UT2k3 patch delayed/EXPLAINED

  • 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.

We've decided to hold off on it until we get closer to being done with UT2004, to make sure we don't have
to make any further changes that would break compatibility. Sorry, I don't have a new ETA yet.

So now we know...the patch won't be out till late september AT THE EARLIEST... Oh well, I guess we were all counting on that ;)

Ha! Yeah, and hopefully a few of the damned annoying log warnings that keep appearing due to buggy Epic code. Makes it hell trying to find my own errors amongst all of Epic's.....;)

:lol:

I don't know of a game that doesn't still need patching...except for maybe half-life, that game was patched enough for all the other games that never were.

Why do you write code with errors in it? I never do... :D

I didn't even know there is still going to be a patch for ut2k3... :con:

I guess there must be a new patch to bring it in line with UT2004 and vice versa. Epic have said that UT2003 will be somewhat compatible with 2004 and judging by what they are saying, the engine has had a complete overhaul which would necessitate the release of a "final" patch.

TBH I am looking forward to the 40% netcode optimizations :notworthy

What I meant was that there is always a huge hype before a patch is released and I didn't notice any, the so called "two weeks"-period. Oh wait, was that for BP's? cant remember... :)
