![]() Those are the main differences you'll likely notice (as noted, the career mode has a few other significant changes that come earlier, notably the option to start with a random lance instead of the default lance, and the new Flashpoints). Those buildings are also destroyable and quite fragile though, so they can be easily destroyed, which causes significant damage to any mech standing on it (I had a mission where I was supposed to destroy a marauding lance of mechs raiding the area the "Mission Success" screen included the employer saying something along the lines of "the citizens of can now rest in peace with that threat removed," which amused me because I'm pretty sure I destroyed a half-dozen major buildings during that mission, so a lot of those citizens are probably now homeless). There are tons of buildings, both blocking sight-lines regularly and also offering places for jumping mechs to stand on and rain down fire from above. ![]() If you head to a system with Urban biome (I believe you can filter these on the map), you'll likely have several random missions on those maps (although note that some people have reported terrible performance hits on those maps they work fine for me, and it seems to be hardware specific, but be advised), which play quite differently. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice now (including deleting hidden areas like appdata as well as cleaning the registry entry for hairbrained) EDIT: I have also verified files several times, everything validates. There are a few new mission types to look for: Battle (which generally involve you getting involved in a battle with multiple enemy factions, which might be allied with each other, with you, or mutually hostile the random missions have names like "Clash of the Titans," which involves two Assault Battlemechs fighting each other, while your much lighter lance hides and then finishes off the survivor in order to salvage both, or "Spoiler" which is similar but with somewhat weaker enemy lances) and Attack and Defend (in which you need to destroy an enemy base before their swarm of hostile reinforcements destroy your base these are extremely difficult). Hey all, I am having a problem where I cant launch a new career. As noted, the Flashpoints won't spawn until after the scripted campaign missions, if you do a campaign instead of a career-mode game, which means no Ravens (which require the relevant Flashpoint to spawn) and no Hatchetman (which are in the Flashpoint DLC, with the same requirement). Like I said, I had done the steps of uninstalling and reinstalling BATTLETECH a few times before, so maybe it had something to do with Steam being corrupted.Īnyway, it looks like it is working now so hopefully this helps someone else.Click to expand.If you have the DLC, you'll probably run into 30-ton Javelins (both the N and the F variety) fairly regularly on low-star missions, which are a DLC mech. ![]() The Settings menu is acting as expected and I've started the game twice now with no issues. BATTLETECH update 1.6 and the Urban Warfare paid expansion are available now for Steam, GOG, and Paradox Plaza on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. The opening menu has a video playing in the background (before it was just black). Once Steam is reinstalled, download and install BATTLETECH again. Go to and download the Steam installer, run it.Delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\ folder if it still exists.Uninstalled Steam through the Control Panel.Moved the 'SteamApps' folder out of the steam installation directory.Exit Steam completely (if it minimizes to the system tray, exit that too). ![]() I've not had any issues with Steam but figured it couldn't hurt. Paradox support said the log file I sent them had 'serious' Steam errors in it. If the install doesn't get rid of these folders you'll have to delete them manually
