A week after the Win32 update, Icculus has released new patches for Unreal Tournament 2004 to bring the Linux and Mac OSX editions of the multiplayer first-person shooter by Epic Games to version 3339 too. As before, this release applies more gameplay tweaks, bug fixes, and other changes as detailed in the release notes, and the Mac version also includes the updated Editor's Choice Edition bonus pack while the Linux patch requires the original bonus pack to be installed first.

General Gameplay:
  • Fixed Berserk combo (properly turns client side weapon changes on and off)
  • Fixed quadjump mutator in multiplay (was only allowing regular double jump on first jump)
  • Fixed gamespeed mutator "sticking" in instant action games
  • Don't let Cicada passengers carry flag (for VCTF)
  • Added OnslaughtBP.UCL to patch so bonus pack mutators will show up
  • Fixed problem with landing view shake sometimes not working at very low frame rates
  • Fixed bug where not all actors got NotifyTeamChanged() when client team changed
  • etc...

"Natural challenges with finalizing all the key features and localization issues across worldwide territories have led to the difficult choice of pushing back the release date," SCEA said in a statement, "in order to ensure that Gran Turismo 4 lives up to the exacting standards of the 36 million-plus fans worldwide that have purchased previous versions."

The delay leaves egg on the face of Sony, who only last week held a high profile party in Tokyo to celebrate the "completion" of the game, and which previously removed the much-vaunted online functionality from the title in order to ensure that it came out in time for Christmas.

There's some speculation that this fresh delay - which may also have a knock-on impact on the launch date of the European version, which had already been delayed into Q1 2005 - will give the firm time to reintegrate the online component, but Sony has so far not commented on this possibility, and is still officially planning to launch a separate online-enabled Gran Turismo product later next year.
