    Thats good cause since 70% of pilots currently are black or some kinda of mudlisms and what not, cause incloosivity...

    No. Callyste's portraits are an improvement because the females are actually females, not crossdressing males and the males are real males, not trannies trying to look male.

    Modern day armoured combat vests in BTech is just another proof of HBS not caring about BTech lore or fans. Nothing new there. If I ever happen to be in the area, their HQ is going to be paint bombed until it looks like Rainbow Brite on LSD.

    Note to Kevin: Being a nerd fan of something doesn't mean you fuck it up the arse, Kevin. It means you treat the material with reverence and follow hat has been established. You are no fan of BTech. You are nothing but a rapist.

    I noticed that, most of the females are black or trannies, or both, very few normal females... And those black are not even well made... I mean i could go with some cool black dude, and some decent black woman, just for "diversity". Lots of interbreeding...

    Ov vey! i forgot how awful SJW reddit is. I made some comment about huge loading times and that the end trolling that they wasted their times on pronouns and incloosivity, comment got buried so fast with -30, same with another guys in that thread. GG ! SJW Safespace.

    Too bad on some missions there's a really heavy-handed application of instagram-style filters.

    I forgive the artist. Her artistic style makes up for the lack of nudity from mechwarrior chicks. This and the fact she's pretty hot.

    So if Bethesda had some hot chicks on the team that made Fallout 3/4 it makes it a good game (or faithful to Fallout 1/2)?

    Dude watch porn, jerk off to the artist and than stop thinking with your dick.

    Only because the SJW won't know what to do with one if they had one so they had to tell others to stop using theirs.

    That's why I asked, my peak memory usage has hit 4 GB but my game hasn't crashed and I don't experience the slowdowns others have mentioned. I'm not on a super computer either, it's an old i5-2500k

    Breaking news:
    BATTLETECH mods are not going to fix it

    Thanks for the heads up, I gave up on the game a couple of days ago. The story/writing/characters just killed the game for me.

    Interesting, I seem to have a similiar setup (plus an nvidia graphics card) but I encounter a lot of slow downs. Every 1-3 missions I had to restart the game as I run out of RAM.

    Do you have "peak working set (memory)" as a viewable column in your task manager? if you keep playing BT and have to restart it because of slowdowns, take a peak at that value beforehand. I left it running overnight in a battle (whoops) and came back and it was ~4.1 GB and was completely playable (edit: meaning it wasn't any slower than normal, mid 30s to 50s FPS, depending on the scene. v-sync disabled). I have an AMD card though, so maybe it's connected to display driver.

    Uhm, I have Windows 7 64 bit, in the task manager I can see how much memory is free, how much is used and how much BT uses.
    Oh it is completely playable for me too (in the mission) but loading new mission takes forever (or going through different menus, like mechbay, mechcustomization, even the game menu). Sometimes after just one story mission, the next mission needed like 10 minutes to load. If I restart it loads quicker (2-3 minutes?).

    Interesting, it never crashed for me, but yes it tries to drop other things and quiet takes some time to do so.

    i gave up on this (which i was playing only because i'm a battletech junkie) at the "you need two lances" mission. i climbed up to assaults without ever needing two lances, it's never been requested nor hinted or anything, why all of a sudden i need four more assaults? this means YEARS of grinding only to satisfy this arbitrary, uncalled for, retarded requirement.

    Game just crapped out on me. Time doesn't advance except for traveling, financial report is in status Done but doesn't display, mech repair no longer advances. Reloading doesn't help, playing a new contract doesn't help. Last option would be to reload further back but the fucking game apparently crapped out earlier and didn't do its usual autosave so last save is a manual save some 70 days back, at least 2 contracts and one Orion mech salvage behind and I'm not willing to go through all that again without being 100% sure the game works fucking properly. Looking up the problem only returns a bunch of people bitching about the same issue with no solution.

    :salute: GG, nice knowing you.

    edit: nevermind, got it working again, graphics look a bit weird though...

    Was your game modded? It seems updating to 1.03 breaks games that are modded, they've added something to that effect in the patch notes now. I think some people got it working again by reinstalling all the same mods and going to a slightly earlier save, not sure.

    No mods. Reinstalled the whole damn thing but it didn't help. Last option is to go back to an earlier save and hope for the best, but I really don't want to do that and I find it beyond the pale that there's such a massive blocker present.

    edit: wait, I replaced a logo. That isn't considered a mod....is it? Reinstalling replaced my custom emblem anyway...:|

    How many saved games do you have? If it's more than 50, cut it down to 10 or so. It's a known bug that everything slows the fuck down with a lot of saves. Same with items, if you have 100s of medium lasers, SRMs, Heatsinks - sell that shit. Something about the game / Unity counting large numbers throws a wrench.

    Still replaying Mechcommander, about 3/4 through the campaign. The varied mission design is incredible!
    In the current mission, I have to capture an abandonded base and defend it against enemy mechs. If you're too slow, the enemies will capture the base first, fortyfing their position. Light, fast Mechs are mandatory.

    Does this shit game even have anything like that?
