Changelog
Tweaks/Improvements
- Migrated to 64 bit architecture
- Updated related dependent libraries
- This fixed various dependency related issues.
- Note: NS2 now detects your keyboard layout correctly.
- Updated related dependent libraries
All non QWERTY keyboard users may need to rebind certain features (e.g. the console).
- Reworked job & thread scheduling:
- Now able to utilize all your CPU cores
- Slightly increased performance and increased core spread load.
- Removed dependency on Intel’s TBB library (linux)
- New Auto Crash Collector!
- If your client crashes, it will quickly show a dialog that automatically begins uploading your crash report and all relevant information to us. This is going to be a very helpful tool for us to diagnose issues, and it should be a simple process for you, since the only button you’ll have to press is “Restart NS2” if it occurs!
- The Server’s dns address is now propagated to the clients via a server field instead the tags string allowing operators to use a longer dns address.
- Dedicated Servers can now use the `-autorestart` argument (no parameters needed). If the server should crash, it will immediately restart with the previous start-up arguments. The crash will also be uploaded to our collector at the same time and not delay the server restarting.
Fixes
- Fixed that the Shared.SortEntitiesByDistance method returned corrupted results at Linux causing all kind of issues and crashes. This also fixes that you couldn’t play the alien commander tutorial on Linux.
- Fixed that Whips sometimes didn’t face their targets correctly (Contributed by Katzenfleisch)
- Fixed that Whips sometimes didn’t get removed from the nav mesh correctly after getting moved (Contributed by Katzenfleisch)
- Fixed a server script error occurring when a client with a custom badge selected connected.
- Fixed a client crash occurring due to the tutorial reminder popup which gets displayed to new player when the access the server browser
- Fixed an issue where dying in an exosuit during the warm-up period would sometimes cause the HUD to remain hidden even after respawning.
- Fixed an issue that affected some maps that would cause marine mini maps to appear blank.
- Fixed a very specific nasty crash that could occur when disconnecting from a server at a very specific point in the loading process.
- Fixed issue where opening server browser with a mod mounted would make it unresponsive.
- Fixed issue where certain maps (such as ns2_mesh) would allow for structures to sometimes, or always, be invisible on the marine minimap.
Maps
ns2_derelict
- Modified pathing mesh to ignore tech points (Contributed by Zavaro)
- This helps ensure drifters can always build hives
ns2_kodiak
- Modified pathing mesh to ignore tech points (Contributed by Zavaro)
- This helps ensure drifters can always build hives
Known Issues
- If you are using a Firewall, it will prompt to Allow/Deny access for a new executable. This is normal as the 32 and 64-bit are new and separate binaries from previous builds.
- The Dedicated Server console is not accessible on Windows 10
- Linux 64bit client has issue on start-up. This can be fixed by recreating the symlinks for FMOD libraries (in the x64 sub-folder within the NS2 install directory):
ln -sf libfmodex64-4.44-58.so libfmodex64.so
ln -sf libfmodevent64-4.44-58.so libfmodevent64.so
ln -sf libfmodeventnet64-4.44-58.so libfmodeventnet64.so
- The Cinematic Editor is temporarily broken for this build
