    Works for me. Still rough around the edges, but I haven't seen any 152 servers pop up yet to test the WAN play.

    Same here. If I sit in the ready room for several minutes, I can move for about 1.5 seconds. Rinse and repeat. I was able to make a 90 degree left facing, and with a second spurt of move, look down. That was it, no ability to type, join, move etc.

    Latest twitter.
    "Oops, make that Build152, not Build 153. :) We're WORKING on 153 now..."

    ;)


    For the ones with problems, try to do the normal stuff to quick fix:
    1.- close steam and start it again
    2.- delete all content and re-download (extreme measure)

    Just played for about 15 minutes. It is still very laggy most likely from networking. I started out with an 80 ping and as more people joined it turned into 250 ping for everyone. I was the only one killing things. I think a lot of people were completely frozen.

    Here are my specs.
    i7 920 @ 3.75GHz
    6GB DDR3 1600mhz corsair dominator
    2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 285

    Same, unfortunately can't move and need to alt+f4 to quit the game.

    You don't need to alt-f4, you can just go to the console and type "disconnect"

    seems like another netcode bug. The clientside seems to be working fine, but servers are getting DDoS'd by all the connection attempts or something maybe. Maybe dedicated server problem. Guess we'll see.

    Are these servers updated to 152? Would it even work connecting with different client/server builds?

    I played for 10 minutes during lunch and it was a little better but still very laggy and not really playable. I'll try some more exhaustive tweaks later tonight.

    And wow Skulks are extremely slow now, it felt like marine speed. I hope that wasn't just to make it easier to shoot them through the lag...

    Whenever I join a server it just sits there. The scene is rendered, but I can't communicate with the chat and I can't move or look around. I can get into the console no problem without any delay, so its not a cpu hang, but the world just doesn't update and its as if its waiting for info and is just still until then.

    2 minutes later, I can move for about 5 seconds and then it does the freeze again. I can see new player models added to the scene but I still can't look around or move or use the chat. The player notifications, the "new player is known as blah" pop up as normal, and once in a while the popup telling me to join j1 or j2 or rr pops up with sound, but nothing else.

    I can't even hit escape to see the menu. To quit I can go to the console and type "quit" no problem though. Seems really strange.

    Are we not duplicating the testing conditions? What element is it thats preventing us from getting anywhere near what you guys seem to be seeing?

    Probably all the sh!t they remove when making a public build. But then again, they TEST the public builds so who knows...
