"Fixed AVRiL rare case where it dealt double damage on hit."

Nice!

Oh, nothing that jumps out at me as being on my wishlist. But that's understandable because epic has fixed a lot of the things on my wish and whine list already. My list is getting quite small now. GG epic!

Something really jumps out for me. I haven't tried Beta 3 yet, so I am asking if it is fixed:

Does anybody know if the huge, annoying signs over your opponents heads' that got introduced with Patch 2.0 are made optional now.
They really put me off playing and I haven't found anything to remove them.

They're not optional, but they're much smaller.

i noticed something weird in the betas 1 and 2:

even though i have never disabled it in earlier versions weapon stay suddenly defaults to off (and i can't enable it...?!). however, bots are still able to pick up a weapon even if it has already been taken and has not yet respawned.

I think that is a new feature. Everyone was talking about it a little while back.

This is the feature that weapon-pickups now work like weaponlockers. The weapon is picked up for each player individually. So if you picked it up you can only pick it up later again, but for the other players it is still pickable until they walk over it.

Very good to hear.

i see. but i don't really get the point. the only advantage that this new feature brings with it is that the weapon pickup also works as an ammo pickup - or is there something else i'm missing here?

We're getting closer...

One fix i havnt seen yet is (or its in the previous patches that i dont have) a fix to UTEngine.ini problems.

Occasionally when im closing out of Unreal Editor, for some reason the UTEngine.ini config file becomes 90% smaller in file size and when viewed about 90% of the text is gone. So I have to then delete the ini, rerun UT3 up to recreate it. From there I have to reenter my key code and such. Another issue that it causes though is whatever file I was working on before I closed UED, is not screwed and will crash UED, be it a map or say a .upk.

Glad to see progress is moving fast unlike prior patches (then again, it has been like a year and a half)

It's a feature. Weapons only don't stay on a player basis, just like the weapon lockers always have. This allows you to repickup a weapon for more ammo solving the problem on vehicle maps where there's hardly any avril ammo.

:tup::tup: This will be greatly appreciated playing against bots on VTCF-Sandstorm and Suspense.
