I truly hope they can fix these bugs and get performance gains soon. These are the things that turn people off great games.
Got the opportunity to play quite a bit last night (I'd played during the Beta a bit, but that was before they'd fixed a lot) and really enjoyed what I played! I still think the NS community is one of the best gaming communities on the planet.
This is a silly question, but nobody on GAF here ever played the original NS on the "TeamHoward" server did they? We hosted a server for a long time, and had quite an awesome group of players.

No. It is meant to be a permanent upgrade. It has the trade off of no longer being able to do marine things.
Just had a 61 minute game as khammander. Lost after about 25 minutes but the marines were incompetent imo.
Oldass gamers Mr. P server is great. I recommend we gaffers hand there (euro gaffers that is!).
Was playing on the OAG server earlier tonight, it is indeed very good.
Had some great games tonight as Kharrmander, this game is just so much fun. Joined one deadlocked with Exos and Onos at over 70 minutes. So I jumped in the comm chair and they kept killing one hive and we'd rotate round to another. They'd swing round the other side and we'd take back the one we just lost. Then, after some faffing, I dropped both hives at the same time and built a forward bases. While the rines went for one of the hives we pushed in their front door with a couple of Onos'. While they double backed and dealt with the Onos' I dropped a load of cysts and whips.
By the time the Onos were down the whips had matured and proceeded to take out the power node and then wreak havok on what remained. It was glorious.

Picked it up. Downloading now. Time to see if it will run on my nonwork computer. My body is ready.

Onos OP lol.
Exos are OP.
an Ono soloed 3 exos in one of my game in a 1v3. It was ridiculous.
Fun game. The game just runs really trashy.
GAF has terrible taste in games. The majority of this forum is always going on about how big budget games are taking over the industry and then spend all their time playing them.
an example of a good round for those who are still on the fence
yeah, this. Have been feeling a bit dissapointed by that lately. "MID-TIER GAMES ARE DYING!! FUCKING PUBLISHERS!!" *a mid-tier game comes out - everybody plays AssCreed 43*

Got another copy for $18 if anyone's still lookin

but yet I've seen an onos took down by 2 normal marines. I got a score of 70 kills and 6 deaths using nothing but a jetpack and shotgun, I seen several onos die & not one got me.
I've always although natural selection must be the hardest game to balance, because a single good alien can completely destroy the marine team - but most people aren't very good at playing alien.
But personally I think the fade needs buffed

What are your settings and what are your system specs?

I kind of like the fade where he is. Such a fantastic hit-and-run unit, and so fun to play. Incredibly weak versus exosuits though, i'd rather be a skulk in that situation.

tell them what to do and be polite about it. That is what NS is all about! Its community is the game as much as the game is itself.
I've gotten a few of those. They always seem to want to build turrets before anything else, despite them being almost useless. Luckily those games tend to end really quick anyway, and it's quite a feat that I have yet to hear any super-negative comments toward the noobs.
I try to, it's surprisingly hard to convey that info without a mic though, and a lot of the time they don't seem to respond to suggestions.

Mic costs 5 bucks!
Are you euro or north america?
Yep, definitely going to get one. I'm also in Australia.

Hey! I'm up for that. But I want to give something in return though. Do you want/need a DOTA 2 invite?
yeah, I'd love to. PM me.

AO and bloom are turned off, everything on/high.
Nope. Have been playing as marine >50% of the time, and still unsure of what I'm suppose to do. Some of this may be bad commanders, but I dunno.
Are you playing on servers with a low ping?
I know during the beta framerate was linked in some way to your ping (something to do with how the game updates), so if you played across the pond it could be quite painful.
Also check VSync, tearing > low framerate.
Ya I was playing on a low ping server. Models were skipping everywhere in this one server. And I always turn vsync off in any fps game.
I always get 40-30 fps in high infestation and big fights. Really annoying.

That system should be having a much better time with this. I am running 470 SLI with an i7 at 4.2 Ghz and I basically coast at 60-80 wit the worst at about 50fps when it goes to shit. that is with everything ON. Do you have texture streaming on or off?
Join up on a good serious server. Namely any of the clan servers depending upon your continent

Just Created a Steam Group for us all. I need to set it up but I think I got it right... Post your Steam infos to get invite please!

RPS put up a nice article about the development of this game. I have to admit development was pretty rough, game-breaking imbalances (like the early flemthrower) were in pretty much every build until the final months, and the performance was beyond horrible. I'm really happy things turned out for the better.

Turn Texture Streaming On. Make sure multicore rendering is on. Create a profile for the game in NVCP and make sure prefer performance, single display, and threaded optimization are set to override ON. There are a couple other tweaks.
What I would recommend is just opening up the game and turning on and off settings and recording your FPS on a listen server to check out what is affecting your performance the most. I imagine atmospheric and AO are the hardest hitters next to shadows (these are necessary though). Bloom should not be a big deal.

So I'm trying to get an idea of what this game is. I've watched a few videos and what I have pieced together is that it's an RTS except you play as the aliens/soldiers being in the combat as more of an FPS. I think you take over points called reactors which you help your team progress closer and closer to the enemy base. I've also noticed that you can build structures like turrets, teleports, and generators, but it seems like a waypoint shows you where to start building them. So generators can only be build at specifc spots on the map which then allow you to build pre-designated turrets around it?
That's all I have gathered so far, and it looks pretty interesting. I'm not usually one for RTS games, but I think I could get behind this. I'll have to see if it goes on sale around the Steam Holiday sales.
