SIGN! Really good job PGI! Great patch! Just posted because of last Q&A...

I agree with everything John Clavell just said and furthermore contend that he is an intelligent and handsome man

And there we have it. I was extraordinarily skeptical of your ability to produce a coherent argument until you used the word fanboi. Now I know your arguments are founded on sound principles and objective reasoning. Clearly bashing people who enjoy the game draws everyone's attention to the fundamental flaws that PGI intentionally puts into their game as a slap in the face to its players. That'll show 'em!

Different animation for the Centurion, and supposedly practically none for the Commando since it is such a simple mech. In short, every machine gets its own cockpit animation for startup.

Very encouraging to see all these reports, as somebody said elsewhere new content is nice but having more people able to play the game with better stability is the first priority.

This is a great patch but I have noticed some things that have changed. To me, it seems like the AC/20 Cats are useless now as the AC/20 is so fragile (at least in the Cat) that it makes no sense to use. The other issue I saw was in 1 round the number killed was off by 1 and I died on my own without overheat warning or out of bounds warning. Not sure what happened there and my death didn't count on their score so I think that screwed up the death counts.

The AC20 was ALWAYS incredibly fragile, so that isn't a change.

How big was it btw?

Also, my FPS have gone absolutely in the toilet pre patch... have any of you actually experienced improvements in perfomance by reinstall, as frankly, that makes little sense. If this patch doesnt fix my performance issues though, im willing to try it.

[Wolf Ender]

I can't beleive I'm so titillated by something so simple as the startup sequence but, hell, I am.

Everyone is saying the lag or hit detection is much improved. i have not noticed it super significantly, but so far all the feedback i have heard is super positive. i have only played 3 games so maybe i will notice after a few more

And Haters will find that one negative comment and hold on to it as the gospel truth.

No change at all in my FPS, zero, zip, nada, ziltch.

Great patch looks like i can finally play again after 2 months ....lol

In terms of raw FPS no, worse running a 2500k@ 4.5ghz with a 4GB GTX 670 FTW, 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz, pre patch i would never go below 50FPS and 99% of the time it would be between 55-60FPS.

Already in 3 games i have played since patch i have seen far more dips into 40's and even mid 30's.

Gonna reinstall tomorrow see if something got messed up, ping wise, that has been higher in the last 2 weeks but that is not necessarily the game.

Wow, I hope that will fix your issue mate.

Really want to thank the PGI team for this patch today. We have had players who have not been able to play but after today's patch are able to play and better than ever before. All of our team mates are seeing a 10 to 20 FPS rate increase along with being able to hit light mechs better than ever. The start up animation is sweet to boot!!

Thanks Dev's!!

Excellent work guys!

Big FPS improvement for me (2GB 6970) and I love the start-up sequences.

+1 massive performance improvements and I love the startup sequence I squeed when I saw that.

Are you guys trolling or this is serious?

A few more hours till I get to play.
