Build 178 is unplayable for me.

1. The skulk jaw sometimes goes a blue-ish colour and a few minutes after that the writing goes blotchy and unreadable.

2. Every time I join the marine side my NS2 crashes and I get one of the those report things.


Other than that, erm...

well... Haven't really got to play it <PROPERLY> so I can't give you feedback.

    The only real problem that I've had with the new patch so far is that the ARC pathing is not very good, and needs to be painfully walked every inch of the way. :p

    then maybe wait for one day or two and then open a feedback thread ;-)

    Here is my feedback so far

    Like
    + new fade blink
    + new skulk hitreg
    + phasegates
    + ARC (but I haven't seen one destroying something yet)
    + bloom
    + summit is an official map
    + Last IG lifeform now in readyroom

    Dislike
    - RFK (Improoving the stronger players is imba!!!!!!!!11111111oneone)
    - MACs only aviable in lategame (Im earlygame MAC was very important for smaller games like 3vs3 --- and aliens still have their drifters from start)
    - Gorge selfheal (makes it nearly invulnerable)
    - blinking around fades are pretty hard to kill
    - Imbalanced gameplay (Aliens currently to strong)
    - Marine standart rifle jumps strangely in your hand if you fire it

    Don't care
    * dropable weapons by commander (only necessary for lategamejoiners in public games or so)

    The game is unplayable and I am getting serious bugs that prevent me from playing the game.


    I don't care what your opinion of the build is. I am saying what is happening to my game.

    But next time name your thread "My build xxx feedback." that would be more understandable.

    I dread to ask, but did you de-install and remove the NS2 folders (including the app-data thingy) to do a complete fresh install yet?


    Patch on patch on patch could corrupt

    Where:

    Install -> play could perhaps work...


    I dunno, grasping at straws here :)

    The game also depends vastly on if the server you're on had a decent CPU. If it's got less than a 2Ghz Core2Duo then it will struggle with 18+ players. If it's a listen server even more so.

    Try other servers.

    would you (or anyone) happen to know if listen server player limits work yet?

    Well, that could be the cause of the problem. I recently installed another hard-drive to my computer and made it go as a slave. I had Natural Selection 2 on my primary hard-drive but then I uninstalled it then reinstalled it on the new hard-drive. Maybe the App-data is stored on both hard-drives... I will go and check...

    After I installed it I tried clicking on it and it came up with the update thing that was upating it for me.

    Might as well try out reinstalling it just for the sake of it. I want to play this new build...


    And also, it isn't server based because I tried it out on every server and it didn't work properly...

    Don't know if it was mentioned, but Both commanders support options don't work nearly as well as they need to. Trying to infest as Alien comm is almost a waste of time, it seems to just stop working entirely even with 150+ energy.

    Trying to drop meds and ammo as Marine Commander is just as hit and miss, sometimes they will all land, sometimes none of them.
  • CrakeCrake Join Date: 2010-11-28 Member: 75323Members
    it freezes on startup for me, the window will load, then as the NS2 stuff up the top and the build number appear, it just freezes, with the music still playing, but it just wont respond


    i managed to play it once, for a few minutes, before my internet died, i closed the game and havent been able to open it again since

    is this a known issue, and if so, is there a way to fix it? i tried verifying my gamefile's integrity, just after the first time, i managed to boot it up and play, but it hasnt worked again since

    I definitely had the med/ammo problem too, seems pretty finicky where it will let you drop them.

    Infestation worked great for me, didn't notice any problems except in a very few tight spaces over grating.

    I had the infestation problem. I did find a workaround though. Click on "markers" then hit the back button. It should now work.

    I had a problem in one game where it wouldn't let the aliens build crags. The crag was greyed out and said I needed two hives to build. Aliens had 3 hives, yet still didn't let us build it.

    One thing that bothered me was that I got a sound loop of the drifters being moved repeat over and over for about 20 mins before I finally snapped and had to log.

    Otherwise I had a sweet playtest last night. 7v7. Some lag but that was usually due to it being endgame and the marines turtled in their spawn with 20+ sentries.

    Another bug I got was that I couldnt "hatch" out of an egg. I stayed dead for like 3 minutes wondering what was going on. Once I saw a lot of my teammates die, then spawn before me, I knew something wasnt right.

    playing some more tonight. I think this was a great improvement!

    My frames on average are

    40 in marine spawn *summit*
    40+ other areas.
    25-35 when I am in crevace.

    I run an i5 2.8ghz, 4gb ram, ati5850. At 1920x1080 resolution. My frames should definitely be better but its playable so I dont mind. If they keep increasing FPS with each patch them I'm happy.

    Break down the problem for us. I read all of your above posts and still cant really tell what is the matter.

    Have you done the usual? Re-Frag the game? Veryify integrity? Full uninstall then reinstall?

    Any driver changes? Hardware changes? Try reverting/using your old hard drive and see if it works.

    Need more info than just "HELP!"

    I have a strange new problem with build 178. I have two computers with NS2, both running win7 64bit. One AMD athlon IIx4 620, 2.6 gHz, 6 GB mem,8800GT. (runs 30-35 FPS). The other intel i5 760, 2.8 gHz, 8 GB mem, GTX460, (runs 60+ FPS on most servers). Before build 178 both loaded NS2 pretty fast, with the intel a little faster.
    After 178 the AMD loads in 10-12 seconds. The intel loads to the black screen and freezes until I open up the task mgr. and close it out (no other operations), and then the menu screen pops up. After its running everything is great. I’m happy with the improvements. I’m pragmatic about the existing bugs. BTW if a mac leaves the map and you can find it in the cosmos you can save it by using the stop command and give it a waypoint to marine start.

    hey thanks, that helped me actually play. I was having the same problem on my intel 64bit computer.

    The game crashes on close though, and i get a prompt to send an error report.

    I managed to fix my problem. For some reason all of the graphics settings went weird and for some reason my computer can't handle the lowest graphic setting or the highest graphic setting so I am stuck with medium.

    No idea why. But if you get unusual graphic glitches then just change the quality setting.
