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!

We’re currently working on these fixes and expect them to be in Hotfix 2 although not confirmed yet:
• More performance improvements
• Add an option in Co-Op to allow clients to select the pilot they want to play and swap pilots
• Fixed a Co-Op bug where users were stuck as other pilots when starting a new campaign after playing a Co-Op session
• Fixed a Co-Op issue where clients would view stuttering with other players
• Fixed a bug where key bindings would be changed without applying them
• Fixes for missing audio in pause menu
• Fixes for audio on burst fire weapons
• Fix for weapon group audio being too quiet
• Fix for DLSS option permanently greying itself out under rare conditions
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.
