Thanks for the absolutely amazing effort guys. This is one of those games that I won't ever stop playing, and the fact that there's a community out there not only fixing bugs but also improving the game after the devs have moved on is fantastic. It'…

My mistake. They were subscribed and auto-installed. I removed them, and I used my native res. The issue persists.

This is normal probably. The game is very CPU heavy. You can try disabling SLI, but the issue is probably that the game is simply very CPU heavy. You can disable some graphics settings to lower the CPU load. There isn't a CPU out there that can give…

(Quote) This did not fix the issue.
Here's my tech support log. Mods and resolution have made no difference for me. Neither has fullscreen, windowed, or windowed fullscreen. This tech support log zip is from a clean default setting w… -
I'm using DX9 fullscreen. There's only 1 monitor. I have Windows 8.1, and there's nothing else on overlay. The log.txt file that the game dumps to in Appdata/Roaming/Natural Selection 2 shows only what I attached. Any other logs I can provide? I don…

That's exactly what I'm having to do as well. Sometimes if you get lucky you can enter the server browser immediately, but usually you have to restart the game between 1-3 times for the mouse to actually work once you enter one of those menus. The b…

No mods. This is the default config. I deleted the entire Natural Selection 2 folder in Appdata, so it's default settings. I'm not in windowed mode.

I did not read all 6 pages but I read about half, and I saw no mention of the fact that Mantle doesn't support all AMD hardware. Mantle only supports Radeon 7000 series and up. I think Mantle would be a great way to lower the completely absurd CPU r…

Natural Selection 2 can't cause blue screens. What most likely happened is either a bug got triggered in the GPU driver, or you hit high temperature levels, or your GPU is malfunctioning. atikmpag.sys is part of your GPU driver, so the issue most li…

Crappy server performance won't affect your FPS. I'm pretty sure your issue is the crossfire setup. Other people have reported issues with it before as well.
Couple of things to try: disable crossfire completely, try the dx9 renderer. Al… -
I went from an ancient dual 2.6Ghz Athlon64 from 2007 to an 8 core FX-8120 and my FPS jumped up around 5 times at least. I'd get around 15 FPS the beginning of a typical game, now I get 75-90. But apparently CPU doesn't do anything?
Your… -
The problem is you get the popup for assists. They should remove it for assists. The game used to only have it show up for kills and there was never any problem. It's when they added the assist popup that I suddenly started mistakingly thinking I go…

This is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for basically bugfixing the game. I guess having the game written in LUA is handy here and there.
-
I don't like the idea of Mantle. It's a very GPU-specific API, applying ONLY to Southern Island GPUs. That means only 7000 series and up. People pointed out earlier that AMD GPUs have a large market share, but most of then are not 7000 or up. That's…
-
Kamamura is correct. If you don't see it it's not being rendered. You can test this yourself at any time by looking at the floor or wall in a room. The FPS will immediately jump up despite the fact that your position didn't change at all. You can ty…

I don't know why people here are saying "there's no point of a Mac version" when it's already been stated that the OS X version is coming "soonish". There will be a Mac client.
-
Darn. Ah well, thanks for the timely response.
-
Does anyone else notice a compression artifact in the rifle fire sound? It's pretty annoying.
-
Mesa 10 is due to be released very soon. Whether it will actually run NS2 is another story.
I will point out that for anyone testing the upcoming Mesa here, you have to state your hardware. Mesa Radeon drivers are not up to date with Ope… -
Mesa just got updated to 3.2: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ4MzI
If you find an PPA for experimental Mesa builds then… -
Is r_stats still broken in that it doesn't report correctly whether it's the CPU or GPU that's the bottleneck?
-
(Quote) A lot of window managers do not do unredirecting very well and either still composit or do not remove all of the 3D window manager pipeline. The best thing to do is to use a non-3D window manager like XFCE-WM or Fluxbox. I have yet to see…
-
Great patch guys. 256 broke the game for 40 minutes or so (non-native resolution bug) but a workaround was found really fast, and then it was promptly fixed which was good. I'm above all glad to have all the input lag fixed. Game finally feels as sm…
-
sonix1977nl's workaround works. Thanks for the tip. The Alt+Enter is really fast too (at least for me) so only takes a couple of seconds.
-
I'm having the same problem. Affects every UI in the game including the commander and the buy/evolve menus. Commander is now unplayable, and buying things just became extremely difficult. FPS view is unaffected, probably because it doesn't matter wh…
-
(Quote) I'm pretty sure the evolve buttons not showing up only happens with your first game (each time you start ns2.exe) and your first evolve menu, and I believe you have to be very fast in hitting the evolve menu as soon as you jump into that …
-
Could be that it's all going into the patch today. I feel like that's a bad idea personally... but why else would all the changes just vanish?
-
Drop your texture quality setting if it's above low. Textures by far take the most memory.
-
I've noticed this too, but I didn't look at client or server tick rates. Good thing people smarter than me know how to find links. The mouse definitely gets significantly more input delay when things slow down than before. I'd like this to be looked…

Of course the masses would be raging at UWE if they paid for something and it was taken away. That's the problem. However what you're also not considering is those who are having game crashes also had something they paid for taken away, and frankly …
