Impressive overall, little pesky bugs

<div class="IPBDescription">To: flayra</div>Hi Flayra and the team,

Wanted to stop by the Adrenaline Zone yesterday, and have all of you sign my CD, spent the time playing NS instead.  Played for about 2 hours, liked being Lerk the most <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Aside from the server util problem, which I am sure after some profiling and optimization will be solved, I came across these bugs:

(1) Pop-up menu bubbles do not disappear (almost every time)
(2) Bile bomb (? Fade's bomb):  when its explosion shakes the viewport, on a couple of occasions the view went completely buckwild, spinning at high speeds without stopping for ~1 minute.
(3) Commander mode: pressing directional keys makes commander mode scroll very quickly and indefinitely in that direction, impossible to keep track of groups of marines.
(4) When someone builds a chamber next to a hive, aliens are able to respawn in close proximity of the chamber and thus be immobilized.
(5) Fade blink.  When DOES it work?  I blinked 2 out of ~250 tries yesterday, without any obstacles in my way.

The mod is supremely impressive, and the maps are beautiful.
Thanks team!

    About the pop-up bubbles not working...  I played for about an hour last night and didn't experience that issue at all.  It may help if we specify what kinds of graphics cards we have...  I have a Radeon 8500, and I set the game to 32-bit color when it asked, and I never have the pop-up refresh problem.  Oh, and I'm running the game in OpenGL.

    I am fairly certain that this is not a graphics card problem.

    I have a spiffed-up Radeon Mobility (Radeon I equivalent), and I am running at 32-bit color.

    The issue was confirmed by a number of other people playing on the same server(s).

    I have that too, and i wan to say that you guys did an excellent job producing this mod, its revolutionairy but when you release something, make sure that its playable. And by playable i mean, no pings of 400 and counting, that just sucks and that ###### me off cause i saw the oppertunitys this game has but i can't play the game like it should due to the invredible lagg but i am sure you guys will fix this, do u know when it will be fixed? And i saw that everyone wants to be a marine(logical) and that ends up in having like 15 marines and 5 aliens. Thats no fun at all for those alien guys but i am pretty sure that will change when everybody is used to the game and they will explore the alien side too. Good job guys!
