Many of you will be celebrating the Christmas Holiday very soon. Yes, its that time of year again.
I just wanted to stop a moment and reflect on what an unusual year I have had. Been from the lowest low (I hope to ever see) to back to (almost) my old self. Through it all, I tried to maintain my sense of humour and still be me.
A strong belief in my faith and a few other things have helped me see another season come this way.
While we dont have the snow on the ground (yet), nor the frigid temps (I hope we dont) my humble home is warm and I have food for my table.
I mentioned "a few other things" just above. Yes, I have some real life, face to face friends that are near and dear to me. The kind of people you dont have to ask, they just do. I am in their corner too, should the need arise.
Another big part of that "few other things" is the people of this forum. Tho we come from all walks of life, live in all parts of the world, talk in our own unique way, we all gather around the keyboard and monitor for some good old fashioned (maybe new fashioned?) fun with one another.
Whether this is your religious time of year or not, I reach out to all of you and wish you a great, safe and happy holiday. I hope that each of you and yours are well and i look forward to having another year roll around and seeing what we can get into. Take care all and Happy Holidays.

Vettie we do have a fix for the Lusankya bug. Just like with Homer whenever a kill is stolen, you rip up his backside. Or we would reinitiate him at the next practice
LOL We have 2 fixes for Lu 1 leg him at launch and blame it on some other pilot 2 tell him you almost have an enemy cored and the location. Truth is, there are 5 enemy there and NONE are cored and all have ECM and only those in short range can see them. Then run off to find the other 3 that are not in that location as you read "Almost whole other team killed Lusankya"...

I got the FX-3120 8 core. I think it is 3.2ghz and the AMD 7770ghz edition with 1gig DDR5.
I set the game to Ultra High (or whatever the highest setting is) and in lobby got 65 to 67 fps, but in game more like 45 to 50fps.
I lowered it to High settings and I got like 65 to 70fps in lobby and around 48 to 57fps in game.
Thing is, I did not notice ANY difference in the actual visuals between Ultra and plain High. NO difference to me, so I leave it set at HIGH and enjoy the very slight boost in FPS. Doesnt seem to drop as much when the furball begins.
Glad to have the Cow back in the game. I hope you dont get to frustrated with the game, its BETA, they say OPEN BETA but in truth it is more like early beta.
Goofy things you will notice...
Memory Leak - after a bit of playing (hour or 2) your frame rate will drop to 4fps and lock there. The current fix is to reboot the game. The more RAM you have on your system, the longer it takes to show up. I have 6gig Win 7 64bit and it takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, but it does come if I dont close the game and restart it.
Overheat shut down bug - while in a furball and you overheat, your mech will recover but the HUD screen does not, still shows you over heat. YOu can not tell good guys from bad,nor can you get a lock for the weapons that use lock. Fix is to hit the 'p' key and manually shut your mech down. 'p' key again restarts its and clears the overheat screen. Problem is, when this happens, you are usually in a furball and shutting down will usually get you killed.
Yellow screen of death - every so often you get the yellow screen of death when the game launches. NO FIX. The workaround is to hit the right shift + the F11 key. this clears your HUD. NO CHAT, NO COMPASS, NO TARGET. The only way to tell good from bad is if they starting shooting you. Next round it goes away or you can restart your game client.
On River City and Forest Colony if you get into a close brawl with an Atlas or Catapult or Stalker, you will notice them glowing much more than other mechs. If you continue the brawl, the glow gets more intense and the rest of the screen gets real dark, almost black. 2 fixes - break off the brawl for a moment until the light comes back in your screen, OR use the 'h' key and switch to thermal vision.
There have also been a plethora of issues with the mini map. Anything from rainbow colours sans terrain, to reverse terrain showing up, to black screen min map. NO FIX. Next game things are back to normal OR you can restart your game client.
The WORST BUG in the game is one known as the Lusankya Bug. It happens when you are in a tight fight with an enemy and you have the enemy worn down to very low health %. Out of no where comes Lusankya and steals the kill. The FIX? Keep Lu in front of you.

center MOUSE wheel or Stromboli wheel are not currently mapable (is that a word?) in MWO.
You CAN assign Mouse Wheel as a BUTTON if it 'clicks' but you can not use the scroll function.
I want mine to be the throttle control, DDay wants it for throttle, someone else mentioned using it as Zoom.
Currently cant do. I DID send in a ticket and the response was that that feature would RETURN to MWO, but other items have a higher priority, shocker there...
So I DO use my stromboli, wasd keys as they are match the keyboard settings, space matches (jump jets), I changed the "R" key to "E" key. Z, X and C stay the same. I use the 'Q' key for push to talk. I mapped the Q function to "R" key (see friendlies).
Other than that, I have not remapped any other keys and I do not have the H and N keys assigned yet, Thermal / Heat vision and Night Vision. Nor do i have the "J" key mapped, ECM normal mode or counter ECM mode.
Works great.
I did try to map the throttle / right / left turns to the 'd' pad, but it saw them in game as the 'arrow' keys and I could not change my weapons group settings DOH! so I quickly re-did that.

