They've also confirmed that the package download errors when using custom maps have been fixed, although it wasn't listed in the change log.

Good news, Haarg. Thanks

Definitely the best patch so far, although many of the things I really care about are still neglected. I wish they'd fix the issues with bots and team management in the duel mod. I would also really like to be able to check the server browser without disconnecting from the server I'm playing on. No option to enter a password when you connect to a passworded server from the console is pretty lame too. That would have been an easy fix. And no demoguy fix, wtf? How can they ignore a bug this blatant?

And I'm a little unclear on this:

[*]Fixed loaded RL switching away before releasing load on net clients.

So they fixed the bug where, when you run out of ammo on the rocket launcher, it fails to fire the rockets when you release the trigger but instead does it later when the weapon starts to switch? Cuz I hate that bug, and this description doesn't sound like it.

Epic win.

It's something that's not fixable pine.

:c

 

[Soggy_Popcorn]

So is the game almost complete then?

Nope, it still needs maps. It has none.

 

[Vitamin-Carrot]

They have been busy havent they ... remind me to send a fruit basket

 

[Mr. UglyPants]

Is it really so hard to ask them to make the bots not so God-like on all settings?

I digress, there's a lot of stuff in there that i am quite pleased to see being fixed.

Is the demo guy problem fixed in the beta?

 

[zynthetic]

Sounds sweet! But could someone at Epic please just at least take a look at the widescreen problem?

Thank You!

What problem?

 

[weisso]

MOD. SWITCH.

YES!

 

[Anuban]

What problem?

You can't see the issue in that photo because the problem is with the FPV arms ... you don't see nearly as much as you should or do if you don't have a WS monitor. If you really want to see how much of the arms you are missing then just take a look at some of the screenshots Buffy has taken of EEs models on his website.

 

[Wunderbar_007]

What problem?

Very nice screen! Anuban is correct however, you won't notice it on that screenshot. It's a problem where the top and bottom of the screen is horisontaly cut, as if zoomed in. I may be wrong, but other UE3 games have had this issue (Bioshock I think) and they were fixed. I just thought this was a known issue and am very surprised this hasn't been dealt with yet.

 

[MonsOlympus]

So wait a sec, moving perhaps scaling and adjusting the fov on the first person weapons could stop all this screaming about widescreen support

Problem solved.
Unless what you mean is to have a scene rendered based off the v-res to calculate the h-rez giving you an extra 168px advantage on each side over standard displays. This is compared to the current 96px advantage 4:3 screens have rendered on the top and bottom.
I use a 16:10 screen for UT3 and imo the current sceme is the lesser of two evils.

That advantage you mention is precisely what I'm talking about. Here are some visual examples of what I mean.

He said it's the lesser of the two evils I happen to agree.

DemoGuy is unfixable, it's an engine problem.

I can't believe some poeple are saying that the patch is "uninteresting". About the only thing I could have asked for more would have been gametype voting on the vote system.

 

[XeroWolf]

Yes yes patch is looking awesome but still much needed to be done. Keep em coming Epic, we got mods to build.

It's their engine, thus they can fix the engine, thus its a fixable problem.
