I can handle these.
Watch the Unity engine not doing exclusive full screen
No Multiplayer on Beta release, will be patched in later.

It's so close I can practically taste it...
The composer just posted this excellently produced behind the scenes video with the strings and the synth of the music playing - it is really really good https://youtu.be/1OqJc5ysiIk

Man i hope I can run this on my integrated. I7 6000 series, 24gb RAM laptop
Well your iGPU is objectively below the minimum reqs listed above, but that doesn't mean you won't run it on low settings.

Yeah, the RPS preview was glowing. I couldn't remember if I backed enough for skirmish beta access, but I did!

From their update email-
Much respect and literal music to the ears. An incredible strategy and a winning combo with this team!

ITS HERE !@#@#
Also, don't sleep on the extra goodies, especially the Stackpole novellas. They've been really good.

Key arrived. Just need to get off work now.
At the moment? Apparently not. Unknown for final release.
EDIT This assuming the beta does not have support for that because they don't know for final release yet.
I will assume that since their manual PDF tells you how to take 4K screenshots they want you to share them.

I only read the first one; I liked it quite a bit, but I didn't know any of the others were out. Sounds good.
Note to self, don't fall over or expect a mech boot to the face.
Very happy with the mechanics and feel of the game, the mech movement and models and damage in particular are amazing.
Going to play around a little more to give more feedback then uninstall and wait for the full game otherwise i'll play it in to the ground lol.

Think it's minimum of $50 tier? I forget.

Those who paid for access, I believe.
My only issue is the setting menu being inactive so i can't play around with my set-up. Its coming in a update so its cool.
I recommend reading the manual, 1. because they actually bothered to do one unlike most games now adays. 2. It will help your understanding of the systems a little better for optimal play.
One last game before i prep for Tekken 7.

First round was pretty rough since the game didn't play at all like I expected.
Round 2 went much better since I figured out how the markers around the enemy mechs tell you if you can hit it with the weapons.
Kinda wonky UI I must say. Pretty fun anyways.
Gonna make a list of feedback when I've played a few more hours

Got my key!
Anyone confirm no 21:9 support yet?
I'd like to know this too. Would look great on my ultrawide.
Holy crap the loading screens take forever. But I love the look of the loading screen. Visuals are on point, now to eventually let this loading screen finish and find out how it plays.
Edit: I think my first attempt at loading skirmish has resulted in an infinite loading screen. Loading screen has been so long that the music stopped. Definitely an alpha.

Loaded in a few seconds with my m.2 950 Pro
Yeah, seems to have been a glitch. I'm on an R1700, let it go for 10 minutes and the music eventually stopped.
Edit: Yep, loaded in 3 seconds this time.
First match, took 16 rounds (47 minutes). Beat the AI 4-0, with no serious damage on my side.
The AI gave perfect example of defeat in detail by sending 'Mechs attacking my battle line one at a time. Hope that isn't the norm.
Runs surprisingly badly, mere 25-40 FPS (high variability depending on what's on the screen) at 1080p, high presets. R9 390, Core i5 6600K, 16GB RAM. Presumably this is due to Unity engine and the game's unfinished state. EDIT Depends on the map as well. Another map runs closer to 50 FPS while not much on screen.
Though low performance in a turn-based game isn't a terribly big deal.
Looks reasonably pretty. Kinda stylized. Water splash was nice. Weapon sounds effects the LRMs aside feel a bit weak.
Music was rather subdued. Not sure if the track or general style. Hope the full soundtrack has some rock or metal as well, suited MechWarriors pretty well.
Wish exact heat (and stability) amounts were visible. Don't like bar graphs, not reliable enough.
Determining range while moving is... actually, how the hell do you tell?
As a result, using mixed range generalist like the Shadow Hawk is difficult. Not inaccurate, happens in the tabletop game as well but not nice either. Probably should've taken multi-shot-capable pilot.
Using melee is awkward because the game doesn't always seem to be showing the potential attack directions. Don't like that i can't move my 'Mech manually with move command and then use melee; as it is melee option is only allowed if an enemy is at normal movement distance at the start of the turn.
I do like the melee animations a lot though, and the idea of allowing small weapons to attack with melee is brilliant.
That's just some thoughts for now.
