'Mech Quirk changes
TNS-4P:

- KFX-D Left Torso
- KFX-D Right Torso
- KFX-Prime Left Torso
- KFX-Prime Right Torso
Design notes: We want to provide the lesser used OmniPods with some more potent options at customizing your OmniMechs. As well as play into the high accuracy at long ranges niche the 'Mech is known for in the lore when combined with a number of set of 8 quirks.
HGN-IIC-A
- Clan ER PPC HSL +1
SNV-BR
- UAC/20 HSL +1 quirk added
- Bolt-On and Weapon Door shadows have been removed due to these shadows not animating along with the 'Mech.
- The Solaris Watch List is now the top element in the Solaris Overview panel and it is set to open by default.
- Fixed an art issue where the Summoner 'Mech's hip geometry were asymmetrical.
- Fixed an art issue where the Kintaro 'Mech's start-up animation was too quick, causing issues in the end of the animation.
- Scouting mode's Intel Collected displayed on the in-game HUD no longer resets to 0 when a player quits and re-joins the match.
- 'Mechs no longer get stuck between a building and rail tracks in cell D4 of Solaris City.
- 'Mechs no longer get stuck between a building and an elevated platform in cell D7 of Solaris City.
- Added the proper missing quirk changes to the Bushwacker BSW-HR 'Mech.
Patch Files (Direct Download)
To make the patching process easier for players with limited download caps, we'll be providing direct download links for the patch file(s) that comprise this patch. This will allow you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, for manual injection into the MWO patcher through a Patch Cache folder.
Aside from allowing you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, on another connection, there are no additional benefits to performing the patch this way; the patching process itself will be the same.
This direct patch download process will only work for players running the standalone client. It does not apply to players running MWO through Steam.
Patch File(s):
How to use these patch files
• Download the above file(s)
• For sake of ease we recommend creating a dedicated folder for the patch file(s), such as 'MWO Patch Cache'
• You do not need to unzip or unpack the patch file(s)
• Launch the MWO Portal
• Select the three horizontal lines in the top left of the Portal Window
• Choose the 'Specify Patch File Cache' option
• In the field that appears, paste or enter the location in which you saved the patch file(s) and hit OK
• For example, C:\Users\<username>\Documents\MWO Patch Cache
• Click the blue Patch button
• The launcher will now check the Patch Cache folder you defined. If it locates the required patch files, it will unpack and use those files to apply the patch.
• Once the patch is complete, launch the game
