    I see no mention for a fix of the GL damaging yourself at long range bug. Did this fix not make it in the build?

    Wonder how long it will take Chris to come up with a reason to complain about this one.

    At this rate, NS2 1.0 will be released at around Build 200. Great job, unexpected ninja builds are always unexpected. Looks like Max and Flayra pulled an All-Nighter for this one.

    Great, quick patch (again).

    Drifters respond very well. However, I've noticed that sometimes they move ultra-fast if you double click an area for them to move.

    Another annoyance is the stickiness of research upgrades at structures. Sometimes you must click 2-3 times before you can research upgrades. Other times you must get out of the hive / comm chair entirely in order to click them.

    A final comment.. it's often difficult to place the first cyst out from a hive because the hive cyst build radius does not always display. Once you get the first cyst created, it's easy to expand the chain, and this does not happen.

    Macs seem to move ultra fast again.
    Skulk ragdolls are being pulled onto walls and surfaces.
    And the skulk can't fit through the vent opening closest to north side of surface access. And I can't fit through the vent coming from the hallway north of surface access to the hallway next to alien start as a gorge.

    My performance has improved some. And I'm glad to see marines using gl's more. Although it seems the lerk is weaker than he was before his armor damage removal.

    Good patch overall. Very playable.

    Awesome stuff, i'm glad you guys fixed the GL and phase gate/swimming marine issue. Good stuff Dev team. Just played a game and most stuff felt pretty good, lerks are even dying (wow!) lol.

    Don't be an arse.

    I see they've finally gotten around to let the query-responder output proper information, would still like a way to turn it off and replace it with a custom one though...

    Seems much much smoother now. I'm getting better FPS and the tickrate seems stable up until the late game. Great patch :)

    This is probably because he's easier to hit now, especially head-on where his wing-span gives a fairly large target

    It seems the fade can hit while blinking. To be more precise its while "getting out of blinking", but when you get hit the fade is still invisible and appears after you got hit.. if the fade "blink hit blink hit" very fast, you are dead without even seeing it.

    It happens to me multiple time since this update.

    I noticed that about the fade as well. I swear I've even been pulled out of the ether by a flamethrower a couple times. I assumed it was just something to do with poor performance/lag. Haven't played since 180, though. I was in disneyworld for 181-now

    Sometimes I see the fade in flight while blinking as marine. I don't think I'm supposed to be able to see that.

    One bug that's been in for a while: When you evolve as aliens after having armour upgrades, your armour decreases to the original amount before upgrades and you need to heal to get back to full. Happens when evolving upgrades as well as changing from one lifeform to another.

    I posted it on getsatisfaction a while ago, but it might have gone unnoticed.

    And with the removal of armor damage from spores. Marines cruise straight through spore clouds as the commander can keep his units in pristine condition with medkits during battle.
