By Liam Dawe - 8 December 2013 at 8:16 pm UTC

Natural Selection 2 your friendly resource heavy FPS/RTS hybrid has unleashed build 261 for you to sink your teeth into. They also have ~179,000 new players thanks to being included in the Humble Bundle recently.

As usual it features masses of fixes and improvements thanks to a developer and community contributor (why haven't they hired him yet?!), i've highlighted some big ones for you:

Improved collision detection for melee
No longer having to use the US keyboard layout for the commander RTS mode
Added minimal HUD option.
Damage effect decals are now precached (Mitigates hitching during first encounters)
Added precaching for a few files causing big hitches when joining a team
Made server browser more usable for lower resolution users, especially in 4:3 resolutions

And a lot more.

Okay, now the game is playable. It seems too late tho.

There are zero servers in my region, and playing this game with more than 100 ping is a nightmare
