Greetings MechWarriors,

First off we want to say a huge thankyou to all of our players. We are here and we are listening.

We hope Hotfix 1 addressed a lot of the performance issues that players reported.
We are working on Hotfix 2 right now and we're almost done, our ETA is early next week. Hotfix 2 continues with performance and coop fixes along with many others – check them all out in detail below.
Thank you for your support!

- Fixes for missing audio in pause menu
- Fixes for audio on burst fire weapons
- Fix for weapon group audio being too quiet

We heard you didn’t like this – so we reverted it

- Users should not be able to unbind Primary KBM input actions. (But you will have the unbound issue if you do this)

Other issues:

- We heard some players are experiencing audio issues in cinematics – we’re looking into this and will fix as soon as we can.
- We heard that lower end AMD cards are having driver issues – so we’re reaching out to AMD to try and get a solution as quickly as possible.
