I downloaded MWO the day open beta was publicly released. Since then, i experienced a fun game.
Against all odds, the 8v8 Assault on 4 Maps never started to bore me. And this probably because I can almost never play this game.
Never in my life before have I met such a bug infested game. Well, usually I do not buy a game, which is not programmed correctly, but the case is different with MWO.
First and last, i am very, very fond of battletech. And on top, there is nothing to buy, except for MCs, HeroMechs and Premium Time, which I will not buy, because I can not play this game.
Frustration speaks of me, you might hear it. And please, do not point out "it is still a Beta". I know that. But a Beta should RUN. This beta does not. In terms of bugginess, its an alpha. I have no problems with bad balancing or the lack of content, because it will be adjusted and added in time. But regarding the bugs, nothing happens.
I do not even speak about the small, funny bugs like the cockpit blur after missile death.
I am speaking of FRead Error, which makes the game unable to start or md5 hash mismatch, which makes the game unable to reinstall.
So far, I have spent more time trying to fix the bugs myself or trying to find solutions in the forum than actual playing. This makes me sad, because I would even spend money or join a team, given a playable game.
Well, I think you got the point. Nonetheless, here is a small list of bugs I encountered
- Mechlab crash without error notice
- Fread
- Md5 hash mismatch
- Memory Allocation
- Sentinel error (crashed the patcher)
- Cockpit Blur
- Frozen City Night Graphics Bug
Well, ok, the biggest problem is and stays the Fread Error.
Help me
