LIVE - BATTLETECH 1.7.1 Hot Fix Release Notes

[HBS_Comanche]

Thank you for playing BATTLETECH! Release 1.7.1 is now available for users on Steam and GoG. Other platforms will release as soon as possible. This hot fix addresses a single issue which affected the randomization of enemy lances, Hiring Hall MechWarriors, and other groupings that used the shuffle algorithm.

Release 1.7.1 Notes, 9/23/2019

From the Community

• Fixed an issue with randomization which caused all enemy lances to be composed mostly of 'Mechs in alphabetical order

IMPORTANT: Additional note for players who mod various game files…Reminder that modding is not officially supported. If you have saved a game with any mod active, that saved game will not work after an update has been applied unless you replace all modded files exactly as they were when the save game file was created. Saved games require the exact same data state in order to function properly.

Excellent and timely Hot Fix. Thank you HBS. :bow:

 

[Justin Kase]

Many thanks for the quick fix!!!

 

[Edmon]

This was a pretty important fix, good to have it out in good time.

 

[Juodas Varnas]

Ahhm that explains why half of my Argo's storage space is Atlases now, without having seen a King Crab in ages.

 

[Lok52]

I would usually only get 2 Atlas, then multiple Awesomes, of both variants. Really irritating.

 

[MarkDey]

Huh! I didn't even know this was a thing. Might explain why getting a Locust -V or -S to show up instead of a -M was taking forever though...

 

[gh0s7]

Thanks for the hot-fix!

 

[EnvoyEnd]

Ahhh . . . That must have been why I've been fighting about 5 bajillion Commandos and Blackjacks in my new career playthrough. Glad to see that fixed!

 

[Scoppio]

Wooooow, this explains why I faced a 4 skull mission agains 2 Atlas, 6 Awesomes and 2 banshes.

PS.: The loot was ok tough

 

[Sir Dyalot]

Yep, lots of commandos. I will be big enough to see an Atlas someday.

Ooo-kay. That explains the all Archer, Atlas and Awesome lances... I wondered why no one was fielding Zeus' anymore...

Adding my thanks HBS. Variety is the spice of life;-)

 

[KnightCole]

The real question is when will modding be officially supported?

Never is sadly the answer to that question.

Update 25/09/19
One should never say never and I could be wrong (shocker, I know )! I'll let HBS give an official comment on this since I'm not part of the development team .

 

[Eximar]

If it's truly never, then that's sad indeed.

 

[unclecid]

never goes against "...in success all things are possible.."

While that was nice and appropriate to the times, honesty and certitude is always appreciated and in this day and age, rare enough. :bow:

Archer... :’(

Oops, I meant to say: all the "Atlas', Awesomes and Autobots" No, wait, Airmaster! No, Gipsy Avenger!!
