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.

I think you've missed the point completely. Each map and it's associated assets would be one pak file. It makes perfect sense, since what's easier to install than just dropping a single file into a directory?

I didn't miss that point, because it was never said. You said:
However your above info was already obvious.

For example; Let's say I release a version of Deck for this new game. We'll call it 'FudsDeck' for arguments sake. So I release DM-FudsDeck.pak so everyone can now play with my Deck (titled DM-FudsDeck.pak) simply by stuffing my Deck in their folder. So basically in my mind people should stuff my Deck (titled DM-FudsDeck.pak) in ../UT(or whatever it gets called)/Maps. Not C:\Users\‹user name›\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3/UTGame/Published/CustomMaps Like it was with ut3. I don't want people stuffing my Deck (titled DM-FudsDeck.pak) there. BTW if I made a Deck map my Deck (titled DM-FudsDeck.pak) would be hard, it would always be hard. Oh yeah.
One reason this interests me is the same one that you defrag your hard drive. Even if the seek time issues are in the milliseconds on modern HDDs/SSDs. Another is that it just makes more organizational sense to me.
mutators in the /Mutators folder
Player models in the /Models folder
etc.
If all assets are crammed in a single pak file all the better.

You didn't have to do that with UT3. You also wouldn't have to do it in the new UT either. You can put the files anywhere inside the content directory.

I know there were work arounds but that is the default. Clearly I didn't like it and so I fixed mine. (I personally just cut and pasted all of mine into UT3's root directory). The system confused a lot of people though if the complaints on the UT3 forums were any indication.
It does occur to me now though, that with the content market place it may push the files to the appropriate location eliminating the need for installing it manually.

It really shouldn't matter. Hopefully the new UT will have a content manager and even if you download something outside of the marketplace, it will be like a "umod" or something and put the files where they need to go.[GU]elmur_fud;2610015 said:
In this game, who knows what it will do. Technically, it is wrong to install user files to the Program Files directory. Simple solution: don't install there by default.

Good thing I put it on my D. I play a lot of games on my D. Also when friends are over I let them play on my D.
Yes, I know but ... this will create unnecessary dependencies.
e.g.
If I use in my map two different textures from two different maps, my map will be dependent on these two huge map packages instead of two much smaller texture packages - maps, in which not necessarily I (or others ...) will want to play. Not to mention ReadMe.txt: 'Sorry buddy for inconvenient, but in order to play this map you need to download these two other maps too.'
... still fuzzy ...

UT3 and all previous UTs had the same issue, unless you wanted to:
a) Put every asset in it's own package.
b) Duplicate the assets.
You could try and create a dedicated asset package that you reuse.

Is there a place or procedure to report errors?
Just got around to build from the latest sources, discovered weird collision issues with projectiles.
It's easy to test: Open the default test map. Use the bio rifle, fire the pri on the wall left of the "Press Enter to spawn bot.." message. They won't splatter on the wall, but fly through it. Strangely, if you fire the alt on the same location, it sticks. It doesn't apply to the entirety of the wall, so maybe weird BSP issues, or really weird collision issue?

More likely to be a difference between the collision flags in either projectile. Would be an easy fix.
Actually.. It must be the BSP. 
No sane level designer would have made that map; the brushes overlap like crazy. I just deleted that wall and added a new one, solved it.
(I did do a rebuild of it before I posted here.)
Just curious, because I barely knew how to vertex edit bruhes 5 min ago, but collision flags wouldn't be valid for parts of a single BSP brush, though, at least it's not something that would fit my mental model. (I thought it was a deeper engine issue, but the simplest answer was a BSP issue.)
