Hey everyone!

BATTLETECH is here! Please find our official support FAQ below.

FAQ.jpg



For any issues you're experiencing in game, first make sure that all of your Graphics drivers are up to date, that your PC surpasses the games minimum requirements, Verify the Integrity of Game Files from the game properties and restart the game.
  • Redeeming a valid unlock code can sometimes cause a long loading screen (2+ min) before succeeding.

  • If you can't find BATTLETECH in your Steam library, try restarting!
  • In Skirmish, unlocked ‘Mech model variants are mistakenly considered to be custom ‘Mechs rather than stock ‘Mechs.
  • If you copy an unlocked ‘Mech in the Skirmish MechBay, it becomes a default version of that ‘Mech.
  • In rare escort contract cases, it is possible for a final APC to fail moving into the extraction area. If this occurs you may need to let the final APC be destroyed, or withdraw from the mission.

  • Some video settings, when applied during combat, are not applied until the next time the game transitions to or from combat.
  • Creating multiple Profile/Accounts back-to-back in the same game session without going to a different section of the game first (i.e. Campaign, Multiplayer game) causes an infinite loading screen when attempting to access the profile "edit heraldry" screen for the second account. Restarting the game fixes this - meaning the second account can now be logged into normally.

  • Vsync toggle does not always register as expected or can even be opposite what you expect. Depending on what other settings are changed, the actual state of Vsync vs what the checkbox is saying can be incorrect. Until this is resolved, if you need to ensure Vsync is enabled we suggest turning it to "on" instead of "application controlled" in your graphics card settings.
  • When launching from a desktop shortcut, you may notice the game re-launch itself before proceeding normally.

  • In certain cases, game performance may degrade or even lock up after playing many hours of consecutive play and require restart of the application.

  • Aggressively spam-clicking certain menus may produce temporary frame-rate drops or other unexpected results.

  • Your Shadow Hawk Pack can be found in the MechLab in the Campaign and MechBay in Skirmish.

  • If graphic issues: Please make sure that all of your graphics drivers are up to date and verify your game files!

  • Account registration is for MP only, not required for single player.

I only care about logging in because of Backer rewards. Same reason I'm guessing a lot of people do. I don't want to start a campaign only to need to restart it when the server is back up...
Yes exactly getting very frustrated and angry, as a backer and longtime waiter for this game, I want what I want.
 
Game crashed on the second story mission loading screen! Have to load, and REALLY IRRITABLY play the first mission again to give a new try. No save option there, two chrashes in a row now..
 
Cant connect to comstar, profile already exists, max res choice is 1900x1200 :(
Getting Profile already exists and no way to get out of the game with Alt-Tabbing and closing window.
Edit- Able to get in but cannot sign in.
Edit- After 3rd relaunch can sign in. Now expericencing Graphic issues. Screen keeps blinking to black. Am updating to Radeon drivers 18.3.4 to see if this fixes it. RX580 4gb card windows 10 pro64. running at 1920x1080 single monitor. The only time I have seen behavior like this is when I try to run some games in full 4K mode. Set all graphics to low and kept getting worse.

Are absolutely sure that rewards do not apply to already started game? I mean, that would be REALLY stupid.
 
About to write cranky post about why being able to pre-load when the first thing it does after unlocking is start downloading updates (why not part of the pre-load?)

*game finishes updating in 10 mins instead of the 2 hours it was telling me*

Why you spai on me paradox?! >.> :D

To be clear i'm teasing about the spying comment, the timing was just hilarious to me so i decided to write a funny post instead

Now.. 'scuse me... i gots some mechs to smash
