I too am having large fps problems whenever i attempt to engage marines as alien. I drop to 5fps from 80ish, and experience microstutter throughout the rest of my gameplay.
PSA FOR ALL THE PSAS: if you are having mouse issues, toggle both your raw input and mouse acceleration settings, applying the settings after each toggle, it would resolve them. It did for me.
Minor issue: spawned inside a command chair like structure in Turbine at the start of the game. I could move around a little in the confined space but that was all, there was no way out. I was not the commander nor was I in the chair before the game started. The person that was in the real command chair was just functioning fine.
I am gunna miss NS2. Since the update I can no longer play NS2 for longer then 10 mins with out it crashing. After investing hundreds of hours into a game I love so much, today It has become unplayable for me. What ever you did UWE, what ever it was, please fix it and sort it out!!!! I am literally lost with out it. I dont know what to do.
This is a quote from a diffrent thread. as you can see, this pretty much sums up my feelings of the update. Really, what did you guys do to make it so game breaking for me?

You might want to give them some more information, so they can actually answer your question .

Well the crashes happen randomly, somewhere between 5-10 mins. I cant say much more than that.
My computer specs are:
Processer ADM Phenom(tm) II x4 960T 3.00 GHz
4.00 GB RAM 32 bit (OS - windows 7)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti
Biodome is pretty. Laggy menus. Alien upgrade path is a little less confusing then the first iteration of biomass, but still feels unintuitive.
Still needs separate sensitivies for alien and marine. I wouldn't have come back to try this new NS2 build after all these months if I hadn't recently purchased a mouse with a DPI switch. (Fireglider is awesome).
Edit: The changes to jetpack jump, exo eject and ESP. fade vortex and onos bone shield are all good things I like berry much.
i think 253 gona be good, at least for commanding that usually i plays. With my old pc amd x2 4600 and nvidia gts250 , i could before 252 kill some rines with skuls, after , i barelly kill one.
Have random crash to desktop more than before 252(i think is about a fail memory module), servers seems have increase lags, and feels mouse a bit more tough, but i think the new stuff is kinda good. Sure in future they will fix all those problems.
Also have more fails about u game files doesnt match with server ones, than before 252 that i dont know what is about, more consistency check fails also.
greets for the update btw, though i still disliking new AV coz cant kill rines like before ;-)

If you feel like you're having client FPS stuttering try using D3D11 instead of D3D9. The client should be defaulting to D3D11 for users capable of running it but may not have switched in all cases. A better solution is in the works (it was working but we had a crash, and crashes are generally considered worse than stuttering ).
Love the fact so much work has gone into this latest patch however i am worried about how over powered the aliens keep getting, fade was aready over kill yet now it has the ability to teleport away and has a new super powerful swipe?
The lurk was also pretty powerful, now with 3x increased bite, it's more powerful than the skulk, i can just see alien teams full of lurks and fades raping the marines.
Any word on what this means from the Reinforced announcement post?:
You might have noticed a trend in updates to NS2: They are all free. This begs the question – How will Unknown Worlds keep making these updates? How can NS2 continue to be developed if Unknown Worlds can’t pay to keep Max in his coding cage? On August 30, we will answer that question.
We're just putting the finishing touches on the answer to that, so you'll find out very soon.
So, this is probably either 1) becoming f2p or 2) getting microtransactions.
Call me conservative, but either way, I am not happy with it.

I'd guess microtransactions for purely visual things, i.e paying $$$ for "female" alien skins or something along that line. I'm ok with it as long as it has ZERO impact on gameplay.
Although, I hope they prove me wrong and announce their next title.

My fade just died to 2 marines with LMG's and hardly any upgrades

thanks
uh.. there is 'something' but I don't know if I'd have to get approval to say anything, ask rant though
unfortunately, i think that was the quick fix.
But fps aren't to high as well, so there might be something else.
I hope Charlie dropped some catalyst packs.

About halfway through the video I was already going like IS IT NEVER GOING TO END?
SO MANY CHANGES. BIG ONES TOO. Holy poop. Just holy poop.
Damn. Nice job UWE, no matter how it pans out. Didn't really expect that much stuff.
whoever thought these were needed changes, I hope you step on lego. Yeah I went there.

We shall see.
