Yea I got that UDamage you so badly wanted, then died about 2 seconds later. Probably by Dark Pulse >.<
Hey people, do you know if this patch actually has increased performance? Because I'm considering buying it, yet having only 20 FPS isn't all that good. Yet if the performance was improved, I wouldn't have any problems there!
From Steam? Or the .exe from the steamapps folder?
I also looked on the Epic forums, and one of the threads linked to a BU forum thread that is gone now, something about a msvcr8.dll something or other. Another fix people had was deleting fx_lensflare.upk, but he said that didn't do anything either. :-|
Downloading it now from Steam.
You know what? It's good to be excited about something Unreal related for a change.
Will be checking this bad boy out all night. Looks like Epic has taken some steps to rectify their image with their "bread and butter" crowd. The free Steam weekend is great. It should bring a modest number of people to the game. The sale helps too.
All in all, I really can't complain. I'm sure it's not perfect, but you point out one thing in this world that is.

I turned into a demoguy (but not the other players) after the server I was on switched map :O
For me the game feels smoother and more responsive (the mouse input seems waaay better) and I quite like the new maps and gametypes. At least, the little I've tested so far :]

Well spent some more time with it.
Pluses
+Titan mutator is fun
+Greed and Betrayal are pretty good, especially betrayal. I can see someone making lots of enemies in that gametype.
+The maps that I did play were well done.
+Server browser is much better
+Movement actually seemed quicker and mouse sensativity felt better, though I still hate the way it is set up in the menu
Minuses
-AI SUCKS in Greed. They wouldn't go after skulls for beans
-Scroll too fast in the map list and it freezes for a split second. Might be resolution based since Epic still hasn't gotten through their heads that a map as the main menu is STUPID.
-Still won't keep settings for number of bots, difficulty, etc when changing maps.
-Titan mutator could be a tad overpowered with the homing rockets and stuff.
Overall it will be fun for a couple weeks, but I don't seem myself coming back in the long run.

Loading times for maps is a no brainer. But when the menu freezes going from say... Settings back to the Main Menu, I have to ask wtf. Seriously. What is it doing that's taking so long?
I'm having a slew of performance problems that I never had before with this patch, on most maps there will be a particular direction that I can't look in... with about 200 fps everywhere else and 40 in that direction, never had the problem before, but then again I haven't played in a long, long time, so it isn't necessarily correlated with the patch. If anyone knows anything about what causes it/how to fix it, PM me.
I love greed. I thought it sounded gimmicky on paper, but it has a lot of depth to it now that I got to actually play it. I love how it emphasises sticking together to conserve points, and it's a huge buzz when you're carrying around 30 points and wondering whether to grab health/armor or just go for it. I find myself asking if the enemy base is clear, asking for backup, trying to get an idea of where the enemy players are or how long it is since they respawned, and all sorts of tacticy goodness.
The new maps seem a bit cleaner, which is awesome considering one of my fundamental complaints about UT3 is how visually busy some of the maps are.
