I have no MC and can not paint my mech. But I was talking to someone else last night on TS and they had this problem with at least one of their mechs and they had MC.

My friend had this happen to him, he hasn't bought and MC and gets an error when trying to apply the skin.

I saw in one of the posts from the devs that they're aware of this and according to what I understood, we should see a fix to this after the new year... which seems a long way off.

I was planning on buying some MC and perhaps getting the new Hero Mech. Now I think I'm just going to hold off until I see how the whole camo fiasco plays out.

Confirmed it's MC related.

Had no MC and had this exact error. It worked perfectly after I purchased some.

[Guyver17]

Picked up the smallest amount of MC they had. Kind of broke LOL. But after buying the MC I was able to repaint the PCGamer camo. So I can second it that.

I guess you'll have to be patient guys.
Your concerns are valid, but I imagine fairly low priority for the devs. (Since A: you are playing a game for free, B: Not adding any monetary value to the company, C: Still in Beta.)
Don't forget that the devs don't *owe* you anything really, frustrating as it may be to hear that.
I would sit tight and wait.

And to the guy who wanted his PCGamer default colours back, I assume you read the message "IMPORTANT: This purchase will ERASE the current camo spec on your battlemech. Are You sure you want to proceed?" ?

I'm with you on this one. I'm sure it's low priority, but it's too easy of a fix to actually take that long.

And someone (PCG or Pirahna) certainly does owe us something. Everyone here purchased an issue of PC Gamer for this skin. For the matter... the DECEMBER issue. It's going to be awfully embarrassing for everyone involved if that skin that is featured on the cover of the issue is not available for all of December.

I too have this issue. I would also like to add that every time I try to apply the paint and get the error, my game then crashes the next time I try to launch a match while in a party,

[Kellen Reeves]

Have not purchased MC. Using Dragon mech.

This workaround is shady as all hell. We shouldn't be forced to buy any amount of MC to fix this. This skin was free with our PCG Mag MWO Issue, and should continue to be such. We technically already paid money to have this skin along with our Coconut monkey. Btw the Coconut Monkey works fine. Skin is the only thing that doesn't.

Hopefully it's going to be fixed shortly, and put back to being FREE as it was supposed to be, otherwise this has the adverse effect of making me not want to purchase anything else towards this game.
