<div class="IPBDescription">So whens next patch?</div> Hi, like i said in the topic and the desc- whens the next patch come out (server side even) for NS?

Im competition organiser for a Large LAN in Melbourne, Australia (as large as they get down here, average ~400, were holding a 1000 player one in JAN> <a href='http://www.bigdayin.com' target='_blank'>http://www.bigdayin.com</a> ) and our next event is only 2 weeks away and ive been given a pile of GF4 Ti4600's (6) to give away as prizes (thats also a lot of prizes for down here <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ).
Personally i love the game and want to give em to NS but its just a tad to unrefined at the moment (mainly getting stuck issue, and bug exploits) and was wondering if the next server/client patch will be out within 2 weeks so i can boost this game's rep in Australia.

Thanks!

    I help out with www.3fl.net over here in WA and were in the same situation as you.

    Currently can only afford to run 1 x 12 player server since this server does not share server resources well. Great game, possibly best HL mod ever at least, yet the fanbase will quickly go if the situation doesn't improve.

    Thats not knocking the NS team, know full well you guys are doing your utmost to get the server issues fixed - but if they don't happen shortly I think you will have missed your niche'.

    I'm sure they are fully aware of the severity of the cpu usage issue and bugs in determining the popularity of the mod. The mod is only a few weeks old and there has been a few patches that helped tremendously with various issues. Flayra is working on 1.03 now and hopefully beta testing it.

    Hey Piccilo,

    Sounds fantastic. Most of the big exploits and bugs will be fixed in v1.03, which is about to enter testing. Some of the getting stuck issues will probably require a client patch as well, which won't be a few more weeks at least. All the current big exploits and many bugs will be fixed in v1.03 though, hopefully that will be good enough for you.

    Let me know what's holding you up and I'll see what I can do.

    Flayra- your a champion! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    well a client side release fully untested could be ugly- but a server side 1.03 patch would be of enourmous benfit.
    ill give it another week n half or so, in hope that you release it- otherwise ill come harass you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    i ended up giving the 4600's to a diff comp- but ive just been given a pile of audigy 2's(6) and nomad mp3 players (6) so i think ill use them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Good luck with the testing and keep up the great work!

    also been meaning to ask- will 1.03 have marine vs marine and alien vs alien? or do we have to wait for NS 2.00?

    They are CONSIDERING it for 2.0 at last word.
    This doesn't mean we'll see it for 2.0, but it definetly won't come before that. They'd need new/modified maps on top of the programming and artwork changes. (to distinguish teams)

    interesting but I think the alien vs marine theme is one of the major things that sets it appart from the CS clones. Of course it would still have the RTS aspect *shrug*

    Is anyone excited about Marine vs Marine or Alien vs Alien ?

    From a pure strategy viewpoint, the idea of marine vs marine and alien vs alien gives me tingles of pleasure <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> I just can't wait to see what new tactics and counter-tactics we'll see in games like that. I really do feel they'll be completely different from marine vs alien.

    Skulk vs skulk... mmm that'll be fun.

    i think itll rock too- it would so easier to make rules for a comp with it as well- ppl can just choose which race they prefer...
