Overriding Shutdown causes immunity to heat?

Post by ThePorthos »

I found this weird bug in all 3 games (Titanium) where when I override shutdown due to heat, I can keep firing constantly and never blow up? This bug is really annoying and I don't know if its just my install or if anyone else has this problem. I've tried deleted the MechVM directory and re-downloading it, but still have the same problem. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Sorry, can't help on that one. The game is not so hard that you have to overheat. Just build a config with enough heat sinks and use your weapons carefully. This should be sufficient as you may find that the AI has been dumbed down extremely.

Fixing the heat bug would be extremely hard, but improving AI may be possible.

The heatbug has been there ever since the pentium came out.
You have to remember this game was made prior to that even existing.
Just don't use it

Alright, I treat it like it wasn't there anyway. I just thought I might be the only one with this problem, because I'm not though I don't really mind. Thanks :-)

I got a similar problem too. If I keep pushing it and keep going like there is no limit, I eventually blow up. It seems to me that there is still a limit, however the point of combustion seems to be increased to the point where it seems like it's not there. Other times I just randomly blow up because I didn't shutdown and cool off. If I were you, I would stay away from a full red bar and if you ever vget to that point, shutdown asap.
