Forest colony. Viewing LRM splash damage and froze up. Happened at the moment of missile impact on a friendly mech. I was probably 350 meters from him, but had him front and center in my view.

Since this last patch ive been getting regular screen freezes. Screen totally locks up, can only escape using Task Manager - my mech stays in game and walks around in circles.

Only seems to happen when Im in a group..

To add to this when this happens to me, even task manager won't end the game, it looks like there are 6 or 7 game clients popped up in the background and I have to do a full system reboot to fix the issue. On windows 8 64 bit.

I have the same issue as many others. Game just freezes, have to do Ctrl Alt Delete and task manager to close it. Lowering settings seems to make crashes less frequent. Running on lowest now.

Wow.....This latest patch has caused a nearly 100% stable game to become unplayable. Almost every game now stops in mid contest; doesn't matter if fighting,walking, or standing still. Sometimes task manager will let me get to desktop; other times I have to manually shut down. This may be the most troublesome patch I have ever had to deal with and I've been in it since closed beta. They need to get the programmers in over the weekend and either rollback or hotfix. Well, at least we got lanterns and snakes to decorate our cockpits..............

I'm getting freezes mid match now. Different maps, haven't been able to figure out anything I'm doing to cause it. The game will just freeze with the last second or so of audio looping. Have to use task manager to close the client.

Screen Freezes, game shut down can only be shut down with task manager.... happens in something around 1 out of 5 games...

[Stringburka]

Still happening to me too. Not as frequently as others though, had it 4 or 5 times since the patch.

Plain old standart Forest Collony.
I was cruisin in my C1 and minded my own buisness, pumping out LRMs. Suddenly i realised that i was the last man standing of our team. On the enemy team were three dudes left. A Raven, a Hunchback and a Stalker. The Raven and the Hunchback were near me and both were in bad shape. As was i, my head armor was gone and the internals shimmerd orange. With a lucky shot i was able to leg the Raven and run away as fast as i could, the Hunchback was chasing me. He died in my LRM rain. He had 6 MedLasers and my Centertorso Armor was gone. Back to the Raven. He sportet a Heavy Laser. I still managed to take him down. Still no victory. There was a Stalker left. Yay.
Then one Guy from the other team wrote in Allchat: "He is AFK"
5 Minutes remained, off to their base i went.
There was the Stalker. He was indeed afk. I just reached the cappoint, locked in the Stalker and fired some missles when my game crashed.

Since the latest patch, third time today, at varoius occasions, at different times my game freezes. The Screen just stops, the sound silences and nothing shows any sign of activity. ctrl+alt+del lets me open the task manager and close the client.
This is new to me, didnt have that problem before the patch.

Since this was a particularly bad outcome for an otherwise great game i would like to know what happend to the match. Did my Mech cap that thing without his lousy pilot? Did the enemy win because i DCed? Do i even count as DCed or am i just AFK?

I also had a lot of game crashes... someone mentioned to delete the temp folder under *enteryourmwofolderhere*\USER\shaders ... no crash for 5 games now...

[mekabuser]

ctd.. way up this patch.. Like 10x as much..
Also had a new weird bug where the main screen was flickering at about 200 times a minute between tw o screen.s

[Juicebox12]

Since last hotfix, and only since then i am constantly having screen lockups on frozen city when lrm boating.

After firing an lrm volley the screen locks up no messages or anything. Have to force close on the application and restart the game every time i play this map with my lrm boat.

[Flapdrol]

Most people dont have these freezes, there must be something we have in common.

I don´t have freezes but constant ctd´s. I´ve reported it, and i know that there are serveral others experiencing this, but no real statement from the devs. My Thread concerning that issue has beedn deleted I don´t know what to do.

[Flapdrol]

They've probably merged your thread into a general stability topic.

[Marius Malthus]

oh and i forgot to say. before the ping was always 120.... after patch is always 210. yes i power cycled both the router and the modem.

[Hresvelgr]

Just got "crashed" to home screen right in the middle of the match. That's something completely new. Taking into account other smaller bugs - this patch got failed. Need some hotfixes ASAP.

[ChaosGrinder]

The crash to mechlab is actually a _Known Problem_ yet noone wants to accept that ._.
I get that since the january patch :/

Personally, deleting the shaders folder helped with mystery framerate issues. Since I started getting a ctd with the 2/8/13 patch I try deleting it again and see if it improves stability.

[ChaosGrinder]

I deleted the folder, it helped once for one match.. But after that, CTD Every. Single. Match.
