Dropship Update (263) Released - Natural Selection 2
Natural Selection 2 Build 263 has been released, and we’re calling it Dropship. This update adds a feature that Natural Selection 2 has deserved for a long time: Organised play. It also fixes a host of annoying issues, adds World Championship emblems, and includes lots of new small features that make play more enjoyable for all. The update is the culmination of a collaboration between community volunteers, the World Championship organisers, and us here at Unknown Worlds. It is a big one! Since the dawn of time, the only way to join a game in Natural Selection 2 was via the server browser. Outside the game, there were some options: Steam friends, or ENSL.org’s ‘gather system.’ That was fine …

Not at all... But it's only been a few minutes, give me a chance
Anyways so onto the major bugs:
Server no longer reports connected players. In hlsw for example all plaeyrs will show up as unknown regardless of if they are in game or still loading. Right clicking on the server in the browser will not display any users connected to the server despite the player count reflecting that there are.
That's because they are most likely on a different build than you are.
Half the time while waiting in the gather room, you get kicked out of the gather, or kicked to the main screen with "Incorrect Password" error.
These are errors all of us at the Reddit PUG community are experiencing.
bought the championship pack, thought id support the cause seem i missed the badge
Not sure why this didn't get added in the changelog, but here are the changes to eclipse:
-Expanded Core Access hallway to be larger and more favorable for aliens facing arcs from the bottom corner
-expanded the archways in generator monitor for more space (replaced the doorway model with simple geometry)
-removed crates in core access, south loop, generator monitors, and east foyer
-Adjusted the layout of crates in Comp Core
-replaced false doorway in conduit, to be less confusing
The changes are minimal, and I could have removed more crates, but ill evaluate these changes to see if they make an impact on balance.
Awesome update. Thank You UWE!
Thanks Jona, I'll add this ASAP.
Please support the Steam server browser someday. There are some amazing quality of life improvements in this build, but supporting the Steam server browser would really make it easier to hop in and play.
Unfortunately, no.
Also still no update on the server mail list. I feel bad for the server operators that do not have messenger monkeys that watch the UWE site 24/7 to inform them of updates vs an e-mail that they can configure their phones to sound an alarm and wake up ect to update their servers.
- Great update, this was what i waited for all this time...
Running Fullscreen Windowed.
This happened previously with one of the past builds as well.
This is great most of the time, but I often comm while playing with friends I have on skype or whatever. I mute them ingame to not hear them twice, but would like to still get their menu requests.
