Mechwarrior: Living Legends Beta RELEASED

[KorJax]

No, you need vanilla crysis with 1.21 at the moment for the beta. We will eventually port over to warhead/wars though so if it's all you got then you can just wait it out a bit till we go over to that.

Anyone figure out how to get steam to give you the 64-bit version of Crysis yet?

Nice, sounds like a lot of issues tackled in this patch.

I am going to enjoy seeing the player names in the target box. For some reason everyone showed up as 'Snookums' for me =/

[Surf314]

I'm going to try this again!

The patch is great! I noticed a decent increase in FPS in large fights, turn rate is much higher (yay), and the game seems a lot more enjoyable now! w00t! BA's easier to kill!
