alright i don't know if this problem has been asked...


but theres a few of us (on different servers)


when we go fade in mid blink our game freezes and we have to alt tab out and taskmgr close it or restart.


it has happend multiple times and im afraid to fade again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />


i was wondering if it had to do with rates or what because if it's happening to others I know it's not my computer because it easily handles NS.

thx

    Yikes! No, I have not experienced this luckily and I hope I will never. But that reallt sucks if blink is the cause...

    For reference, what is your OS, graphics card, your version of DirectX, and your version of the graphics card's drivers? That might give us a much better problem-solving picture.

    This might be because of the recent steam update. Lots of people are crashing pretty much constantly.

    That sounds like it might be it. It's not just fade blink, leap had been doing it for a few people I know too. Guess we just have to wait for the people at VALVe to get this sorted out.

    OK!!! I am glad to see that many ppl have the same problem as me!

    In case anyone didn't know, I love fading <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fade.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::fade::" border="0" alt="fade.gif" />

    Its very difficult, let alone IMPOSSIBLE to fade w/o blink. I get a WHOLE SYSTEM crash when I blink. This happened to me FIVE TIMES.

    I know this is a VERY BIG BUG b/c fades on the alien team suddenly crashing mid-game can ruin the balance NS holds most dear.

    I would love to see NS 3.2.1 come next week b/c of this vital balancing issue. Please eliminate this crash NS ppl!

    I still continue to sponsor the NS team for their wonderful work. Keep it up dudes. And other than this crash, 3.2 rules! CHIA!

    And ppl, if you see -=TH=- Cosmic Flare... its me! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Peace out.

    People are crashing on 3.1.3 as well. The issue is not with version 3.2. As I said, it most likely has to do with the STEAM update, and you'll have to wait for them to fix it.

    Just tried it myself using +movement and alt-tabbing and haven't been able to get it to crash, so I'm not sure if it does it for everybody.

    Yes, i know, im bit newbie with console. Could you tell how can you do that +movement thingy for noncrashable <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fade.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::fade::" border="0" alt="fade.gif" /> ?

    YES!!! i was playing around w/ NS... and I found out that the new reload/movement bind button ® can be used to leap and blink W/O CRASHING. Just some ppl prefer the old skool tactics, like me, so thats why the next patch needs to fix this.

    But if you love <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fade.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::fade::" border="0" alt="fade.gif" /> -ing so much, just use "R" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />


    ok-bye

    yeah, that's the only fix for it so i guess we'll just have to wait till they patch it so we can go back to the old way.
