ORIGINAL PATCH NOTES

Greetings Mercenaries,

We have another MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries patch for you! The patch will be released tomorrow April 7th at 10 AM PDT (17:00 UTC).

This patch will update MW5 Mercs’ DLSS implementation and we're turning ray tracing ON! (Beta).

If you have a GeForce RTX GPU it offers some nice visual upgrades to reflections, lighting, and shadows.

You can check out supported cards here! https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/20-series/

Along with the game patch, we have an MW5 Mercs Editor patch with some improvements to make your modding life better.

 

MW5 Mercs Game Patch:

Version # 1.0.233

• Implemented DXR real-time ray tracing as a beta.
• Updates to Nvidia DLSS.

If you have feedback, questions or need support for RTX or DLSS please email technical@mw5mercs.com.

 

MW5 Mercs Editor Patch:

• Hot-loading of Mod assets no longer causes packaging errors. Mod Makers who were using the provided workaround to disable hot-loading prior to packaging no longer need to do so.
• The asset browser no longer shows assets from inactive Mods.

Fixes for the additional Known Issues highlighted in our last Editor Hot-Fix are still in progress. We'll keep you posted on those upcoming updates!

 

Best Practices:

It's always a good idea to back up your mod work, and save games folder before a patch arrives.

In order to back up your save game:

• Open File Explorer
• Click the address bar at the top
• Copy-paste the following line and hit Enter:
• %localappdata%\MW5Mercs\Saved\
• Back up the SaveGames folder

Mod Makers should make sure their mod assets are backed up before proceeding with the editor update.

 

Regards,

The MechWarrior 5 Mercs Team
