Thanks but unfortunately that being for HOTAS doesn't seem to help... I'm using a xbox elite controller.
Limits on controller support
So, zero control of menus with the controller, no way to walk forward and back in the FPS sections and no way to remap it. Pretty amateur hour stuff here.
Luckily the controller defaults when in the mech seem to work ok so far. In the first mission however I needed to use "E" on the keyboard to interact with the salvage crates.
Other than all that, I did an instant action mission and the first campaign mission, and this really is Mechwarrior. Very impressed so far.

I imagine the instructions regarding the hardware and vendor ID may still carry over.
It being on the Epic games store doesn't help. Once it gets to Steam I'll jump in.
Again, Piranha have done pretty much anything in their power not to create hype for the game. No previews for press, no open betas, few trailers in-between, late review embargo...
That is not how you create hype in 2019, in my humble professional opinion.
Same here, this was one of my most looked after games for 2019, but 2020 it is!
The narrative stuff is pretty cackhanded and boring after HBS Battletech, but the core gameplay loop is stompy goodness. I'm enjoying it already, and I imagine that mods have the potential to make it truly special.
I feel like they should have teamed up with HBS and let them handle narrative and artistic duty.

I'm hearing rumblings of a return of mektek.
The modding potential is enourmous.
Yo, I didn't know the main game was going to have the mechanics of the Battletech game I loved so much! The story isn't exactly thrilling but the management/travel time/refit and repair balancing is in here, this is great!
Yep, that's how I'm feeling right now. I CANNOT WAIT for my HOTAS to get here today.
I'm thinking about getting a new one. The ol' X52 is getting a bit old. Whats the hot newness in HOTAS nowadays?
When we putting together an ERA lance?
It isn't coming to Steam, it's an EGS exclusive.
There were press previews, and there was a demo for press as well. The same one that was given to MW5 backers. I've been playing that and the full game since the end of November.
Yeah, the late embargo was crap, I agree. The game isn't bad and I enjoyed it. There are a few minor concerns but the game is solid and has legs.
That said, if anyone want any footage or whatnot, let me know.
It'll hit Steam in about a year.
Honestly not sure. I picked up a Thrustmaster T-Flight X because it was $50 on Amazon and seemed like a really solid way to jump in. You can spend a whole lot more if you want, though.
I'm down to play with Era folks once I have a better grip on things!
One year. Xmas 2020 baby!
I have a T.16000 I'm looking to get rid of for dirt cheap. Stick, throttle and pedals, US only.
I did some searching. Got a really shitty mad cats era x52 but I hear the new logitech ones are just as good as the old (actual) Saiteks if you can verify which run you are buying.
That being said, I have a Thrustmaster T16k-m that I think I like more than the x52 layout wise. Stick doesn't feel as good as my old ST290 (and presumably a good x52 would feel like) but it is comfortable as hell and the button layout is a lot more conducive to mapping a range of games. And the throttle layout is great with plenty of POV hats I can treat as separate buttons. Not as huge on the pedals but part of that is that I think I've been using the toe-brake equivalent all these years and not actual rudder pedals so... yeah
If you are playing just flight sims an x52's layout woudl be nice, but I would say to just go CH at at that point. But for a variety of games the t16k with whatever addons you want seems the best bet. Part of me actually wants to buy a second stick so I can HOSAS in E:D (and maybe MW5) since that actually works REALLY well from videos.
One of the reasons I didn't like MWO was that you pretty much needed to use KB/M to be competitive.
Now we have a full mechwarrior game that is single player, and I can use a competitively inferior but immersively superior control method.
Also, I can comfy couch it.

Your brand name only helps you when people actually hear it. Beyond the announcement, release date and then later delay/ EGS deal, I haven't seen too much about the game in the bigger gaming outlets.
Getting the word out these days is pretty tough, as people are non-stop bombarded by news, media and content. Relying on name, especially one that was been largely dormant for over a decade (MWO aside), doesn't always work.
Game is only sold on EGS, on nothing else.
There are no keys you can get from other retailers.
Worst part about EGS. I'm super keen for this, but $74 dollarydoos converted seems a little steep for the lack of polish.
FIrst update targeting next week

OP
Trying to play coop and keep getting failed to connect to server errors. We're past the required mission in the single player campaign. I can't find any official troubleshooting forum for the game. Anyone have any ideas, or been able to get coop to work?
I had no problems with co-op playing with a friend in the pre-order beta, but I haven't had a chance to try the retail release yet. Have you tried asking in the official Discord? There is no official forum, just the Discord and a tech support e-mail address: [email protected]
Phoenix Point flopped? It is reviewing better than MW5.
So it's even more of a "flop", so you can continue not using Epic's store if that is your criteria.
Thanks, we ended up on their discord. The problem went away when we tried later. Not sure what changed.
Oh man I forgot all about this. MechWarrior 2 is one of the games that made realise how fucking great video games are.
Sadly my current computer is potato jerry-rigged to a rudimentary screed, so I'll be hoping that Xbox port becomes a reality.
I really think MechWarrior could be a huge franchise for Microsoft, no idea why they have done so little with it and licenced it out to small studios?
