New UT2004 Patch: Hopefully doesn't break anything...

  • 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.

That's not funny, actually. I forget what game, but one of its patches messed up the monitor refresh rate settings, and hosed a good number of players monitors by setting the refresh rate way high. This was a few years back. Nowadays, most newer monitors will display an "out of sync" message instead of trying to set the rate too high.

I remember that incident but can't remember which game it was.
