Natural Selection 2

Template:Infobox Natural Selection 2 is the sequel to the Half-Life mod Natural Selection, currently in private-beta development by Unknown Worlds Entertainment.

Beta Access

Buying the game from the official site will allow you to download, update and play the beta from Steam. The beta has an active online community and regular updates.

Performance Issues

Note: As of Beta 195, the game is not performance-optimized for less powerful computers. If you can't get the game running at a decent FPS, you'll either have to wait for the game to get further in development, or upgrade your computer.

• Some steps you could try:
  • Lower the visual settings from High to Medium. Medium to Low has a minor effect.
  • Lower your resolution.
  • Play Fullscreen.

Alternatively, in the console you can toggle these commands to disable graphical effects such as bloom, atmospherics, etc):

r_bloom false *Disables bloom effect r_atmospherics false *Disables atmospheric lighting r_shadows false *Disables shadow rendering r_flash false *Disables flash GUI
