Installation

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_v33b4_full.zip and follow its instructions, then restart steam.
To update an existing installation of NS 3.3b2 or later, download ns_v33b4_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.
- It is also recommended that people patching their game set gl_texturemode "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" in console or their config for optimal visuals.
