NS does not work

[kael]

The natural selection server does not work. A couple of us tried to connect to it and couldnt. It stops loading roughly 75 percent of the way and nothing else occurs. Maybe it has to be restarted or something dont know, JUST WANT TO PLAY NS. Thanks mate.

I think steam didnt update on it properly... have to get Ferrets attention.

hmmmm I'll check it out tomorrow... I know steam made NS amx unfriendly last time we checked. Perhaps they fixed that (and broke something else).

[ferret]

It's been broken for some time. Every time we fix it, it breaks again one or two maps down the road. Currently, AMX is disabled, but its still busted.

gerfunklpoopangdoodoo. poor lil server.

I thought I'd have a look and see if the pub ns server was also broke:

[pubgames@jester ns_3b3]$ ./update-ns3.ade
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation
Logging in as 'spurtytestns3@spurtyspub.com'
AccountSubscriptionsBillingInfoRecord field left in stripped in CSubscriberAccountRecord
[pubgames@jester ns_3b3]$

GG steam.

I'll have another look tomorrow (and read some NS forums). I bet we are not alone here.
