~15:00hours, European Servers, Tier 1.

It took me 20 mins to find a game today. I'd forgotten, I was even in queue. I'm deliberately dropping to T2.

Most people have deselected EU servers because of the server issues from last week, most likely.

Aaah didn't know, was away. Thanks for the feedback!

Be glad they did or you would have ended up being kicked back to the mechbay, that mech locked up for 15 minutes, then if you log out/back in, have most of your mechbays empty of mechs, until that locked mech is released back to the game. Then it would have required you to log out and back in to have those mechbays repopulated.

Are those Issues resolved ?

We will let you know once it is back to normal function.

There has been no such announcement so far.

Thx, I thought so, just was confused by the comment I replied to a bit .

The info text scroll at the bottom of the mechlab says to deselect the EU servers. Guess no one pays any attention to it.

[Tarl Cabot]

And for those who, for one reason or another, still cannot change the servers within the game, please review the following to make a change to one game file.

Scroll down to the folder C:\Users\Windows log in name\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\Profiles then the folder with your pilot's name.

Locate and open up attributes.xml with notepad. Cntrl F (Find bar) then search for Region. Change the number to match which server(s) you want to be selected then save. Make sure you are logged completely out of the game before editing.

<Attr name="RegionSelection" value="1"/> NA only
<Attr name="RegionSelection" value="2"/> EU only
<Attr name="RegionSelection" value="3"/> NA-EU only
<Attr name="RegionSelection" value="4"/> OC only
<Attr name="RegionSelection" value="5"/> NA-OC only
<Attr name="RegionSelection" value="6"/> EO-OC only
<Attr name="RegionSelection" value="7"/> NA-EU-OC (all 3 default)

Without European Server:

Just cancel your QP queue, then press QP again.
It should work!

I'm just taking a break from the game because of all the issues. I am now getting knocked out of matches before I fully join the game and then can't use my mech in other matches. That and the LONG loading times.

I'm done for now. Hope they get it fixed before my vacation in a couple of weeks.

Against better judgement I decided to take an Orion out tonight and I don't think the game really wants me to. Can't find the darned server I guess.

Only check the Oceanic server for the short term if you are in tier 1. That seems to be where the bulk of them are at.

European server has been taken down.
North American server hamster died.

Leaves only the Ausies able to play. Expect long queue times.

I'm sure many many people have just wandered off to do something else. The server issues are just infuriatingly bad. This may be the end of MWO, as it could be hard to get those people to come back. Reduced population causes more people to leave. The death spiral.

Sure hope the few pennies they saved with cheap servers was worth it.

Jut to toss out some tinfoil I think they wouldn't bat an eye if mwo went under. They want to focus on their single player franchises and keeping mwo on life support is a drain they don't want to keep doing.

I doubt it goes that deep. It's free money at this point. Nobody doesnt like free money.

True and the new owners have the ultimate say in what happens. But from a core pgi standpoint I'm pretty sure they are done with this game and want to move on. It's a painful reminder of some fairly serious mistakes that basically killed the game from breaking out of niche territory.

There are costs involved in keeping it up. I'm not sure if the amount of money coming in offsets that so much that MWO is profitable.

Know what's weird? My wait times dropped a bit, or seemed to when I bounced back up to T2 from T3 (not entirely thrilled about it but whatever).

It seems that my waiting times have improved a bit.
