Natural Selection 2 Build 266 is now live on Steam! Today's release is the culmination of weeks of hard work by the new NS2 CDT - Community Development Team. A patch that has been developed entirely by the NS2 community - we are very proud and humbled to release it to you all. While it might be short in scope and stature, we hope you’ll find that your experience is now a little more refined. This patch was created by the community, for the community and with Unknown World’s blessing. They have taken a gamble on us, but our shared passion for the Natural Selection franchise is what got us here today. Things like bug fixes and popular features have gone into this patch, but we have many more plans for the future! You can also view our CLOGCAST Q&A. Hear about what people think of 266 and about potential things to come in 267. http://youtu.be/AmPKywkykQ0 httpv://youtu.be/Bvkp2ocX0NQ Fixes Fixed commander selection bug that made buildings selected with hotgroups not respond properly sometimes Fixed scoreboard not showing Spectators to players on teams (Thanks Wyzcrack) Fixed bug where damage numbers wouldn't show the damage done in the killing blow Fixed lights staying red if the power node is under attack (Thanks remiD) Display correct team color/background for Alltalk voice chat (Thanks remi.D) Fixed Gorge viewmodel idle animation not looping correctly on the top of the mouth Fixed not being able to drop sentries before the first sentry battery is fully built Fixed Bilebomb bouncing on top of the owner if it catches it and going through walls at the right angle Fixed Exo eject sound playing before the eject animation Fixed infestation blobs spawning on nocling geometry Fixed players getting stuck on Infantry Portals if another player is afk on it "nav_debug", collision, and physics console commands now require cheats to be on Fixed unknown in server browser bug (thanks Person8880!)
