2.5.2 beta builds. Official test thread.

[Vordreller]

Question: I use DSN to play, for I can't get a decent FPS otherwise.

If I unzip the patch to the nexuiz Directory, do I have to re-unzip the DSN stuff again? I'm thinking yes, since settings will be overriden.

The first lag was network lag, probably bad ping on the server (Not related to Nexuiz). My question is with the FPS lag, do you get the same performance with Nexuiz 2.5.1 SDL as the beta build? If not, this could be a build problem with the OS X SDL libs.

ill check the 2.5.1 build and see..

Don't unzip DSN again, that'll break the upgrade. The only way to do it properly is to carry out the same mods to 2.5.2 as are done to 2.5.1 to make DSN.

Sound issue.

The sound just stopped, as in "just disappear", no comeback there...

Playing on DCC beginners, basement.
System, ubuntu 64bit, alsa, pulseaudio. Ran game with nexuiz-linux-glx.sh
How can I provide more information than this?
2.5.1 worked fine in this regard.

Update: Happened again.

So in other words, wait for the guys from DSN to make DSN compatible.

@paperclips: that's weird. I got that issue in 2.5+. But that's totally pulseaudios fault.. because killing it fixes the sound for me.
I REALLY hope Ubuntu will remove that crap. The sooner the better. Why would anyone need a sound server? It does not make sense.

No man, _no_. Its just badly implemented, they fixed it A LOT since heron/intrepid. Pulseaudio is good shit. I mean stream sound over network, changing a applications, per application volume control, output application to a certain soundcard (this I use a lot, so nice), low latency etc etc. Its all good. Its like the laser, with a bit of faith and some work, you'll get there! ;D
Yeah, I got that in svn as well. :/ however it have only happened twice so far yet, and I grind alot.. So hopefully it will behave, further on.
But... is this bug something you devs have been able to pinpoint? It feels like, it only happen on certain maps and/or situations...

Joining a 2.5 server with 2.5.2 beta results in the sprites for flags, flag carriers being displaced completely. Very confusing. Such as:

and also
