    TY for the hotfix! Spontaneous black screen kind sucks mid leap. ;)

    I'm confused why the patch notes says one thing, but the Progress page shows another. A few undocumented bug/fixes perhaps?

    I for one would like to say thank you to the Devs for being so dedicated to releasing quick patches, and fixes to patches within a day after a patch has been released.

    There are very few if at all any other beta's i have played where patches come out that fast.

    "First-person flamethrower effects and on-fire flamethrower effects (today, not yesterday)"

    Wait what? Can we now see when on fire or looking at the flamer? I honestly don't get this sentence :D

    I'm guessing they mean it wasn't included in build 157 by mistake.

    Which is why everyone was saying its still the same.

    Great work UWE on another lightning patch.

    Any chance you could let us know about where the patches are going and what you see as a priority next?

    Is there any hope of address the lag with turrets and hydra? can we just remove the ability to place them? servers are fine without them and then some ###### places down 2 and the entire servers take a ######. Would be nice to remove it until the netcode for it is more solid.

    Building another armoury gets round it (cumbersome but keeps you in the game you've already spent 20 minutes in).

    Damn Corners how do they work!

    Well yes, the time Wolf started to make Hydra spam it crashed for me.. :D
    But was nice to see some 32 lagplay in NS2 - Gased the heck out of the rines.

    Most people got about 20-35 FPS, ping was good, too. Engine still lags furiously.

    The net code should be the most important thing on the to do list. If we can not play online with out lag spikes and FPS issues its no fun, no matter how great the gameplay. I have faith in you guys! Keep up the work!

    It is a BETA. Keeping them in will help unknown worlds work out the issue and fix.

    Stresstest server just wont die, even with loads upon loads of hydra/turret spam :D
