Since the last patch twice now I have experienced a rather large performance issue only after firing my first shot of a match.

It happened just now in a game, I was piloting a Hunchback-4P on river city night and once before about a week and a half ago.

First shot of the match, removed all UI elements, and dropped my FPS from ~40 to ~10-15. It also removed the ability to see the scoreboard using the TAB key. I was unable to see the chat panel, nor was I able to tell if I could send messages to my team via chat.

I am unsure how to replicate this. I had just opened the client, selected my mech, and launched. It was not the first match of the day, but it was a fresh instance of the client. The game mode was conquest.

Had this happen to me a couple times now, too. Although I didn't notice a drop in fps but if it happens again I'll look.

So far only twice, both times in my Cataphract 4X, and at least once on Frozen although I recall both may have been Frozen map. Perhaps it's UAC5 or AC2 related, or maybe just a ballistic issue? Those are the weapons I fired both times (the single ML is used after I've emptied the bins on my foes). Granted I have no idea what you're HBK 4P is packing. Or maybe it's only a bug for the fourth mechbay slot. Sounds silly I know but bugs follow their own internal logic, if at all.

Will keep my eyes open for it again.

Posted about this happening to me yesterday. I was on Frozen City and fired my weapons (initial firing) in free-look to the the right. My HUD disappeared and my FPS dropped. I haven't been able to replicate it since, though.

What mech, and what weapons?

What else does that 4P have on it?

In terms of weapons? 6 x SLAS in the right shoulder.

Ok so it's not ballistic related. I mean, I should've known but HBK models aren't my strong suit.

Was this bug you mentioned similar to this one? In my case, no performance loss, but after firing my weapon I lost the hud. The hud then rapidly turned on and off. Game mode was also conquest.

My HUD stayed off for the remainder of the Assault match when it happened. I was stationary, behind a building on Frozen.

It's happened to me once both ways.

In my 4P, I've got 3 medium lasers chained as the first group.

I've found that if one of those lasers gets destroyed, frequently the first group (1) doesn't work anymore if set on chain fire. It will fire as part of an alphas strike or the 3Mlas/6SLAS group I've got chained on 2, but not as part of group 1.
