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.
That only works for a very small number of games. I tried that with Doom 3 a while ago and it wouldn't take it.
I am quite pleased to see that Epic has apparently listened to its customers and decided to fix some of the glaring issues. I, for one, will be much happier to see the advanced video options page actually be an advanced video options page and not a 1-to-5 slider on "detail", among other things.
My only fear is that it will come too late, after the damage has been done. But they are willing to mend it for people willing to give the game another chance after its first showing, so that's good.
We shall see.

wait a second... i just went over the list again and... it says DARKMATCH 
i can't wait for this patch/bonus pack thing
well, just take a look at UT2003 -> UT2004. to me this biiiiiig pack sounds pretty similar (just as the bitching about UT3 sounds really similar to the bitching about UT2003) and judging by its success UT2004 did not really come too late.

indeed it does: Added slight player glow support for darkmatch (maps with DARKMATCH at start of worldinfo name
We haven't seen that in what? 8 years?
I'm pretty good in it, but for a lot of people that thing is a deathtrap.
To be honest, I would've liked to see the range on the cannon increased as opposed to the health, but hey, I'll have to worry less about Scorpions and Vipers slamming into me, now.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind if they nearly doubled the Goliath's and Darkwalker's health. I want a long drawn out battle between the two.
(better increase levi a bit too if this becomes the case...which it won't...but...you know)

United Kingdom is not a country.
I hope i can add my UT3 CE to Steam when that time comes (and not be forced to buy it again)
Does this mean Epic will be ditching Gamespy for Steam? (fingers crossed they will)

I'm wondering this as well, although I doubt it will happen with a patch (could be entirely wrong here). Given Midway's dubious future, I wouldn't be surprised if Epic strikes out on their own with Steam (and GOG to a lesser extent) as their content provider at some point in the near future. Not sure what this means in terms of retail sales, but anyone who has been following Epic since the early 90's knows they're no stranger to digital distribution as they started out as a shareware company.
Steam's community features would be a very good step up from what they were trying to accomplish with the Gamespy pairing. If they can run their own Master Server it would certainly be a great (and probably well received) replacement.
Ideally Steam would allow them to push out smaller bugfixes without needing to resort to large patches like this (which is comparable to an MMO patch in terms of fixes), something that probably should've been done over the course of the last year in order to keep people marginally interested in the game. Although, Valve has found that bigger patches tend to get more attention (free publicity on news sites!) so maybe it's just as well.

Now you guys have NO EXCUSE not to play!

Hopefully the fact? that they ran out of CD-keys when UT3 were sold on Steam opened their eyes.
Anyway, reading the whole patchlist, its certainly a step in the right direction.

This all looks great and im very excited: but:
I didnt see anything about fixing the trigger (for doors etc) in the game

People will still find excuses, sadly. Like those who think the gameplay is fundamentally flawed.
Well those are people who either really suck at the game and don't know how to play it or people who just can't adjust to change.People will still find excuses, sadly. Like those who think the gameplay is fundamentally flawed.
