Hey this patch makes the game load alot faster especially if you loaded all that extra stuff we needed for matrox site. My load up is under 20 sec again. There are some other fixes like after you disconnect from game you were still connected to the server problem. Other multiplayer fixes to. Game play seems unaffected by patch. I suggest getting it.

[Thundrchez]

Yup, this patch seems to do a good job. (I have bad memories of previous ut patches severly affecting the 3d performance.)

[Thundrchez]

...and it no longer requires the CD to play UT!

I just tried it out. I didn't notice any change in my start up time. About the only difference that I could see was that the Packet loss line (under your ping when you hit F1) was gone. I wonder why they did that?

[Humus]

I don't like this patch. It limits the translocator firing rate to 2/sec ... I went back to 428

[Snake-Eyes]

Hmm Humus, I didn't notice that. I haven't looked for it yet, but from what I've seen, I'm still able to reach extremely high places with the double trans method with the patch.

Yeah, I noticed that too Humus. I didn't even bother downloading it cause of that. I think I'm going to send a complaint about that. Hopefully if they recieve enough complaints then it will get changed back.

The only other thing in it that interests me are the OGL fixes. I'd really like to be able to use OGL someday.(well, not the only other thing, removeing the CD check would be nice, but it's not worth that blow to the the trans)

It's official. They have done it to prevent some sort of cheating. I have never seen that cheat but my roommate have experienced someone on a server cheating by doing some script where he could get a extremely high translocator firing rate which would cause the game to be unplayable for everyone else (you get 5-6 fps).
You can usually use the translocator anyway, but when doing tripple of quad translocator jump you may get trouble, probably leaving a small crater ...

Thanks for the info. Personally, I don't have a problem with limiting my consecutive translocations to two, since it still gets me everywhere I reasonably need to go.

That, and the fact that folks transing in mid-air clear from the top of the hill into the amp area or the redeemer area of CTF-Face irritates me to no end (There's practically no way to keep them from getting there, short of a redeemer blast). The patch also stops that behavior, sort of leveling the playing field a bit.

I certainly liked it better the way is was before. Being able to transloc into redeemer are is a essential thing for me. It enhances gameplay a lot to have two ways to get into the building, especially when there are shocklamers in there.

[Snake-Eyes]

But that's part of the design of the map, heh. You're supposed to have a choke-point or two, otherwise maps become nearly impossible to defend, and the game becomes a case of see who can run the most flags over in the least time (with flags going as soon as they're returned).

With the chokepoints, half the battle is simply getting into the flag room.

Excellent !!!



and looking into the list of fixes:

- fixed grenade smoke in OpenGL

Now that was about time, wasn't it ?
