    Not my fault no one checks their keys if they aren't what they normally were, a small bug with it not initiating the check only if you open the options menu instead of on game start, or not.

    Why should I check if my keys changed? I had time tonight for one NS2 game, and it was ruined. You might not understand this as I can tell you are someone who has a lot of free time for video games. There is no reason for UWE to change the default keys in between patches, or why they couldn't have made the commander mic key the same as the default.

    Would be nice if we could select which of the things we want to turn off instead of all of them.

    Not sure if it just all the greens spamming something but ever since build 261 went out I have noticed massive server performance losses.

    My thoughts on 261 are pretty positive guys! Loving the fade changes and the key bindings! Being relatively smarter than the average human, I was able to figure out the binds quickly! (haha! I kid! I kid!)

    Also - I noticed a pretty big improvement to just the overall smoothness of the game. I get a stable 100 - 115 FPS late game and the big thing is a stable 90-100 while streaming with Xsplit. Input lag is pretty much gone (at least for me) and it's smooth as butter.

    Great job to everyone for all the hard work!

    P.S.

    Flashlight in spec mode is pretty cool too! :D

    Saying that..I've seen so many pro ppl looking for their 31-2 k/d scores..saw some lad with 45-3 .. I mean .. cmon ..pull your punches on pub servers ... like only parasite..or go commander .. or just defend certain areas..or go gorge ... on same note ..kudos to @Prommah for doing just that aswell saw him swapping teams to balance and pulled his punches so not to demoralise the new guys

    I am surprised you are noticing higher end game performance. For me, end game performance manages to go down no matter what I do. GPU utilization starts tanking the more entities are on the field at that point. How separate are the rendering threads from the game logic threads? They are they dedicated to teh same core or something? Max?

    I'm glad you were able to understand what I wrote.
    Funny how in a previous post you state not having enough time to check your key bindings tonight (which is three button presses?)... yet have time for 13 posts.

    If you are still having trouble with your bindings or accessing them during a game, feel free to visit the tech support forums and make an informative post.
