------ CONTROLS -------
- Complete set of new targeting controls:

- Target previous enemy surface
- Target previous enemy air
- Target nearest / next friendly surface
- Target nearest / next friendly air
- Target previous friendly surface
- Target previous friendly air
These controls are the new default, the old controls have been moved to a new category called "legacy targeting".
The default keys will be added in the action mapper so you will most likely have to fix your bindings there.
If you use air targeting controls and no air target is around, your current ground target will be retained and
you get an error message from Betty and vice versa.
------------------------------------------------------
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.14.0 ---------
------------------------------------------------------
------ GAMEPLAY -------
- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
- Air LBX does not collide with mechlegs
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
- BA hardmount MG is not yet textured.
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however.
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.
------- AUDIO ---------
- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.
-------- MAPS ---------
- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water
-------- HUD ----------
- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.
------ CONTROLS -------
- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: Wiki.mechlivinglegends.net
nice thanks!
THAAAANKS!