Good to hear. What resolution are you playing at?
LOL well I have a small monitor A 17" wide screen The native res on it is 1280 x720 so that is what I have it on. In game I use the same set to full screen. I noticed last night while playing, the FPS in the LAB were 62 to 70 FPS but in the game dropped as low as 45 (depending on map). I did some experimenting with the settings. I changed from VERY high to high. Mech LAb was exactly the same. Never more than 70 never less than 60. In game I got almost exactly the same but it never dipped below 48. Visually, I cant tell the difference between Very High and High on any map. I am not sure what the differences are, but whatever they are, I cant see them so i just left it on HIGH settings to get the extra 2 to 3 FPS when the brawls begin on Forest, Forest snow and Frozen City. Caustic Valley and Frozen City Night dont seem to change much regardless of what is happening. Another thing I noticed is that the 'darkness / glow' that happens when catapults / streak boats get a in a tight brawl, the darkness doesnt last as long and I can actually see well enough to fight back. One more thing, yes I am excited about the visuals in game from the card, but you (mostly me) has to remember I came from getting 15 to 25 FPS tops. So yeah it is a major improvement. Next upgrade for my machine will be to go from 6gb RAM to 16gb (max my lil mobo can use and it has to be 4 x 4gb sticks).

well the little brown truck came and left about 45 mins ago.
I have only 1 word
This is truly like opening a new game for the first time.
Very high settings - I get 70+fps in the mech lab. 45 to 65 in game (just 2 maps so far, River City and Frozen City night).
the card is shorter than the one I tried before so it fits in the little chassis real nice. I had bought a new power supply so power is not a problem.
Installed the drivers from the disc it came with (Catalyst 12.8 i think) and it is great. I really dont want to upgrade to Catalyst 12.10 cause I am afraid it will screw up what I have now, lol.
I can not believe the difference. Stunning is a good word.
I checked the heat in my machine after running a couple of games, less than 100 F. CPU is at 98F. Nice. No noise from the gpu fan.
I am impressed.

hmmm
After the first attempt to replace my system's vid card with one of them there fancy kick ass NVidia high powered make everything look real purty video cards, i have yet again saved the cash to make a purchase of one that hopefully is not broken.
Yes. When i bought my new system, it came with an AMD dedicated video card that CAN run MWO. I have been using it for some time now. My intent was to buy the system and a kick ass vid card at the same time, which I did. However the card I choose would not run in my new system, even after upgrading the power supply.
I tried it in my OLD system. It would not boot into windows period. Funny that Linux would boot up fine and even asked me if I wanted to update the drivers for the newly found card...
Anyway, I returned that card. I have stashed away a little here and there and finally I made a purchase. I went with an AMD (my whole system is AMD based anyway so....). I bought a 7770 oc edition.
Now I am just waiting on the little brown truck to show up...
Status on tracking says "out for delivery"
SoonTM...

It's too bad there might not be anymore support for MW4 but that doesn't mean we can't still play it. As long as we have comms and know what the ip for the server (whoever is hosting) then we can keep playing all the cool maps we want to.
As far as I know, that is absolutely correct. IP Connections. Who knows, someone or a group over at NBT MIGHT step up here and try to take over what it is MekTek has for sale. I know if Dark Phoenix were still involved or if Bryan (MWL leader/owner) were still alive, one of them would have or would try to take over if they could reach an agreement.

so what gives?
Go Daddy got us on some back room old server covered in cob webs and running a dual core with 8 MEG Ram? (Dual core server = 2 individual 286 machines, 1 working and 1 in case the working one goes south)
Like I said, for the most part, ONCE the site page finally opens up the site works pretty good, occasionally get a slow response when posting or trying to, but usually pretty good, just getting TO the site seems to take long time to come up.

Love the web site works great.
One problem, it seems to take forever to load up and sometimes I get the
"oh, sorry we ran into a small problem please try back later" screen.
Not sure why. but it happens and or is very slow to come up. once it does, everything is fine
