IDK how I got two versions of the portal. As for rebuild, would it hurt anything to just uninstall MWO completely (all three apps), and start over? My brain is already starting to hurt, thinking about this stuff.
It makes my head hurt as well... Seems like when things go wrong, it always happens in a manner where fixing it is a real nightmare.
Anywho, I just had to double-check something after seeing '
Tarl Cabot's posting back on the previous page. It seems the "2.0.0.0" item is indeed the PTS thing, as I found another entry further down in mine for a "1.6.0.0" which would be my super-ancient entry that needs to not get touched. My error on that one, sorry...
If you're going to rebuild from scratch, I wish you good luck and that everything goes right. (
I've thankfully never been forced to rebuild, so I am unable to recommend either way... my usual thing is helping someone fix a problem before the nuclear option happens... Sorry!!!) Make sure to listen to '
Tarl Cabot's posts regarding this mess. Also, make sure to back-up all of the following...
- Screenshots (no reason to lose those memories of the more noteworthy times)
- Mech Icons (ending up looking at a smattering of stock images later is not fun)
- Mech Loadout & Skills Files (avoid losing your personal design work there)
- Weapon Group Information (resetting all of that would be hell to fix)
- anything else related to MWO that you built, and must NOT be lost
...because it's a whole lot better to back-up your data, and not regret later about losing something you really wanted and/or needed to have. I believe you can find most of that stuff within the "C:\Users\<<
your user ID>>\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\" directory area to retrieve for your personal safekeeping?

Going though steam really isn't an option, it will wreck the other games I have in steam.
I saw what you said about that. Is there no way in Steam that you can disable Auto-Update for your various games & software which you've acquired through there? I heard rumor that stopping it was possible, but I am unable to confirm that myself as I've not been a Steam user in the past.
As it is, I feel like we're all missing something about how to Repair that darned MWO Portal itself... I hate when that creeping feeling like I and/or others missing something is bothering the back of my mind.

P.s.: since U mentioned Win7 u know, that U can still upgrade to win 10 for free?
Please re-read the thread... '
kalashnikity' already indicated they are on Win10 currently. And if you're talking to me about that, it happens that my Win7 system is unable to go Win10 without basically being dragged to ground.
