It'll break everything. I'm sure someone will claim that it crashed their windows, too.

HAHA I love those "new game patch hosed my system" stories

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.

Yar! New patch on it's way. This is good news and bad news. I sure hope FMI get a ahold this patch to see if compatible with UT:XMP. Our at least make patch 1b compatible.

Not if you use linux

It'll probably have a special linux hack that makes it run at uber speed and have built-in wallhax
