Ok so I really enjoyed this game with 0 issues for the past few days. I was playing for the past few hours and decided to buy some MC points....buy a mech and once I'm back in the game I can't play because the FPS is so horrid. Moving my mouse left to right flings my view, mechs walking by look like the flash as there is 10 shadow versions following it.

I went from playing fine one moment to this abomination the next.

Ah yes.... P2W STDs. They are a horrible thing

Looks like you had a memory leak, it's a common occurrence after playing a few games your frames can drop to about 5 FPS. Best way to fix this is to restart your MWO client.

There is a known memory leak. If you don't restart your client every couple of hours (preferably every hour) you may get a massive performance drop until it progresses to giant blocky text, intermittent black screen, and eventually just black screen once it overwhelms your resources.

It's an ancient bug that has been around a long time.

Something going on tonight that isn't the fps bug. I restart every 8 or 10 games to avoid that. Lots of people ingame complaining about the rubberbanding and odd visual effects. I had to quit playing just now because of it. It's late at night in the U.S. and early morning in Eur. so I doubt it's a high player load. Most people are speculating something is going on with the servers.

There's a workaround for this but it'll require you to clear some files in

...\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\USER\Shaders\Cache\...

if you can't delete them due to 'is still being used' while you're running MWO, clear the notepads inside the CPVShaders & CPGShaders folders. (inner Cache folder).

Being said that, it's a bit annoying though to clear them regularly but I'd do it instead of getting 4 fps bug inside the game and restart the client after a game ends.

Didn't help, my lag delays were over a minute so I had to stop until it is fixed or a solution is posted. Text typed and damage taken registers fairly quick, yet any action I take is basically nullified because of the long delay.
