I created this file, hope it helps others too.

create a new file (doesnt matter which one).
be sure to enable file extensions for ur windows so u can rename it into a .bat or .cmd file.

put this in there

SET shaderpath="D:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\user\shaders"
SET gamepath="D:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\Bin32\"
 
rd %shaderpath% /S /Q
D:
cd %gamepath%
MechWarriorOnline.exe
exit



please notice I changed to D: because my game is located there so if you've installed it at c:\ just change the D:\ fromt the paths to c:\ and delete the D:

have fun playing

i had just posted a way to do this in another topic where someone sugested doing this.
another method to try also is :

1. open up notepad then copy and paste this in it:

@echo off

echo deleting shader cache

rmdir /s /q "%~dp0\USER\Shaders\Cache"

echo starting MechWarrior Online

cd "%~dp0\Bin32"

MechWarriorOnline.exe

exit

2. then save as a .bat file

3.put the batch file in "Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online" folder.

4. create a shortcut of the batch file you just made and place on your desktop, and use it to launch the game.

im usen windows 7 ultimate 32bit also, and i know the commands are not all the same for other win OS versions.

Can you run this script between games to prevent the 4 fps bug?
