Version 3.3 beta 7

Installation

NOTICE: The recent HL 25th aniversary update broke the NS mod. To run NS you need to go to the Steam Library -> Half-Life -> right click -> Properties -> Betas -> steam_legacy. This will be necessary until valve releases their HL SDK update and we then manage to fix all of the issues introduced.

Note: To enable the HD models, go to options->video->check "Enable HD models if available" and restart your game.

• To install the full game, download ns_v33b7_full.zip and follow its instructions, then restart steam.
• To update an existing installation of NS 3.3b2 or later, download ns_v33b7_patch.zip and follow its instructions. If you wish to update your game from an earlier version, install the 3.3b2 patch first, then this patch.
