Just played a match where I fired no less than ten salvos of 3xSSRM2, most of three or four tons of AC2 ammo (most of which got hit markers, I'm a good shot), and 2xMedium Lasers repeatedly (light hunter Centurion, for the wondering).

200 damage. One of my group was timing out constantly, another would have extreme packet loss and warping, several straight up disconnect barrages on both teams different times, random people's ping count skyrocketing then going down to good levels.

WHAT is going on?

The netcode is (IMO) this game's biggest weakness.

I was wondering about similar issues. I have yet to get into a game today where I did not experience lag that made it impossible to play. The game starts, everyone else starts walking in place, and I am free to roam about the map until I hear the inevitable explosion of my mech. I was considering going to a friend's to see if its just my connection. I honestly hope so because I literally cannot play until something changes if my connection isn't the problem

A ****** connection will probably exacerbate the ****** net code.

sounds weird, if it's repeatable make a video of it (with bandicam or something) and submit it to MWO support along with a dxdiag dump. This may help solve some part of networking issues.

tip: if you're unable to upload the video anywhere then it's your connection at fault.

Yes, lets not forget that we are part of the testing process and need to help them sort out this issues so it can be made to be better.
