    I don't think you can "donate" as such, but you could always buy more copies and use them for whatever?

    great job it make people less streess when dev talk about curent probleme, cause in the alpha dev take few day for post 3 line en tweeter and say, "we know for truble we wroking on it"

    now we have a clear advice on what coder think about this lag probleme and we know than the "fix" is near, and i hope, cause lag probleme is since begining, no true game at more than 3v3 and game cannot be realy test untill 5v5.

    so we realy hope next week we can for first time have start to try strategy in 5v5 6v6 standar number for a futur esport status and check bug and balance gameplay.

    great work on this beta status and on 155 build

    big problems for me. First every 200 hundred times i try to connect to the server it only really lets me join once so it takes hours just to connect to one game and 2nd the game only displays properly on my much smaller monitor and when i try to play it on my big one it gets all staticy (to the point were i cant see anything at all)like im on a tv flipped to a channel without cable

    Good post Max, a long time since your last ! Hopefully we get that patch on monday and you guys can take a nap for some days !

    I have to say I'm pretty impressed, the last two patches have been pretty good and I managed to have a couple of good games before servers crashed.

    Don't die from to much work though Max, we are all screwed then.

    Keep up the good work!

    Monday? BUT I WANT IT NOW! *stomps feet*

    Naw just kidding, good news though. I've only had 2 actually playable games out of about 30.

    You are THE man Max! *goes off to construct Maximum Max Altar*

    I don't care if forum folks get annoyed/mad/whatever for me saying this, but IMO Max you should take the time off RIGHT NOW. I REALLY want to see NS2 come to its full potential, but not at the cost of Max's health. Hell no!

    Flayra, give Max a solid week off! Hell all of UWE needs a solid week away from their computers. Seriously, this is a glorious and wonderful game, but in the final analysis it's just a game and not worth sacrificing one's health just to see it done.


    Now with that out of the way, I'm off to buy 5 more gift-copies of NS2.

    Okay...so i thought about it and you guys need lots of turkey so you will have two new NS2 Players complaining. Happy Turkey Day!

    Nice, today I used the net_stats and saw the same thing Max is saying.
    I saw the Tick at 24 fps and slowly moving down, the in and out data sent was extremely low so I figured out that the problem was in there.

    Great work guys. Keep on that. And after monday release, check if everything works better and get the hell out of the office until next day. And if something is wrong, get the hell out and come back next day more relaxed.

    Great informative post, Max! Please make sure to take care of yourselves as you push towards these major milestones; I know when I'm working on something I'm passionate about I tend to forget about time and food! The amount of work that has been done on the engine and game in the last three months is monolithic in size. We all tip our hats to the team and hope you guys truly enjoy the holiday break with your families! *gobble, gobble*

    That being said, I think there is a very loud voice being heard on the forums to allow us to donate to the development further than a single pre-order. We all implore UWE to allow us to show our appreciation for the dedication and committment you guys exemplify day in, day out by bringing back a Constellation-like system. Most of us enjoyed NS1 for years and you guys are crafting a game that many of us will remember for the rest our lives!

    cheers!

    The game's running much better on this build than the last one, besides form the server crash of course.
    One doubt though, the article mentioned "If you are still having this problem in Build 156" Im currently on build 155 according to the game's menu, am I missing something or are you referring to the next build that's going to be released?

    woot! Happy for the fixes and comfortable time of updating. Thanks UWE.

    And I'm saying this having bought 7 copies, plus my own SE copy, (so far) of the game. I understand the struggle that indie studios have and I want to ensure UWE get's all the funding and support they need.
