<div class="IPBDescription">lots of em</div> well were to start. first off im having alot of trouble with getting into servers.
I use all-seeing eye, double click to enter a game.
It loads NS, says im connected etc etc, then just as i should be entering, it boots me out, gives me an error about bad surface sprites (or something). so i double click again, and i get in normally... wtf? sometimes i get in first time, sometimes it takes 5 times. I have completely reinstalled XP, HL, and NS, still same exact errors.this also happens when server changes map - sometimes i get booted.
ok more bugs.
as alien, sometimes when i upgrade cloak or adren (whatever) for NO REASON AT ALL i die... it says suicide... ? happened about 5 times now.
getting stuck on all sorts of things... esp when your an onos it very annoying.
sometimes marines are invincible i could swear. u chomp them like 20 times, they turn around and BAM ur dead.
sometimes i get connection errors, and get booted out... and i have broadband and never get kicked out of any other games i play (the server does NOT crash)
alot of others i cant think of atm.
my pc specs if anyone can help me fix the first prob, as its quite annoying.
p3 1ghz
512mb ram
gf2 GTS 32mb
creative vibra 128
512k ADSL
etc

As far as upgrading, the best thing I can think of is make sure you're in the open. Everytime you upgrade your character turns into an egg and then back. If when you re-spawn you're part way in a wall you'll die.
There are all kinds of things to get stuck on, especially when you're an Onos because they are so huge.
There are some hitbox issues, it also could be lag, as you say next that you sometimes get connection errors.
Sometimes i just cant cloak at all... i stand still for like agggess and nothin.... but i saw a dude stay cloaked... he was with me taking out some dead turrets,.... he was running around as fade clawing them and stayed cloaked for a good 5 mins while i followed him.
also, sometimes i can "partially" see aliens that are cloaked while im alien.. i guess thats how it should be right, but most of the time i cant see them at all??

I can't say for certain but a bet when you're having problems cloaking you're near an observatory, and observatory decloak aliens.

Nar, it can be anywhere. All i usually need to do is move a few cm, and then i can cloak. its reallly buggy game dudes - but i love it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> just fix the gettin stuck thing first!! its damn annoying <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
