[BETA] New beta update

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Get it here

You should ONLY get this if you ALREADY have the last beta (the big one). To anyone else - I'm afraid this file is useless to you, please don't download it ;).

Changes include:

  • You can spectate (view other players, though not fly around) once you complate a race or are wrecked in wrecker.
  • Slower damage in "contact" gametypes, like CTF, Rabbit, etc.
  • Option to disable the real-time reflections. You'll find it as a checkbox on the bottom of the graphics detail settings. If you're getting shader/ScriptedTexture-related problems or crashes, or serious performance problems, try disabling this.
  • Option to enable real-time shadows. It's off by default, because it doesn't always look good on all maps. You'll find an extra option for it in the "Shadow detail" drop-list.
  • Reduced the turbo shake effect.
  • Slowed heal rate in wrecker.
  • Changed the in-game Lap Records to not try to look up vehicle names on the client-side, it will use vehicle names as returned by the server (looks odd at the moment, since I haven't updated the server scripts).
  • Can no longer reset after a round is over.
  • SHOULD no longer spew dust after a round has ended.
  • Random other tweaks along the way which I've forgotten about.

Uhh .. I dunno what you did in the code... but everything looks streached for me now... even after resetting the graphics in the game. The only time it looks normal is before I get in the car or right after turbo is done being used.

I just finished about 45 minutes with no problems:) I played with both realtime shadows and reflections off. I have noticed an odd pattern though,a carry over from the previous release, I have a spectator for about 4 maps, then it says webAdmin has joined. When that happens I don't spawn in the car. It is the same every time it says werbadmin spectated.

Snipe: Looks like your FOV is a bit messed up there. When you first get into the vehicle, try typing into the console "fov 90". It should reset your FOV to something reasonable, and hopefully it'll stick.

Steve: That's rather odd, but at least you seem to have narrowed it down to something, that should help a lot. Thanks. I assume that was online? Any other players there?

i was on for a couple rounds last night (alone :( ) i have real shadows on and real reflections off as of now. only problem i had was, first map i joined, i spawned in a different car than what i choose, and what i choose was on top of me. :lol: not wanting to run previous car i hit spectate/join and spawned in correct car but couldnt move and it had "camo paint job". i think im going to disable reflection thingy as well. we'll just have to make a point of waiting at the start to make sure everyone spawns correctly and in proper car....game etiquette

so is this thread going to be the new bug found/i noticed this that the other thing ?????

like i said earlier, it seems like it runs smoother and my turbo does not shake anymore, just blurrs, but thats fine by me, makes good screenshots. thats all i can think of at moment.

I dont think thats tied to any sort of graphics problem. I noticed it happens to me on my first join on any map left on by another player... and ONLY happens then for me and never again as long as I play or as long as other people are playing when I join.

steve choose a rally map and i choose excalibur car and spawned me in previous races car formula.... this is after we ran a couple tracks, if i recall correctly

one other thing i had one time, was at the end of race, "0 seconds left" kept displaying in a loop... pulled up mapvote menu and it was even scrolling in the my chat area :) .... only happened once

is it me or... at end of race, hit fire to toggle views to other racers, it doesnt seem to go back to viewing yourself until after end of race ????

Did you add the .int file to the system folder? I have been using it on your server, so that end of it is working.

Good to know... must have placed something in the wrong folder on my gaming computer (probably dropped it in my UT2k4 System folder not the UW one).
