    Okay, let me start of with some praise. I really love the new Power Nodes. I cannot say how fond I will be of the balance changes, since it's too early to comment on those yet, but I feel like I will be flashing a lot of Lerks in the near future.
    But I must say I am still very unhappy with the Web rework. To me this pretty much comes down to basically removing Web from the game. I don't like the limited uses, I hate the loss of parasite and I am annoyed by (yet understand) the change in placement.

    Also the Tooltip for consuming Tunnel Entrances is still not fixed and I don't feel that the old (and still current) Tooltip for Vampirism befits the current effect of the ability. But those are just minor blemishes that, at worst, mostly effect inexperienced Players and newcommers.

    Haven't tried the patch yet, so no opinion on limited uses, but parasite for webs while a big nerf shouldn't have been added in the first place. Maybe if there was a research cost to it, but it was overbuffed like mines and had to come back down. Anyway, feedback goes to discord. Its in the news post and everything.

    Am I the only one who can't run the game anymore after this patch? I downloaded the update but when I run NS2 the launch screen freezes after a few seconds and nothing happens. Before this I had another problem which is that the game appeared uninstalled in my steam library even though I could launch it through the exe file but I think that is unrelated anyway, since after clicking 'install' it got fixed. I verified the integrity of the files but nothing changed.

    While you're at it, maybe change the typo in "entrace" aka entrance too. :wink:

    @anonimitazo
    Try running repairgame.exe first
    If that doesnt fix it, please run techsupport.exe located in the same /x64 folder and then send me that zip file if you can.

    Interesting to read about the one frame delay for input! How was that discovered!? Great to see you guys are still working hard and updating the game. Miss all of you!!

    You bloody did it! I never thought I'd see the day that mouse input lag be removed. Good job.

    Crashed twice tonight on 332. I never crashed last patch, ever.
  • WebtranceWebtrance US Join Date: 2013-11-08 Member: 189165Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    Crashed again like 3 times tonight, at least once/game. Did a full dump, did the repair.exe, don't know what to do...oh well...

    The new fade stab has issues: stab does not work with vampirism , stab does not work with focus. I suggest making those 2 upgrades fully work with stab so people actually are interested in researching and using stab.

    Its intended to help res bite and clear PGs. It's supposed to put pressure on marines to not let aliens sit on 2 hives
