There's currently an outrage in progress on beta forums due to a delay in patch release. 500+ posters are currently spamming the announcement thread. It is quite funny too.

yep it is, and now the forums are on the verge of collapse. lol

[Listless Nomad]

PS - it was delayed again

[Monsoon]

Aye, things should be getting back to normal, now that an update has been provided (and they wisely chose to lock the thread.)

[The Raptor]

They're either doing their best or they're on permanent coffee break. Personally I'm not that bothered either way

[superbob]

I just enjoyed the riot while it lasted...

[Rugarou]

Delay was due to the dev's taking care of business as they should. Squashing some bugs and performance issues that popped up last minute. The delay is a good thing folks.

[Sug]

lol @ 306 users reading that post.

[Wolferine]

what i dont understand is that they are trying to make sure they dont get a messed up patch like the other one and doing their best to give us ALL a BIG patch with no crashes, yet ppl are CRYING that they are making sure its a good patch when we all know that if they gave us a half *** patch they would be rage-quiting and crying a bigger storm then with a little delay

[FinnMcKool]

Not totally true, there are many of us who support the devs in not releasing a patch thats not ready.
Its to their credit that they are more honest and open then some **********************************
all I would like is to see the Notes.

[The Raptor]

Exactly. Keeping it back is good. I know I would rather see something that works rather than something that causes so many crashes I just headbutt my keyboard. I lost my last keyboard to doing that...

So if any of the devs read this then I say keep up the good work, many of us support your decisions

However as Finn said, some patchnotes would be nice just to keep us going...

not eveyone was ranting some ppl were actually saying thank you for the letting us know and taking the time to make sure it was working before implementing it and yes there were a few ppl ranting and raving but dont bunch them with the rest of us please

there was a riat and i missed it wow Mech Warrior has been played since the 90's its not going to finished in one night

The future of MWO. (edit: That says 9fps because I didn't know they'd nuke the picture size)

This taken a few moments ago before my ragequit, at beyond minimum, some settings forced by Nvidia firmware to be even lower. Windowed because it performs better. But still this.

Let me put it this way. Their keeping my 120$ hinges on the next patch:

allowing my fps to be consistently above 10 (I don't think that's asking too much)
preventing the exact same mech from behaving differently one game to the next
at least addressing the type of exploits that yield gausscats, streakcats, lagshield commandos going 150+
so much as filling in the text descriptions for weapons and items, ITS NOT THAT MUCH TO ASK
informing us IN ADVANCE of a patch delay
informing us IN ADVANCE of a patch delay (second time because well it happened a second notable time)
improving stability such that I'm not the only non-blackscreened/laggedout/dc'd player on a team (or so I'm not one of those useless drop spots lost to a random blackscreen)
improving in-game communication so that a few people thrown to the winds of matchmaking don't instantly lose to a well-trained 8-person team all in Teamspeak
including maybe so much as trying to get drop weights anywhere similar, is that possible?
NOT SUGGESTING THAT WHAT WE PRESENTLY HAVE IS READY FOR OPEN BETA
at least attempting to not go overboard on rebalances to ruin the culprit and imba the underdog, if I overcorrected as hard as pirhana, I'd have wrecked every time I got behind the wheel

My god. I'm genuinely becoming concerned for the future of Mechwarrior. These people bought the rights to my favorite franchise. The results...are...
worrying

That's what I got on vista 32bit using latest nvidia drivers... Try installing older drivers, these worked fine for me. Alternatively, try a 64bit OS, if you're on 32bit.

Get your $120 back and put it towards upgrading your computer.

64bit, but yes on the latest drivers, I foolishly tried to upgrade to the 3xx.xx something from 280.26 which I'd had for over a year. What a ****** I was thinking that upgraded drivers would yield more compatibility/performance...

(that wasn't sarcasm, I violated the prime rule of graphics drivers: IF IT WORKS DO NOT EFF WITH IT)

[Malacay]

For all those that whine about the delay and stuff... YOU should watch this:



Problem?

Oh you guys, stop ********
