3. Launch a match.
4. ???
5. Observe a blank minimap and speed bar progressing to the infinity.

Questions
How often does this issue occur?
Does this occur on a specific map or any map?
Does this occur with a specific mech or any mech?
What are your basic system specs? (CPU, GPU, RAM)

happened a few times to me. I've even had it launch where the map was visible but it would not show what direction i was torso twisting (HUD torso twist indicator on your compass was not functionign either. Also had it where there was a HUD and map but was unable to view the brackets that showed what mech i was locked on. Could still get a missile lock.

Happened once only so far, at random. Must note some differences from the description above:

• Speed bar was all over the place. It took some juggling to get it to go to "infinity".
  
• Compass heading and torso twist indicator were also jammed, stuck pointing due north.
  
• Locking on enemy mechs was unaffected.

This has happened to me since patch -

HUD stops updating properly and starts "smearing" on the directional compass. Minimap absent. Making chat work properly involves abusing the ESC key.

Didn't notice speed gauge. I'm still a bad enough player to have two speeds - OMGRUN and DUH, WHAT DO I DO?

Reticle and other HUD elements were fine, as far as I can recall.

Hope this helps.

Had this happen to me twice, different mechs and different maps, so it seems pretty random.

Note that my minimap wasn't blank, but it was locked to it's initial position at my base and wouldn't move or change at all. Full sized map still worked fine. My speedometer was reaching most of the way to the top of the screen, and my directional indicator was locked in it's initial position, just like my minimap.

As far as system spec, I'm running an i7 at 2.67GHz with 6 gigs of ram. Windows 7 64 bit version. My videocard is an ATI Radeon HD 5700. And as I said, it doesn't appear to be linked to any specific mech or map.

Dropped into river city and discovered that my minimap (and full map when i looked) was blank, and both bases were located on top of eachother at my drop location. the map never updated. In addition, my paper doll's name was "WWWWWWWWWWW"

After getting blown up, (something that happens a bit more often then I'd care to admit) My spectator's view had a similar problem. My spectator's paper doll had the name "WWWWWWWWWW" and the map was blank. I was also unable to type in team chat, all chat, and I wasn't able to pull up the score board. (where I was able to before getting killed)

I was using a hunchback with a custom config, 8 med lasers, 1 med pulse, dual heatsinks, FF armor, I had just added the dual heatsinks and the med pulse when i encountered this.

Core i7-2700K @ 3.5GHz , 16GB ram, Nvidia GTX 570, Windows 7 64bit, current Nvidia drivers (WHQL certified, downloaded from Nvidia's website)

I have also seen this WWWWWWWWWW... text in yellow (like a system message when someone connects to a match) but it was not me. I was playing on Forest Colony. It must have been generated by another player. It never went away, so it was constantly regenerating?

I have also had the no map bug, but not infinite speedometer I don't think. Then again, I didn't look at it. At least one time this happen on Caustic and minimap would not show orientation or mechs either. The compass points smeared a yellow star for a base as I turned (It didn't move the logo but rather smeared it as I turned)

having also this error, maybe possible, that the flash HUD recognizes the Input (i pressed W at start of the game) - and transfered into the textfield...

I saw the "WWWWWWWWWWW" on my mech info too.

I've been able to reproduce this bug twice by alt-tabbing as the game is loading. did not see 'infinite' speedometer.

Just happened to me on River City in a Gausspult. I run i7 2600k, 8 gb ram and Radeon HD 6950.

[BloodMadjai]

This has happened to me several times. Game will load and the mini-map just shows your line of sight markers directed forward and nothing else.

[Buehgler]

Happened to me for the first time yesterday. Had the "WWWWW..." mech name, could not type in chat, and messed up mini-map.
