Time for a new video card or two.
What model are you running? I might have something newer in stock.

Don't run DX11 yet. You can set which DX you are using someplace. Probably in video settings. Stranger warned me a while ago that a lot of people have issues with it.

Maybe that was my problem. I haven't had any lockups since that night... and I have only played one match since that night. And I know I set it for DX11.

Second time in a week that I've completed a match getting the last kill only to discover that had I not gotten that kill, I would have earned the achievement for doing the most damage in a match without getting a kill.
I made some adjustments to my IM. Not sure if I like them or not. Added armor, double heat sinks, dropped the AC10 in favor of another AC5 and MLs...
I did just do 800+ damage in my first game during lunch, and got over 100 on my match score, but it doesn't seem to have the "Go fuck yourself and die" factor my CTF-4X brings.
I will be on tonight and tomorrow night.
By the way, this is hitting soon and is such a big deal even I've heard of the name, and I don't really know shit about Mechwarrior...
The Mad Cat

i had a couple of odd games myself last night. First off in however many hundred games i've played i've never had a game end in a tie. I had two last night, both ending in 10 deaths on each side.
Then in one game, i got one shotted in the head. The battle had just begun, it was on HPG Manifold map. I walked into the center of the map that is underground, to go capture theta. I hadn't taken a lick of damage yet, not even seen anyone at this point. I walked into the room right past a Jager carrying dual AC 20's and he put both rounds right into my cockpit. Next thing in know i just see my lifeless mech falling to the ground in the 3rd person camera. Considering that i have yet to get one headshot kill at all i gave the dude his props.
And that Mad Cat looks like cannonfodder to my BLR-1D! Ill blow them Mickey Mouse looking ears right off its torso just before i unload the rest of my cannons on that big ass target of a cockpit!

Are your guys's graphics that good?

Not quite that good, but my graphics at home are pretty fantastic.
There's a noticeable difference between the graphics here at the office, and my home PC.

I had settings cranked and before it would lock up I would look nothing like that. Will have to take some screenshots when I think about it so we can compare.

I'll crank everything way up tonight and take some screenshots too.
Keep in mind that their photo is under ideal settings. It's like the morons who watch TV commercials and think their console game is going to look that good. It doesn't occur to them that those commercials are made on PCs with top of the line equipment.

Well that looks like a nearly photorealistic, rendered cutscene, to me. My gameplay is nothing even close to that.

That is heavily shopped. The blurry back ground, perfect shadowing, etc. Not real game play. Mine isn't close to that either, and I have everything maxed out.

Thats a good sale, i might consider getting the Misery but i don't really need another assault right now. Missed out on the Boar's Head and Heavy Metal but again, both assaults. I'd like to have seen the Ember on sale because when i get into the lights i'm going with the Firestarter's.
Gordo might consider the Jester, 6 energy hardpoints makes it good for sniper rolls. Just run ER Large Lasers and ER PPC and you've got a nice long range direct fire mech. And the high "arms" on the Jester make it nice for hill humping, you don't have to expose much to fire your shots. Add that to the K2 you could buy with C-bills and you've got your 3 variants to master and all of them would play different than one another.

Those are the only two in this sale I was considering. Although, I've heard the Heavy Metal is meh despite the music.

Seconded.
What's the bonus that comes with hero mechs?

I'm not at the point yet where I will be spending real money in this game.

you get a permenant 30% c-bill and XP bonus whenever you play them. Also just about all of them if not all come with endo-steel and double heat syncs already installed, some even have an XL engine in them. So you save c-bills there.
I know for sure that the Jester has endo-steel and doubles already. And unlike the other Catapults, it can hold a max engine size of 355 instead of 315 like all the others.

That made me chuckle.
Not at you, but because it reminded me of us at the start of LoL. And again me starting out with Mechwarrior.

Patch Notes
There's a new Battlemaster.
They might have fixed Gordo's hanging issues.
They nerfed smaller caliber ballistics and gave SRMs a boost.
They added the benefit of standing in water to your heat.
Etc.
