imageBuild 247 is now live on Steam! - Natural Selection 2

The two main new features in 247 are the in-game vote system and some very basic training bots. The former should improve the ability of players to manage their play experience, and the latter will bring on our doom at the hands of Skynet.

    Bump to open comment thread. Enjoy Build 247 everyone! Remember, it is ten pushups every time you get killed by one of Steve's bots!

    Quick weapon swap! Finally! Wow!

    There should be options to join, autojoin, refresh, close, sort by player name, playtime, points in the server info window.

    It would also be nice to have the server browser remember that you only want to see your favorites. It was working like that before, now I have to change the filter option every single time I open it because it resets to 'All'. Why make things more "complicated"? :P

    Obviously that is when you get your Delorean, go back to a random time and tap someone on the shoulder. And before he looks over his shoulder to blame you, you're already on your way back to the future and he blames the guy next to him.


    There is a theory which says, this is how wars start...

    Terrible lag towards end of game on official UW server...I think it was #21 europe. Playing mineshaft, everyone was getting 999 ping.

    like the new server browser.

    BT mod still shows in the unmodded ns2 menu (due to the name. how about making live ns "ns2" instead "begin with ns2"

    Files dont match. I've deleted and redownloaded multiple times. Deleted all the files in my docs, reinstalled steam and I still get this message when I try joining a server.

    anyone getting 'engine is in a state from which it cannot recover' errors on startup? I get it every time. tried deleting cache with no luck.
  • meat_meat_ Join Date: 2013-02-04 Member: 182821Members
    +1 for what Douchebagatron said, black screen and then that error upon launch of game from steam.

    I get that if I minimize the game for a period

    This is because the server is on the old build of ns2. Try tomorrow, server admins have a life too :p

    The bots are quite hilarious, the first round I tried the entire alien team was biting a blue power node the entire round. I wondered where the hell they all were..

    Wohoo at Veil and Descent changes! A lot of the stuff from Veil was in the NSL version already, right?

    Disable mods. A old mod is reverting your game version.
