Thanks for working on it. Having a blast with it so far.

[King Phoenix]

Rad. Also having a blast. Thanks PGI!

Why are you reducing the difficulty? It is not difficult to play on the expert at all. The whole point of the challenge disappears. This is desgra.

[Artemus Prime]

Oh, man. I already finished the campaign:(

[Rinkata Prime]

Battlegrid

Battlegrid improvements required, otherwise Steam achievment to use Battlegrid is of the legendary level of difficulty, lol. Seriously, check global achievments it is one of the rarest to be unlocked.

• The Battlegrid should use the same controls as those used to control the mech - whatever is binded instead of WASD.
  
• Selecting group mates on the Battlegrid should use controls binded to do so.
  
• All other Battlegrid controls must be customized in the settings.

Selecting camo pattern...

The whole interface is very strange, but at least add the ability to scroll through camo patterns with the mouse wheel and left and right arrow buttons.

• Mouse wheel up - scroll to the left (show more)
  
• Mouse wheel down - scroll to the right (return to the beginning)

Another idea is to place the camos vertically on the side of the screen, and have them scroll with the mouse wheel and up and down arrow buttons in an intuitive way.

And sorry, but seriously

• Why camo patterns starts at the right and have to be scrolled to the left, while horizontal content in most popular software starts at the left and have to be scrolled down to the right?
  
• Why customized camo patterns added to the end of the list, so user have to scroll (click all damn camos to scroll) all the way to the end to place desired camo for every new mech... This is a heavy sigh.

They should make a new difficulty and actually make it difficult, like an NG+
I’m guessing they did it so it’s easier for the general (MechDad™️) audience, but it’s really a lot easier when you have your star mates in a formation and focus fire on targets.

Optimization after this patch has become worse and very much worse. It was DLSS -DLAA and even the menu couldn't load for a long time, FPS dropped by 30 frames in battle. I set DLSS to the best quality, the menu began to load faster and 60 FPS returned in battle. But on average, the picture quality has become worse. Many people have problems with optimization.

UAC5 SLD looks weird on Hellbringer. Placed in both arms. Left arm ok, right - not.

Did you fix the voice over in the final crusader cinematic where if refers to Jayden as the incorrect rank? (Trying to avoid spoilers)

[AmbidXtrousGNOME]

Another Bug:
After a mission brief, when you are viewing your drop deck and can launch the mission. I found that when I go to the mechlab to make changes the ESC key no longer works (doesn't go back a menu). However, when I complete a mission and before watching the next brief and viewing the drop deck, the ESC key works as intended.

[Rinkata Prime]

Timber visual bugs.

“Gun box” remains if ballistic weapons are removed. This is not happen to the left side torsos.
- TBR-Prime Right Torso
- TBR-N Right Torso
- TBR-S Right Torso

Lower energy hardpoint glitches when not present, or empty.
- TBR-Prime Left Torso
- TBR-A Left Torso
- TBR-N Left Torso

[Rinkata Prime]

Does the Ballistic Cooldown pilot skill affects machinegun RoF? If so (hope so) better mention it in the skill's description.

[Rinkata Prime]

Mist Lynx with both melee arms plays left arm melee attack animation for the right arm melee attack.

I emailed support about it after I made my original post about the issue, they said it was forwarded to the appropriate department.

I noticed better performance after the patch, but there are millions of different combinations of computer parts and software that people use, so I assume that PGI would need examples of hardware / software setups from a good number of all these people who are having performance issues, so they can try to find a common cause.

My brother ran into this bug, where the ESC key stops working while we were playing this weekend.
