Start by telling us who this is and why he matters.

I'll quote some posts from around the web

whenever i click it in my steam library, something odd happens. I get an audiofile about NS1 dying or being dead. a man, who seems to have worked on the game gives his commentary on the situation. in multiple parts, he seems to forget his words, and then proclaims armageddon because the early source games are dying. can someone tell me what is happening?


a NS2 developer answers

Hi,

users reported this kind of issue before and we could never figure out what is going on.

This most likely either happens because you have a client mod enabled that plays those sound files or because somehow instead of the intro video a youtube video is played.

So clear the steam's web browser cache (Steam -> Settings -> Web Browser -> Delete Browser Cache)

Edit: Futhermore make sure nothing gets played by steam's music player (View -> Music Player

and it continues

I just got this too. Haven't touched the game since 2013, had the game highlighted thinking about playing it, then this audio starts up. Freaks me tf out 'cos he's on about the end of the world and♥♥♥♥♥♥haha. Open up volume mixer to find the source, and it shows multiple instances of firefox even though it's not running. What a fun night haha

Just happened to me when i tried to install NS 2 so i think ill just avoid this game and leave it uninstalled lol shame it was seeming like a fun game to play.

well i cleared my mod and web cache, but the issue still persists. this must be something directly coded into the background, where it opens up a hidden browser page, because as soon as the video ends it autoplays to another one. i am not sure how I would go about fixing this, but this whole thing is weird. the person in the video is so closely dedicated to ns1 but isn't giving constructive feedback for ns2. the whole thing seems to hint that he was close to development of the earlier game, which is understandable why he would hate to see it go. Im just confused about why he took the time to set it up.

Mmmm sound like a leaked audio,just saying maybe during the development of NS2 or maybe during the voice recording or ambient sound creation a grabation was accidentally put in the files,



People playing Natural Selection 2 are getting the audio of this video recording while launching the game.... and developers of Natural Selection 2 don't knoy why, lol.

Natural Selection2? IIRC NS1 was a mod, for HL2 I guess? Got NS2 somehow, either in a bundle for a dollar or for free, never played it.
Topic - eh, twas ok trivia but hardly worth making a thread.
Must be that younger gaming generation that spam threads when anything happen between DotA/PUBG/CS matches and watching YT/Twitchs for hours...

Gloom mod is objectively superior to Natural Selection 1 and 2.

tl;dr - it's a "ghost video" that appears with a game by the makers of Subnautica, which is being released tomorrow?

Now there's potential for fun times for all the Subnautica kiddies.
