Ok try not using the X menu at all then?
Which, if you stick to your shortcut keys, only keeps you from ejecting commanders and voting to concede.

That's the trick, shortcuts don't work as well. (Z, Q, T, H, Ping)
Wouldn't be a problem at all if it was just the menu itself. I never concede anyway :P
This is the trick : DO NOT TAUNT.
Taunting is what triggers the error.
Again, this is already fixed for next patch so just sit tight people and... don't taunt.
@IronHorse, I do not agree. All of the "X" commands are dead from round start no matter what. I have found no work around and believe me, I have tried. It is VERY annoying because taunting is nothing. We can't request meds, ammo, we can't ping the map, we can't even vote concede. Its a major problem for people having it. I cannot tell you how many extra times I have gotten killed in game because I can't use these "X" commands.

@IronHorse, again disagree. I rarey use the "X" button, I always use the short cut keys. None of them work either.
Why do we have to wait for the next build? Is it not possible to release fast patch? It's just a small bug in one file Natural Selection 2\ns2\lua\NetworkMessages_Server.lua - line 273

Crap.. ok..
@PolskaKielbasa yes its just one line and like i said its already been fixed.. but this isnt the only bug we want fixed?
There's actually a far worse issue crashing many people right now.
So why release a hotfix now, only to just release yet another one potentially in a few hours? Everyone would be out of date, servers catching up.. a needless nightmare.
Not to mention every single fix needs proper time in testing.. because its not uncommon for a "fix" .. even its its braindead simple.. to create even more bugs..
They don't expect us to just, not play, until it's fixed right? I am slapping myself for donating so quickly now. Should have waited till any bugs were found and handled first. Live and learn.
Ok, it is Wednesday now and no news about when the next hotfix is going to be. I know there is another bug, the 32-bit memory crash problem out there that is more critical, I agree. However, that bug has to be more complicated and difficult to solve than this one, a bug already said to be fixed. We simply need the hot fix for it. If UWE is planning on having us wait for the complicated 32-bit memory problem to be fixed before we get our fix, I FIND THAT UNACCEPTABLE. Unless this 32-bit fix is due to come out quite soon. On top of that, my understanding is, the people who donated money to Reinforced are the ones having this problem. We are the people that are directly contributing to the future of NS2, maybe even of UWE itself.
My patience of hearing nothing on when this is going to be fixed is wearing thin.
I have one problem from the Build 255, the voice marines male or female are impossible to use, the menu "x" too...
When i want to need a medpack, use taunts or use the "!" in the game with the mouse roll click, all this button didn't work...
Have you any recommandation? Do you have this problem too??
Just my 5 cents, I have no problems pinging the map and requesting medpacks or ammo. It just works. I don't taunt at all though. Doubt Linux version is any different but that's the fact, I don't exoerience this issue. I'll try taunting and see what happens.

All the shadows I've asked in game don't have this issue.
Oh, that wasn't mentioned anywhere in the thread, the only thing was about "it's related to your badge" and I thought about "a badge" but it was "the badge". Strange. I wonder if there are unit tests for such complex things like this one and I wonder if devs use unit and/or integration testing at all. Those tests doesn't assure that things work right but at least they verify that things haven't gotten worse or plain broken.

Glad to hear read the news. It doesn't actually matter that much how long we should wait. It matters however if the devs have some vague deadline or not. Certainty, that's what matters. Now we have that date and I'm happy about it!
Just donated to get myself the silver badge only to get this bug. Can't taunt, request med / ammos / orders. Without these keys it's literally unplayable for me until they fix this. Oh well, just need to wait next week if there's an update coming.

joke #2. speaking of vague deadlines, i think i know one back in 2009.
oh wait, sorry, you probably don't know what i'm talking about. at least UWE is thoughtful enough to give you some cosmetic upgrades. makes you feel great in-game and on the forums, no?

Appreciate the patience tho, everyone.
If not, I'll just have to tea bag dead aliens instead of taunting them.
And meds are overrated anyway.
like seriously. FOR REAL.
My patience of hearing nothing on when this is going to be fixed is wearing thin.
Fair enough. I had gotten mad because I repeatedly pounded "Q" again to get med packs in a game as I was getting chewed up and spitten out.
WE RE WAITING !!!!!!!

TADA!
