Hey are the awards you get still there if I uninstall & reinstall(actually gonna install to a newer hard drive) and log into my profile? Oh and I haven't registered with steam. Are there any prerequisites like having to migrate my user profile in the save data folder? Anyone knows?

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.

If you install a new OS, all you should have to do is just copy the files over. The awards stuff is stored on Gamespy's servers, however, so as long as you can remember your login you should be good to go.
Talking about achievements, if you have custom content, do you still unlock them if you play maps online, in pure servers?
And how come achievements are stored in GameSpy, aren't they Steam Achievements?

He said he hasn't registered with Steam, so he's talking about the ones built into the game. (Blue Streak, Bio Hazard, Big Game Hunter, Rocket Scientist, etc.) Those ones are stored on Gamespy's servers.
The steam ones, obviously, won't work for him at all unless he steams his copy of UT3.

Well, one could do a real quick test: Backup and wipe your config files, and then try logging in. If everything "comes back" then those are stored on Gamespy's servers as well.
I would bet they are locally stored. When you go into view stats there is a minute or so of waiting until you get it from gamespy. With these achievements, they are up instantly. Just a guess of course.
But if they are stored locally and can be spoofed, what's the point? If I all of a sudden steam my copy using the methods to allow me not to download, and all of them transfer, it really exposes them as the gimmick they are.

d3tox, what makes you think that if they're locally stored, they can be spoofed? You can encrypt local drives and they will be unspoofable, unless you try to decode them the whole decade. If achievements are synced with the server, they are probably sent coded, even up to MD5, and there's no way you can decode that.
And I think that if you have Steam, they are synchronised, because Steam community pages on the Internet update your achievements.
