So, my account is still borked.  There are several of my mechs that won't launch and they give me the "Test Drive is No Longer Available" error.  But, I think I found a work-around...

 

On those mechs, I removed all my internals and then put them back on and voila! - I can launch that mech!  (Specifically, I removed the internals, exited the garage, then went back into the garage and put the same internals back on.)

 

This has worked on all the mechs I tried it on so far.  But, I noticed that some of them are missing their abilities too lol...

 

Hope this helps someone.

this method working if you have mechs with 1 weapon (or TOW+thruster frankenstein), or mechs with alpha bodyparts like moby?
just interest bacoz some people from ru-community still whining sometimes that accounts is broken and tech-support don't answer or don't do nothing :/

As far as broken abilities go, Ashfire's tool is still up. I haven't had a reason to use it lately so I'm just assuming it still works. 

 

Just tested the "check for broken abilities" feature and that worked.

Not sure if it works for 1 weapon mechs or not, I did not have any of those left that I noticed.

Does it work when your mech only shows one thing equipped like the weapon?

It won't work for the 1-weapon mechs. We know the issue - the server sees that your Mech is missing the item from the inventory list and doesn't let you spawn. it's just a matter of being able to deploy a fix so you can play using those Mechs, which right now with a code freeze we cannot. Our eventual fix is going to be 'automatically detect and recover these on spawn' when we do implement a fix.

No. it won't work, but i get spawned anyway, with "secondary weapon glitch" where random secondary weps are on it: a'la sabot-bruiser, nade launcher bruiser, etc.  my upper for Fred is missing so it gave me elite Pred head. assault is missing arms and legs so it gave me elite skins for them.  the smc was missing from my van, so i just got another one.  no probs indicated by ashfire's fix, so other than the goofy bruiser, everything works fine.

Sounds like that's an improvement from not being able to use them at all.

i actually went ahead and bought the missing smc on the vanguard.  it's my tricked out mech (on a smurf) and i'm keen on playing with my balls, so i'm now rocking a single-mech acct. Fred, Salt, and Brucer (AR and Sabot!) are all in storage, i guess, unless i decide to disembowl/restuff them for some reason.

ya still can't beat the price.

 

oh, and:  "when we do implement a fix."

 

Soon

Hi guys,
I'm glad I found this thread because I have the same problem with the bruiser (long time not opened my account, it says test drive is no longer available, can't spawn online, spawn offline but without the missile launcher).
I tried contacting support but I could only make a query on a searchbase, not really feeling to actually talk to someone from the support team...........

I've tried removing all my items and internals, but still cant spawn online and stil can't get the missile launcher offline, looks like it has been removed from this game?? WTF?!
It's like because the Bruiser is free this week, I can't access my own Bruiser.


The issue is still here on this new year, can anybody help me on this? 

Waiting for any answer, Thanks

wow, i gotta say right from the top... Hands down the DUMBEST glitch i've ever seen in a game, but man does it ever frustrate you.

:nuke: :nuke:

it's been a long time since i have even given hawken a single thought but i came back just for a look-see and i find that half my mechs have this bug... definitely not pleased, even worse is that it's only my favorite two chassis that have is issue, so thanks for that.

well, i think that i will be quickly un-installing this game unless that fabled patch comes damn soon, otherwise i just don't see the desire to grind those mechs out again when the population is in such a state, only i stand to lose.

my CRT frame is missing 95% of the frame,

while my Raider is showing the missing secondary glitch,

is this really fine with the Devs?? they're just OK with leaving people in this state?  :down:
