After the latest patch I can't fire my 2 ML on my com-1B at the same time even though they are in the same group. When i press my mouse button the first ML fires and if I press the button again the other fires. On my other Commando there is no problem like this. Tried resetting my weapon groups but nothing. Anyone else notice something like this?

You 'prolly have chainfire engaged. To toggle between groupfire and chainfire press [backspace] by default. The weapon group indicators light up in sequence when a weapon group is set to chainfire.

Thanks for the advice, will try it later.

Ya, you probably have it set to chainfire.

Although, I've noticed chainfire doesn't fire a weapon in the group on each click now. You have to wait for the previously fired weapon to finish firing before you can fire the next weapon. This needs to be set back to pre-patch with a weapon firing each time you press the fire button for that group regardless of any other weapon's firing status.

Unless there was a reason for this setup ('Mech only having 1 'visible' weapon port but has 2 weapons there) it's actually better to group all weapons seperately to maintain consistant or Manual Alpha Strike damage output. Before, I could have 'Left Torso Lasers' on one group and fire those as fast as I could press the fire button for the group. Now I have to wait for each weapon to finish it's firing cycle (Large Laser/ER LL is the worst) before I can fire the next weapon in the group.

This sounds like a bug - my primary build uses chain fire and I still retain the ability to fire multiple shots when I click multiple times.

Just played again. Had to set to group then chain again to get the functionality back. Sending a report about it now.
