Greetings MechWarriors!
This month's Update includes the 7th Quirk Pass, which includes 'Mechs like the Assassin, Dervish, Grasshopper, Mad Cat Mk2 and more (see below), some adjustments to previous Quirk passes, Weapon adjustments, new Trial/Champion 'Mechs, new lighting on Forest Colony Classic, and a couple bug fixes.
We know you have lots of questions about the future of MechWarrior Online, which we will begin answering this Friday, February 25th when we post the MWO Road Map! We will follow that up with a Dev Vlog in early March where we can get into more detail, and hopefully answer some of your questions.
We're excited about 2022 and MechWarrior Online, we hope you will be too!
As with everything, these updates are subject to further balance changes in the future, especially as more variables are brought into the equation with future updates and changes.
So get out there and do the science, and get us your feedback for future iterations!
And now, we hope you enjoy the patch.
-The MechWarrior Online Team

Patch Files (Direct Download)
To make the patching process easier for players with limited download caps, we'll be providing direct download links for the patch file(s) that comprise this patch. This will allow you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, for manual injection into the MWO patcher through a Patch Cache folder.
Aside from allowing you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, on another connection, there are no additional benefits to performing the patch this way; the patching process itself will be the same.
This direct patch download process will only work for players running the standalone client. It does not apply to players running MWO through Steam.
Patch File(s): - http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/frontend/FrontendPatch_397.zip
- Download the above file(s)
- For sake of ease, we recommend creating a dedicated folder for the patch file(s), such as 'MWO Patch Cache'
- You do not need to unzip or unpack the patch file(s)
- Launch the MWO Portal
- Select the three horizontal lines in the top left of the Portal Window
- Choose the 'Specify Patch File Cache' option
- In the field that appears, paste or enter the location in which you saved the patch file(s) and hit OK
- For example, C:\Users\<username>\Documents\MWO Patch Cache
- Click the blue Patch button
- The launcher will now check the Patch Cache folder you defined. If it locates the required patch files, it will unpack and use those files to apply the patch.
- Once the patch is complete, launch the game
