to block the more op sniper spots and sprinkle dead mechs and blasted lrm cover terrain about.

[Areno]

Why do we have to wait until the next patch until you fixed the shaders on the map?
And why do you hope that you've solved it then?

[Johnny05]

Like others I am having issues in the last month. I cannot oatch the game through the portal, even manually. I need to run the repair tool to apply the patch and it only downloads at around 2Mbps.

"caught exception checking version" < I am getting this error too.

I have upgraded my CPU to a 5800X3D around this time.

[Max J Wolf]

The retro shader effect isn't just AMD video cards, I had it happen to me the first time I played the map and I have a RTX 2080TI, should you guys should do some more digging. The second time it was normal. Just a head up.

Kinda jealous you get the 80's themed version.

Look, I don't have that issue and I can understand wanting it to get fixed, but if they have fixes for other stuff ready to go there isn't much sense holding those up. I'm very appreciative they are rolling out fixes ASAP.

Also, it's been mentioned this is affecting AMD Graphics Card users, and that they need additional time to get to the root cause. It's coming, maybe not as fast as you want it to, but it will come.

PS: PGI... might we get a QP filter option that tells the Match Maker not to include you into the games that have specific maps in rotation for those games? This way you will clearly and quickly see which maps are being "shunned"...

This ^^^^^^^ just without the weird stuff in the ground like the dead mechs so there are no silly pixels to get stuck behind!

Agree!

I'm glad it wasn't just me who was experiencing Vitric Forge in neon purple.
