For those of you that have downoaded the MechWarriror: Living Legends Beta from here, Wandering Samuari Studios have already released a Hotfix for their mod to address some stability issues.
Written by Criminal – Tuesday, 29 December 2009:
Hey everyone,
Good news for all the players helping us make this beta such a huge success: We are releasing our first hotfix today that will address some of the issues with game stability. After installation you should see a good improvement in stability!
Another fix added involved clients not being able to connect to password protected servers. So to all Clans and groups using private servera you should now be able to connect with the proper password.
Here is a nice addition and something you might be interested in: Servers will now log statistical information on games played to the My Documents\My Games\Crysis\MWLL\stats folder. Each map played will write an XML file containing information on what was used in the game.
Got Crysis?
Love you some Mech on Mech action?
Then today is the day for you then as Dec 26th marks the Beta release of MechWarrior: Living Legends (MWLL)!
For those of you that are unaware of what MWLL is, MWLL is a total conversion mod for Crysis, a project of which has been in the works for close to 3 years now, and is finally coming into fruition today.
I for one have been anxiously waiting for this for shortly over 2 years myself, hopefully MWLL will fill that Mech fighter nostalgia I have been looking for, for a while now (only with re-vamped graphics).
Wandering Samurai Studios:
MechWarrior: Living Legends (MWLL) is a total conversion modification for Crysis. MWLL is at its very core a mix between a First Person Shooter (FPS) and a Simulation (SIM). This will be achieved through the use of a mixed arms massively multiplayer gaming experience where the player takes part in a battle using a variety of vehicles and weapons. MWLL is using the concepts pioneered by the “Battlefield” franchise and more recently Crysis, of a sandbox feel where you get to play what you want and how you want it. MWLL depicts the epic struggles between the two factions of Battletech “The Clans” and “The Inner Sphere”. Maps will typically have a mix of vehicles and infantry combat, using both of these to complete objectives as a team will be essential to winning rounds or campaigns in MWLL. In the project we will be bringing some of the legends of “MechWarrior” franchise back to life with new art and animations that do justice to these huge weapons of war and also do something that’s never be done before using the deep universe of Battletech. There are so many facets to Battletech and finally comes a title that is willing to explore them.
For more information on this Mod go to their website or to their ModDB page and read up on it.
Here is their Beta Release Trailer to whet your appetite:
Do to Pharacon needing to unleash the dragon at his Sisqo class….(err wait wrong Cisco)..the LAN for Dec 5th has been moved to Jan 9th, same agenda as far as time should apply, changes will be posted here.
Pharacon:
“Cisco class has struck and has taken over my Saturday when the LAN party was to be held. I have rescheduled it for January the 9th. Sorry about the last minute change but that is how it goes sometimes.”
And I guess while I am here, everyone have a good turkey day.
There will be another lan coming up on Saturday, December 5th, this one will be put on by Pharacon at his house west of Houston.
Click the link on the to the right of the page, or his name in this post to get to his page and to get your name on the list of attendees for the event.
Otherwise a quick breakdown of the LAN is as follows: Date: December 5th (1pm ~ 3am or so.) Location: Pharacon’s House Parking: Depending on how many people show up, people may need to park down the street some, the house is at the end of a culdesac and hinders traffic flow (and neighbors getting home) at the end of the street, so unload your stuff, and if it looks like you need to move, do so. Things to bring: PC and proper cables (do not forget your cat5 cables you twits), a 6pack of soda you like, $5 for the pizza fund, and be sure to have TF2, CS:S pre-loaded!
I will post with more details as need be, see you there.
The location of the LAN will be moving!
Do to being unable to acquire the recent location we have been using in Angleton, we will be reverting back to our old roots and taking things back to the Lake Jackson Library, which is located at 250 Circle Way Lake Jackson, TX 77566, inbetween the Lake Jackson Civic Center and the Lake Jackson Police Station it is only a 10~15min drive further down the road from where the location in Angleton is.
We will be trying to get another LAN up and going on Friday, October 30th, plans are to start on or around 7pm and going till whenever things die off.
Hopefully with advanced notice this time we will have a bigger turn out.
What games would you guys like to play this time around?
Let us try and have less issues with “Hey lets play this who has it installed?…oh….well let us pass around the install media then!…oh hey something shiney…lets play something diffrent!”
So either add some comments to this post or hit the forums and start a discussion there.

Also thank you BAWLS for sending out our care package for the last LAN, will try and get another package for this next event, I would have pictures from last event if my microsd card did not shat itself and kill everything on it.
Want tasty blue bawls for your mouth?
Give them a visit by clicking the link/image to the right, or come to the LAN and have some there!

Here is an update finally. We did get permission to have the party near the Angleton City Hall again. For those who don’t know, the address is:
121 S Velasco, Angleton, TX behind new city hall
7PM on Saturday the 12th
I am told that there is a small chance that we could get a last minute cancellation on the building, so we are getting a backup location set up, probably the Lake Jackson Library.
Bring munchies and drinks, or drink ours, we don’t care ! We will probably order pizza as usual. No fees involved (except pizza), just pitch in where needed. A couple of you have volunteered to help set up and that is greatly appreciated. I will let you know if I get any more details.
If I could I would like to get a head count to help plan. Post here or email me.
The time has come for the 2009 Fantasy Football picks.
This will be headed by Cold_Steel/Silent A$$a$$ian as it is every year, buy in will be $20 the winner takes the whole pot.
This is done via a live draft generaly at Silent’s house, so hit him up on the forums if you would like to join in, or get more details.
There also will be an online draft league that he will be running.
