Greetings MechWarriors,

We will be rolling out a hot-fix today, scheduled for release at 10:00 AM PDT (17:00 UTC), with the following changes:

• Mech Collision Capsule Size and Movement Archetype are decoupled and all variants of the ‘Mechs below have had their minimum climb angle (the angle of hill at which the Mechs begin to lose speed) changed from their default Movement Archetype values:

• Grasshopper, Victor, and Gargoyle, which have the Huge archetype, are now set to 25 degrees and so equivalent to the Large archetype (previous value was 20.) These Mechs should have an easier time going up hills.

• King Crab, which has the Large archetype, is now set to 20 degrees, equivalent to the Huge archetype (previous value was 25.) This Mech should have a harder time going up hills.

• FPS Improvement for Alpine Peaks (may affect other maps)

• Missile locks have returned to their pre-March 17th patch behavior

• Locking the Tertiary Color channel for the FRR Faction Pattern

The estimated downtime for this hot-fix is approximately 1 hour.

When services are restored you will be required to apply a small patch.
