Sometimes when I try to buy a weapon I cant, it just makes a sound and closes the window, even when I have the correct resources to buy the gun and its lit up blue.
As well, sometimes the chat doesn't even work. When I type a message it doesn't even go through (team and general).
I'm trying a re-install and hopefully it fixes this issue....

Yea I did a fresh complete uninstall..
As promised heres a link to the bug I am referring to.. also that chat bug is there as well...
couldnt upload on youtube, man their upload times are terrible!
As to the bug, can you use the keyboard to buy things in the armory (not sure if this is actually possible).
Ok I have found the folder location with all the keybinds, I guess its a hidden folder. Im deleting those files and well see if it fixes the issues.
This is located in: %AppData%/Natural Selection 2/options.xml
Heres the log file you requested:
I tried everything, its still bugged including the game chat... sigh wth.....
Oh and by the data below, I first joined a random server, which black-screened so I used the console to disconnect and try a different server, which worked and didn't black-screen.... but still had the chat and buy menu bug...
This is so frustrating!!!!!! Another bug i.e. black screen. Bugs left and right in this game I tell you!!
So... now can someone explain to me why playing online has these bugs?
the second server was running:
'Shine Administration'
'Custom Spawns + Spectator Lights'
'Player Badges'
'NS2Stats'
'KahunaGames Welcome Message'
Something about one of those mods and your config is breaking things. The problem becomes pretty hard from there. I would basically try to avoid the KKG server group and see if you can find a server that isn't broken for you.
Does that help?
This game has so much potential....ugh this bug!~
its not a mod issue, its NS2. Just played a mod free server, bug was there.
Im going to try a computer reformat, hopefully a fresh OS and Install fixes the issue.
Try joining UWE official servers and see if you have the same problem.
Does starting your own server with ns2stats active reproduce it for you?
What mouse/drivers are you using?
Are you using Raw input?
Thanks
My mouse buttons are default so no keybinds on anything other than L/R click.
Starting my own server does not reproduce the issue.
Not sure about my mouse drivers, but they work fine in ever other game.
Not sure what you mean by Raw input which means im probably not using raw input.
Here's some more proof this time on the alien side as well:
Very weird bug indeed, anyways cheers! Be seeing you ingame!
Pretty sure this means a registry file of some sort that had to do with the mods/game was corrupt maybe?
See you in game!
I really don't understand, I didn't do anything.... I just played for 1-2 days, then I ran into a map bug. Basically the ingame map went all crazy and some goo got stuck on my screen and wouldn't go away ( was playing aliens), I decided to stop playing for a bit and then when I tried again later today the bug was back.... I really wish the dev's could help me with this issue. Im pretty sure at this point it is an issue with the game.
Also I dont know if this has anything to do with the game being bugged or not, but whenever I re-download it the shortcut for NS2 is missing a logo, it just appears as a white box.
I contacted the Dev team, hopefully they will let us know what the problem could be...
Maybe it's a issue with the way the mods are installed on the computer. I belive most mods are installed on the ns2 inside the appdata folder of windows, and that maybe causing some issues. Try running the game in administrator mode or turn off widows UAC. Maybe windows is blocking writing/reading from that folder.
Make sure your antivirus isn't blocking access to that folder also.
Just an idea.
One of the first things I did to diagnose the issue, it didnt work which is the reason why I reformatted my computer.
Hmm, good idea.
While playing today I noticed a couple of additional bugs, when I switched to a fade my map stopped working, as well the text got distored as seen in the background. I couldnt chat with teammates for the duration. However as soon as I died and went back to sulk everything went back to normal:
You may have corrupted RAM or harddrive.
I feel you might have a Windows "iNode" defective. When uninstalling/reinstalling, was it always "in a row" ? (i.e. uninstall then reinstall ?) If so the same location on your HD might get taken once again (I've no idea how the file system in Windows works). Let's say you have 50 go free; then try uninstalling NS2, copy-pasting a lot of small files for ~7-14 go, then reinstall NS2.
And could you have installed NS2 at the same approximative time before formating and after formating ? (i.e. did you format before the initial NS2 installation)
But I also feel your HD or RAM is the problem (rather than a part of it), since you completely formated and played for a while with no errors (a part of HD/RAM can become corrupt thought).
Just trying to think out of the box there. I might be totally offtrack (but formatting not helping makes me think it is material).
Error: 40 memory leaks in 'Client' (15568 bytes)
Error: 40 memory leaks in 'Engine' (15568 bytes)
As well I have included an additional screenshot of this bug. I will be running memtest right now, I doubt this is a hardware issue...... My computer is only a year old and I made sure to check the PC for deficiencies when I assembled it...
Besides... I have virtually no issues running any other application on my computer.... only NS2....
Im guessing that the game was trying to show me hints for the Fade but it was bugging out..
