BATTLETECH - Needs more bake time

One line summary of your issue
Needs more bake time

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Just go through the bug reports, crashing, miscued movements, armor not being replaced. I am trying so hard to enjoy this game but it's fighting me all the way

Steps to reproduce the issue
Take it back to the drawing board, nothing worse than getting 95% through a wining mission and having it freeze or crash.

How long do you think it'll take them to find out you can't sell DLC for a broken game?

Stellaris at least mostly needed UI and balancing. This game... well, why would you even need loading screens for MENUS?

the mission "Incomplete Intelligence" just crashed for the 3rd time on me, right at the end. Honestly, I'm just going to shelve it for a while until it gets fixed.....if it gets fixed.

I'm not really sure what any one could possibly disagree with as far as me saying a mission crashed 3 times. Do you think I am lying? Now I understand their are Stepford fans an even payed correspondents who will take the slightest bit of critique to heart, but honestly can't imagine what the purpose is in chiming in to disagree with the above statement.

Any negative feedback or criticism of this is generally met that way. Wait, a mod will be along to do the same in a bit.

ecueD · May 25, 2018

the criticism/feedback is only negative if the reader is predisposed to think so. Here's a forinstance: you can't access the store from mechlab, I know this is going to be fixed in an upcoming patch because I read it, the reason it''s being patched is because players like myself critiqued it. I also realized that prioritizing mechlab work is accessed from the ship screen, to me that's counter intuitive, I, as I am sure many other players would look for that button in the mechlab where the order was given. It's not a big deal, just doesn't make sense. As far as thumbs down comments from white knighters and mods, in my personal experience, there authority and comments have often been used to form an exclusive club to ostrisize and suppess the opinions of those who don't fit into their sense of community, you know how a very little taste of power can go to a mods head. Personally, if you don't like what I have to say, that's fine, but I certainly don't need to see a frowny face about it. If you have constructive feed back say something, don't let you emoji's carry your manhood or womanhood, it's trite and unproductive. All that being said, I still don't understand the sad eyes on my disconnected 3 times post. It carries no value.

P.S. I may have found a solution to my problems that may work for others. I disabled V-Sync since I have a good GPU and I don't sign in to Paradox....so far game play has greatly improved.

I dont understand the white knights for games, and its funny here given the issues this thing has. Forever to get the game jsut to run and then last night I went to play and all my saved games were gone. I've read the posts but haven't been home to try it. One issue after another, some of which affect my entire system and not just this game.
Probably my first and last HBS game.

@Cromag Perhaps were you on the beta branch before the patch ?

I had that problem with Steam and DOOM when I was trying to complete the challenges. A good 20-30- hours of game play wiped clean after a patch. Took all the wind out of my sails.

Well it seems that if you turn down the graphics to medium, it runs quite nicely, although I did loose sound on the mission, came back after I completed it. Strangely enough, my rig above the recommended specs, except for 16Gb of ram which I am right at. The game selected all my settings for me, so I just assumed it would run ok. I was wrong. Still looks good at medium settings, so if you are having great difficulties, you might try this.
