Take your time with the lag fix!

I hope the devs take their time and really iron out all the problems with lag. In my opinion one of the biggest problems plaguing most games today is Hit-Regsitration or Latency issues. I know there is a lot of science behind latency and client vs server but with all the games I've played I have to say I think it's almost an art form too.

Hit-Reg and latency seems to vary so much from game to game. I really hope the team can get it done in a great way, esp with all the fast moving aliens etc. etc.

Good Luck Guys!

    It may take a couple runs at it to iron it out.
    But the good thing is that they have total access to the netcode.

    They also have an impressive alpha base who they could convince to send logfiles
    or simply enable stats tracking to gather information on their problems.

    I am not overly worried but all the same I like the sentiment...(and added an extra exclamation point)

    Good Luck Guys!!

    What about the very low FPS?

    Are these 2 problems connected?

    Nope, but don't expect any game pre-release to be optimized for speed.

    I've "tried" the leaked doom 3 alpha, it was even less playable than NS2 (NS2 gets 10 fps on my laptop, doom 3 alpha was getting 0.1 fps). So don't worry about that.

    Still not as bad as when NS was first released.

    LOL. OH man, that was hilarious and terrible. #1 Strat: Rush the CC. Marines couldn't hit anything :P To be fair though, it was patched post-haste.

    The lag bug in NS 1.0 was so bad that it was hard to hit things standing still too :P
