    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->For launch, we partnered with Multiplay to provide a strong back-bone of official server capacity. They have been extremely professional and were able to meet our requirements on almost every continent on the planet. Unfortunately at launch, we did not provide them with perfectly accurate information.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    You forgot to tell them the part about each NS2 Server requiring at least one 4GHz+ Core to run 12-16 Slots properly, didn't you? <img src="http://naturalselection.de/images/smilies/ednk/icon_rolleyes.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    "woopsie" indeed.

    You know, if you guys just released the linux server files, there would be at least one more server to help out :P

    I was hoping for that too until I read about the server requirements. Unfortunately I don't have any 4.4 GHz servers handy, Linux or otherwise :P

    Some data analysis suggestions for the winrate graph.

    bucket the rounds by log(round length), and compute win/loss stats for each. This will tell you (for instance) if marines win early base rushes while aliens win late game slogs, or vice versa.

    great reviews, they are all saying almost everything positive.

    again congrats, the release went smoother than anyone could have expected even 4 months ago. kudos, and the game is definitely worth at least double the selling price, hell i would have paid 100$ for it. had 800+ hours in the alpha/beta. here's to 800+ more!

    if this was an EA/dice game we'd only be getting this bug fix with a $14.99 DLC lol

    good job guys though i still wouldnt rely on win:loss pie chart to balance the game.

    Umm.... my NS2 just updated and there are no servers with the new update running.... you should probably figure a way to update your servers as games come to an end....
  • maD maXmaD maX Join Date: 2010-01-28 Member: 70347Members
    Umm.... wow, server browser is wayt more responsive, and fully populated now. earlyier my FPS would drop from 70fps to 6 fps when it was refreshing (lol in game i didint drop bellow 40fps) but now server browser is fast and has no effect on FPS....

    Still needs a few small details like

    -server info so we could right click a server and see who is playing, game time, and the like (could do it in NS1 i think)
    -Favorite Filter so i can chose my favorite servers and ignor the rest

    I have two servers running and I notice a big drop in memory usage. Both are full and 20 players each and memory usage is almost half of what it was yesterday. But this box has no memory issues anyways, it is running 16GB :-)

    Thanks very much to UWE, Playtesters and everyone who pre-purchased this game back almost 2 years ago. It has come a long way baby!!

    can we get some statistics on marine/alien win/loss ratio on specific maps, as I think there are 1 or 2 maps that are biased towards marine or alien.

    I've played during the first 2 hours after launch and didn't experience any problems!
    admittedly, the first time I connected to a server I got a black screen but after quiting through the console and restarting, everything worked ok.

    before the launch I had once problems with the loading because I had a long time not updated through steam. Deleting some dir in my windows profile and revalidating the game through steam resolved the problem..
