Can't even load Mercenaries? WTF Capcom.
I just reinstalled this game for the Ada update, and I can't even play the game. I can get into the menu, but if I try to select Ada to play in Mercs, the game crashes a second after trying to load. I can't get it to work at all. This game is a buggy piece of crap.

It's not my pc, lol. Not even close. Latest drivers, updates, etc, all taken care of. My PC is an absolute beast, and running this game on ultra with ray tracing on doesn't even come close to using all my VRAM.

RTX 3090Ti 24 GB
Intel i9 13900K
64 GB of DDR5 6000 Mhz RAM
Game is installed on a brand new current gen M.2 drive installed directly on the mobo.

Ok, you really REALLY suck these days Capcom. I verified the game files, and 4 files failed to validate. Makes no sense for a fresh install of a game, but sure, why not.

Guess what though? YOU HAVE TO REDOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE GAME TO PATCH IT. And not only that, it patches it AT LESS THAN HALF YOUR INTERNET SPEED. The clowns in HQ decided to have the game patch itself at the same time as it downloads the frakking files!

Fancy M.2 drive or not, with such a stupid system for repairing game files, you might as well reinstall the game from scratch if you have any bugs. Because you'll be waiting twice as long to play it again as you would if you just reinstalled the stupid thing.

So... the problems you're describing? That's not a capcom problem.

It's a combination of your internet and steam. Internet hiccups can cause files to not download properly. The patch process being slow is because of steam's terrible delta patching.

You should really take some time to actually learn about software issues so you can know where the actual problem lies.

Gotta love Packet Loss/faulty server having issues... It sounds like your internet was the weak link or Valve's servers. As an indie game dev on Steam we have NO control over how files are distributed and the fact that my Merc's still works means you need to troubleshoot your internet/check your router or consider contacting Valve a local "node" I.E the server you set on Steam to download from in settings might be having some issues even. Since my understanding is that once we upload to one Data center for our game build it gets copied worldwide within minutes across their network so they can "serve" your content from a server close to you.

You can be proud on your "absolute beast" as much you want. Wasting money on it can't buy you knowledge.
