    Did someone forget to increment the patch # on the main page or has this not been updated on Steam yet?

    Edit: Looks like I was thrown off by the date on your original post. 10:40PM yesterday?

    It hasn't been distributed by Valve yet. It takes hours sometimes or minutes after UWE sends it in, no one knows how long it'll take.

    s_stats 1 worked for me. 0 to off.

    fx_stats (no 1 or 0) brought up r_stats and s_stats together.

    I'd like to hope that helps but it might not help you, maybe some others :)

    You should get something similar to below (using fx_stats)

    I'm not sure. Either Tram alien hive drastically changed in 166 or as someone said earlier, they've just not updated the version number to 167.

    I'm excited about the fixes for dropping structures, was annoying to babysit each drifter to make sure it was listening to orders

    Yup. That's a work in progress of a track for the NS2 soundtrack.

    Hey guys,

    I noticed a problem with sound when playing on high ping or a server with high load sometimes the soundfx for the guns would trigger twice.

    I went to the GDCvault and you can only get Charlie's presentation if you are a member. I don't think sign up is free, did anyone video tape it at unknownworlds or anything?

    I played for about an hour, experienced little to no lag (until the Hydra spam), and no sound bugs!

    Still, it feels like I never hear the marine fire that's killing me unless I'm at melee range. Because I expect to hear the large bullet-ripping sounds you hear in most FPSs, I immediately feel like I've been flashbanged or something (which obviously doesn't exist but the feeling persists). It's odd at first, but now it's actually quite nice not to hear bullets ripping in to you; I can focus better and don't get all jumpy.

    <b>IT</b><i></i> suddenly <i>hit</i> me. Building on macs drifters (bug) could actually be part of the gameplay.

    Please consider - it is possible in final stages to add EXAMPLE: a mobile drone (that automatically but very slowly) clears infestation?

    or

    Example Aliens: Shift Umbra from crags to (some mobile structure, ground or flying) controlled by commander for techical moves?
    or
    Perhaps a Goo explosion creature (one time usage : and expensive) that temporarily disable (5~7seconds) all marine structures in AoE/Room?

    Instead of just thinking of the negative impact of bugs. UWE might find new ideas made by them.

    Regards,

    Never let the bugs get you down

    Sound looping could have been made as a (alien parasite) disorentiate marines? Create false impression (hive or structure is guarded)?

    Midair shulk leaps - A possible upgrade tier 3?

    Flame thrower shoot through wall bug - Perhaps a soundwave/shockwave pistol that shoots through (thin walls) ?

    Marine invunerable bug - Commander (team + player res) skill? Long cooldown low invunerable time (3 secs?)
