It hasent happened *so far* on LM but on other servers once I get an upgrade I get something (ie: Resupply) and it gives me Weap.Lvl 1 then I go for armor lvl 1, it gives it, then resupply again it gives it, then SG but it wont get it and I have to click repeatedly and sometimes I just give up because it doesnt work.
- I'd have to record a demo of this to show some people what I mean if they do not understand.

The only bug that I've found in CO is when spending a point or two on a weapon or item that the HL engine would spawn at your location. The item will apparently spawn and either be picked up by the guy behind me (from lag) or will not drop anywhere (just the appearing noise and sprites are played, no item is dropped). The latter is very annoying as I don't get my item! But next respawn, it works properly.
-
The first I haven't heard of anything similar since beta 1... the second will be fixed in beta 5.

you know what is funny if you are near someone who has just chosen ha or jp and you get it instead of them >:D
-
I'll record a video then do display my problem... what's the command for recording them?
-
Reinstall. Theres a file that can be corrupted, that controls menu placement
-
It's only something that happens occasionally, it doesn't bother to the point of reinstallation but it is slowing crawling to that stage... if I can find a solution or replace the file somehow (hintage) then I'd do it.
-
I remember something similar to this bug. I think it happened when i tried to victory egg a bit too late, and the menu bug reared its ugly head. I opened up the pop-up menu in another game to fix it, but for some reason, it bugged. Whenever i tried to get regeneration, it would turn me into a skulk (or if I was already a skulk, did nothing at all). Fixed itself by exiting + restarting NS.

'tis usually what I do Lito but you say it happened to you on NS but it always happens to me on CO. What you have described is basicly what happened to me.
I've, strangely, suffered two versions of this. One where I do NOT get my selected upgrade and cannot select anything after repetitive attempts, the other is what occured today where it worked at the beginning then borked after having obtained Weap. Lvl 1 and Armor Lvl. 1. then resupply; I was lucky to get anything after that.
-
sometimes i've found that the pop up menu it self gets a little borked, clicking on the middle of the buttons doesn't always work, you have to click on an edge or soemthing to make it do what you want.
on a similar note, i've also had problems where i'll start up my game and i'll be able to right clikc, the cursur for the menu comes up, but no menu itself, meaning i can't upgrade at all...anyone know how to fix that either?
-
Had this problem a few times... just retry it, SLOWLY. Lots of times. If it doesn't work, mine and kill yourself (of feed the aliens). Try again when you respawn.
-
It lasts throughout the whole game until it either changes map or I restart NS or change server.
-
iif your right click isnt working at all, and you notice your hud just seems a bit off, press esc into your menu and then go back in game, most times it fixs that. (in response to mary) :)

you know what is funny if you are near someone who has just chosen ha or jp and you get it instead of them >:D
if you're over/under the guy and both of you are crouching the other guy will get the ha/jp
-
never had any problems playing CO maps
-
i've seen that happen, you buy the said upgrade taht would drop upon you, but you get some weird luck and it just doesn't stick until you respawn. if you mean you never get it at all, perhaps its time to bind things because your menu seems to hate you D:
