Had an atlas gliding towards me today in river city

I was all

[Escef]

Saw a 'pult and an Atlas do this just a few minutes ago.

[DragonsFire24SS]

I've seen it also, pretty funny looking!!! lol

[Kill Dozer]

just had it a few times, I have video as well.

My atlas shutdown due to heat, slide about 60 meters while shutdown and then stayed shutdown for another ten seconds or so (about 30 total), mech was unresponsive to any controls during this time.

One enemy Atlas shutdown and just remained in that position for the rest of the match, he was moving and firing but in the shutdown pose.

Its amusing to look at, sort of reminds me of "spycrabs" in TF2

I was about to start a thread called Surfing 'Mechs when I saw this one. YUP......already seen a surfing cataphract and a surfing cicada. And get this, the cicada was running along.....stopped for a couple of minutes....THEN started surfing.

Next I expect it to switch to 8bit graphics.

[Budor]

Seen this on a catapult on caustic this evening.

[Vamboozle]

Yes - first post patch game and saw this.

Frozen city - saw both a Cataphract and a Dragon do this.

They seemed to be in control of their mechs so possibly an animation issue?

[ShdwWraith]

Yep, also seeing this, have a vid as well. I have also experienced my mech sliding in unexpected directions as well, the legs will suddenly twist in a totally different direction and/or i will rapidly slide sideways several meters.

I've experienced this while hitting "O" at the same time or shortly after shutting down due to heat. I have to press the "P"ower button to escape the BUG!

[LLCWeekend]

Mechs be slidin like gumby yo...

[employee24601]

Saw a K2 Cat do the same thing.

[Sentinel373]

piloting a stalker up a slope has become somewhat difficult especialy if you turn while on the slope you'll slide all over the place.

Last night I saw a Death Knell, an Atlas, a couple of Stalkers, several Jenners and Raven doing the glide bug.

It looks like there was a bug in the overheat screen, and that is causing this. One of the Ravens I killed was running normally then it overheated and powered back up with that bug.

[Penance]

What bug?

I saw Mechwarrior: On Ice

[MAFH]

For now I only had the effect with Hunchbacks but no other mechs. Really surprised to see it on a Cataphract.

I encountered it a couple more times today.

[Huron Warrior]

After this recent patch, I've noticed some mechs suddenly glide in the midst of the battle. The walking animation is not shown, speed is about the same as if they were walking normally. Noticed this against an opposing Stalker, though it may not be limited to those.

Didn't see any threads about this, nothing came up in search for 'glide bug' either, please merge if there is already a thread.

[fleshwoundNPG]

Saw a Catapult K2 do this last night. Had flashbacks to the Heavy Gear Naga on its wheels.

[twibs]

Seen few hunchies skating along the sands of gaustic valley.

Definately a bug.
