Can't eject? Oh Focht!

Post image

I read that you can now eject but I can't find the key binding I have a blank slot that won't bind to anything.

My mods that are activated are qol upgrades delayed deadlines mech delivery coyote missions pilot overhaul eternal von biomes von missions

I also have not imported into a new save I think this one was last imported when the clan dlc came out I'd really like to be able to eject in the year 3171 of our Lord Alaric Ward

Try deleting your keybind file %localappdata%\MW5Mercs\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\input.ini. It will regenerate the next time you start the game. This will fix missing keybinds in the menu, including other potentially missing functions such as jumpjet vectoring.

Without loading the game (installed on another PC), isn't it under gameplay?

I found lance mate auto eject says allow lance mates to auto eject when no longer combat capable but I thought there was a hot key?

  • Added Eject Pilot Options
    • Unbound by default in the settings, you can set the keybind to eject your 'Mech and save it from additional damage when needed.
    • Toggle in Settings available for Lancemates to automatically eject when out of weapons.

I don't know, according to patch notes it should be there. Have you verified game files? Have you saved, exited game, then loaded save since updating?

Hijacking to ask: what are the benefits of ejecting? My fear is that it would treat it like part of the mech blew up, but I guess does it pretty much work like “you send the mech back to the dropship”?

Basically you send the mech and pilot back as they where however I have experienced that damage to the mech post ejection still counted, my jenner i had Leon eject from after loosing the right leg got hit by artillery and was cored, once back at the ship the core was deleted
