Why is there no ns version 2.0 to 3.0 update, just a full 3.0 update??
Or is there? :S

    because there were so many changes from ns 2.0 to 3.0 there might as well be a full install

    How much more discspace will ns 3.0 take compared to 2.0 (Installed I mean) ?

    It's about the same, but so many individual files (wads and .bsps) were changed that it would end up being only ~20 megs smaller if it was a "patch". Plus there's the time making sure the patch works in every conceivable way (a good day and a half was spent on that alone, heh).

    Also, to anyone completely new to the game, it's easier to just have a full patch they can't fubar and only one download location. People are dumb.

    Hi Ozzie,

    On my computer it takes exactly 299 MB's (That's must be a bit more then the custom install, because I have uploaded some other maps too).

    I don't know if that is more or (even) less then 2.0?

    Hope this helped you.

    Greetz,

    Some megs more than 2.01 because of all the added new maps (combat) sounds, models etc.

    That's the installer, not how much space it takes up once installed.

    You mean I gotta redownload ANOTHER ns version or what after ns v3.0 came out??......


    anyway some of my thoughts for future ns's,might help save everyone ALOT of time or try to:

    1.When you open STEAM>Play games>Natural Selection just maybe have STEAM automatically somehow download and install any version/patch needed etc. or whatever.

    2.when yer playing in game and ya have alot of nice upgrades n stuff and for some reason i don't know why accidently press F4 and goto readyroom n lose yer upgrades and maybe when you rejoin whatever team ya still have yer upgrades and whatever score you had while u were playing.

    1) This would happen if NS was added to the "My Games" list...both the NS people and Valve are interested, but both also have other priorities, so theres no saying when this'll happen

    2) has absolutely nothing to do with this thread
