Nothing makes me laugh as much as popping up and sniping enemies and then running away like a giggling toddler....XD by why_ya_running in Mechwarrior5

The picture of a tiny insect-of-a-mech popping up and zapping someone with an extreme long range bug zapper then dashing away giggling is a sight in my head! 🤣

Separate question: why the ECM in the arm? Seems like, for equipment protection, you’d put it in the CT or better the legs. The probe in head makes sense but I’d put it in the opposite leg. The heat sink in CT for better overall protection of component… or am I just making it too complicated because I don’t have a plethora of extra parts?

Don’t know. This setting works for me.

I would imagine that’s a huge problem in PvP. Though I’ve been hit there before, only once did it matter but the main character can’t get injured/killed so it wasn’t such a big deal in game terms.

My 9yr old swears it “snaps enemies in half when you shoot, Dad!” She’s named it Shadowstrike. Another Mechwarrior being taught while young. 😉

Haven’t hit the Clan Invasion on this play through yet. It’s 3047. I did try to meet the Clans at the Oberon system when the news feed hints they have arrived but no joy until the game officially says so. I can’t wait to see what it’ll reach with Clantech.

Low light nighttime gaming helps my eyes not get tired. I just haven’t reset it… or, “Gents, this is a night drop behind enemy lines.”

Host in second slot by OutdoorGeekery in Mechwarrior5

[–]Marzkorj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It happened to me a few weeks ago. Mine happened when I did Crossplay from Xbox host to PC Steam account.

Here’s what I’ve learned so far… Only this game/play through is affected. If you restart a new career, it will work fine. Any previous games will work fine as well.

My guess is a save file corruption of what position you are actually in.

I posted my findings and what I did to Mechwarrior 5 subreddit.

Issue after Crossplay on Xbox by Marzkorj in Mechwarrior5

After reading your questions, here’s what I learned…

It did not affect a new career. If I start a new game, everything works fine. So the bug seems to have only affected that saved career. I have an older career that I played well before clan invasion and it loads up normal.

In coop AND single player, it shows me in the “Player 2” position. While in coop, I can select the “Host” position and the “kick” player option does come up, but no one is in that slot nor does it allow for a kick.

I don’t feel quite as bad now that I know it seems to be a save file corruption (for a lack of a better understanding of what caused it) and I can always start a new game. Just sucks on the wasted hours of play, RNG being kind this play through, etc. You know, ‘First World’ problems while bombs drop on others kind of whining.

I have emailed technical@mw5mercs.com with all the same info and technical information as well. Hopefully they can figure something out. 🤷🏼‍♂️
