HOT-FIX SCHEDULED FOR 30-JAN-2018

Greetings MechWarriors,

 
We will be rolling out a small hot-fix, currently scheduled for Tuesday, January 30th at 2:00 PM PST (10 PM UTC), to issue the following fix:
 
• Fixed an issue where specific command lines set in the executable or through Steam could cause rendering issues with structures. This was a visual issue only; structures would still obstruct ‘Mechs and weapons fire.
 
 
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): To provided at the time of patch.
 
How to use these patch files
• 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

MWO Patcher End of Life

NOTICE:
MWO Patcher End of Life
 
 
MWO PATCHER

 
The MWO patcher (shown above) will reach end-of-life on February 19th, prior to the scheduled MechWarrior Online patch. If you are still using this patcher now, please switch over to the MWO Portal (shown below) immediately. If you are having issues using the Portal, please contact Piranha Games Customer Service as soon as possible so we can work towards resolving any outstanding problems before this patcher is retired.
 
MWO PORTAL

 
 
Switching to the MWO Portal is easy! All you need to do is install the application (available at https://mwomercs.com/game/download) and simply use the new Portal to run the game instead. There’s no need to uninstall or modify your existing MechWarrior Online installation; your pre-existing install should work fine.
