I can't get the academy to load at all, I looked into it and it seems the game is looking for files referred to the Dragon mech, which are not found in the PAK file.

Omicron log states.

These file names are not found in the current animation PAK file.

Are devs aware of this? Is there a workaround?

My recommendation for you would be to run the MWO Repair Tool first.

Launch the MWO game client and follow these steps:

Step 1. - Click on those three lines.

Step 2. - Click "Run MWO Repair Tool"

Hi thanks for the reply.
I have done that several times to no avail.

I'm going to try and delete that PAK file from my drive and get the repair tool to download that file again and see if it fixes the problem.
If not, its a bug and the recent patch probably broke it. Would just like a dev to chime in and confirm if possible.

I hope that it will work. Otherwise you will probably have to reinstall the game.

I have just visited the Academy and it works for me. So I would guess that the problem is on your end.

Do not expect the devs to come. The Academy is abandoned. There are no developers who could come.

Yep, 100% confirmed bad pak file. I deleted it and got the tool to load a fresh one, now it seems to work.
Not sure why the repair tool didn't detect the pak file as bad, maybe it was just outdated

Thread marked as resolved.

It is good that you avoided reinstalling the game.
