UWE,

For the love of god, fix the invincible structure bug.
Its been 6 months now.
So many games have been ruined to an invincible crag or hydra.
I love NS2 but this is just crazy that it is still happening.

    You know, you get more positive attention when you don't use really vague thread titles like that.

    That happened to me too, but with a veil and with a shade in Refinery. But they must be fixing it for sure , because has been reported many times.

    Anyone sick of needing to swap weapons before being able to fire or reload?

    Don't move! They can't see us if we don't move. Wait I think I'm mixing something up here...

    *Ghosthree3 and Kouji_San get shot*

    Oh sh!t, run you fool, RUN!!!*

    * side note: eggs can't run

    I've seen invincible crags and shades normally once every 10-ish rounds and I have around 400 hours. Don't know how some of you never see them.

    I see them fairly often also. Its ridiculous when you have 3 marines with shotties trying to shoot down a crag and its still at full health.

    I've played for over 500 hours and I see this bug at least once every 3 rounds that I play Marines. However, I believe I have found a workaround. You can shoot the very base of the invincible structure to damage it normally (this usually works). That is easier said than done when you are trying to kill Hydras on the ceiling, though.

    It's has to do with a desync of the actual hitbox and the structure location, client side you see the hitbox on the model, the server sees it somewhere else I believe. It's weird and hard to repro reliably somehow. Something about low server performance in combination with low client performance, if I recall correctly...

    I guess this trick is not very well known then:

    Quite often, when I want to evolve while in a vent, it seems impossible...the evolution refuses to start, maybe because the vent is to narrow or low.
    So if you first hold your crouch-key, and then enter the evolution-menu, it will work most of the time.

    This way, I've been able to evolve on the strangest spots as well, like on top of a steel beam....but just be carefull not to be pressing a movement-key, when you pop out of the egg.

    Popping out of the egg and immeadiatly falling down some abyss, well this happened to me once, on Docking's Landing Pad, as I was trying to evolve "safely" behind one of those big crates.

    Speaking of bugs, it would be nice if you didn't get blocked by an invisible wall when going over this particular section of piping in platform area of tram

    The invicible crag bug sucks almost as much as the dead zones on the commander screen where you can't drop medpacks.

    Yeah, some marines really need to take good care of their weapon. I can't tell you how many times I see them drag it across the goo, throw it at the wall, or smack an alien in the face with it. It's like they never passed basic training!

    i've seen invincible crags maybe 3-4 times in the last 20 hours, so it seems to be getting more frequent for me at least. hard to hold positions when you have a crag healing the attackers sitting inside your forward base. also, stupid reload bug gets me every so often too.

    Know of it, sometimes it doesn't work, I'm talking more about evolving up on beams and such.

    I haven't encountered this bug in a while so I'm wondering if its related to a specific mod (maybe ns2stats?) The next time this occurs, make sure to record the server and which mods the server was running so we can track down the problem.

    Next patch changelogs.

    Removed ns2stats.
    - This has a side effect of removing every bug in the game currently and improved performance by doublefold.

    I hate to pick on ns2stats since its such a great mod, but apparently the 'glancing bite on structures' problem that was fixed several builds ago still lives on in ns2stats. I wonder how many long fixed bugs are lingering in the bowels of ns2stats.
