UT3 Patch 3 In The Works, Features Slowly Being Revealed

[Sk.7]

heres one no one knows about, setting oponents to 11 will give you 9

Oh pants

Hey wait a minute - if NOONE knows about this then how come that you actually DO?

Reminds me of the famous "Impossible is nothing" quote none the less

 

[Bazzwano]

meh, i mean im just pretty sure not many other people know (including epic)

 

[Wunderbar_007]

Which issues? I can pass them along perhaps, or find out if they are being looked at.

If you're serious, adding friends/messages is in need of hardcore simplifying IMO. Not that I can't figure it out, just it used to be much, much easier in previous UTs.

Thank You

The friend system is really poor. It's got more functionality than previous UTs and less usability

Hopefully we'll see a charge indicator for the Hellbender rear turret.

Maybe someone at Epic can correct me if I'm wrong, but I always wait for the smoke that emanates from the barrel after firing to dissipate before considering the gun 'charged' for a second shot. Seems to work pretty well, so I always assumed that was the intention.

I wish they'd fix the compatibility. I have a Radeon X1600 and can't run the game unless it's in a window, or it'll crash on me - with both the latest official or Omega drivers.

I'll never understand why it took 3 patches to get a Join and Spectate tab up. Patch 1.2 brought the Join Tab, hopefully Patch 1.3 brings the in game Spectate tab. If it doesn't, well thats pathetic

In a post on the UT3 Servers Mailing List, Steve Polge has revealed Epic is hard at work on Patch 3 for UT3. While there is no release date yet, he has let slip a few features that will be in it:

• Fix for "Package failed to download" in Warfare & VCTF
• Players now listed in the Server Browser

As always, we will keep you informed of any further known changes.

They might want to note that the "Package failed to DL" happens all the time in CTF too... fix will be most welcome since the only way to fix it is exit the game and restart completely.

Patch 3 will be another moment for a happy dance esopecially if we can get a complete Speech Binder and voice menu on the character select screen

fixes to the browser are a very happy thing too!!

This better finally fix the active bot list bug and let offline profiles SAVE their settings... it's getting tiresome.

Brizz, could you ask them about a possible fix for the History feature?
ATM its not showing servers youve joined through the console.

Or maybe a ingame "Add server to Favorites" button like in UT2004.

As it is now UT3 completely ignores servers entered through IP, dunno if its by design or just overlooked.

Give us a standard scoreboard that scales properly with player counts, and shows ping times no matter what!

 

[Bersy]

I'd like to see the following included in 1.3:

1. http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=604873
2. a "sent messages" history.

More emphasis on 1 though...

 

[Bersy]

I'll second this.

 

[indy900]

im really hoping for a fix for disappearing goo/rox. Those affect me more than anything. a friends tab at all times might be nice too. ....... oh and ability to cut/paste/type in serv IP's also

 

[_Lynx]

The friend system is really poor. It's got more functionality than previous UTs and less usability

Right now the Friend actions menu misses Spectate button and may be info on the server friend plays on (there's a lot of space to the left of menu actually).

 

[Tweakd]

Tbh Epic should completely start from scratch with the UI. Although i know that is a bit much to ask.

 

[MonsOlympus]

I'll second this.

I'll third! I wouldnt mind alittle more to the voting either hey so servers dont have to run mods and ruin the stats.

Those bot taunts as well seem to be alittle bugged hey, is it just me or do they float around while playing them?

I'll go with this updated friends stuff as well, its dodgy as.

Perhaps alittle less ammo when grabbing the bio, but hey Im not really expecting gameplay tweaks in patches

Like cause you get a heap right, if you keep it charged alot you get extra ammo because you got the loaded stuff and the stuff in the inventory. I kinda just noticed I run out alot less with that gun than most of the others in DM. Could be why I dont use the stinger as much or something... Oh well just rambling.

Another wierd thingo I found, well okay so theres a nice hole on shangrila from the top floor near the rox down to near the stinger where the shield is... But yeah onto this wierd bug Ive had while running a custom mut and while not is dissapearing legs. Could be my CustChar.ini thingo but I cant be sure, dunno if anyone else has had this.

and an animation bug of sorts

Could be my fault, who knows

YESSS!!!!, that's probly one of the bigger ones for me

 

[JaFO]

Good to hear, if not just because it's comforting to know they're interested in improving on it.

shaky release+solid followup > decent release+ghost support
imo

I'd rather have a game that wasn't so buggy that it needed support.
That way we'd have more bonuspacks ...

You should also realise that you're actually telling Epic that they did the right thing by releasing the game before it was finished ...

Will the patch be ready in time for the first phase of the MSUC ?
And how will that influence the people interested in submitting mods for the contest ?
