UT2004 Patch 3321 (Beta) Changelog

[riahc3]

Thanks DjmUK :)

[Symbiotic Hat]

SP2 conflict? didn't know of any problems. In the 3321 updates is a fix called:

- UT2K4 works with WinXP SP2 firewall

So maybe that's what you're after.

If not, then it's a case of reinstalling the game (maybe a DirectX 9.0c problem occured during installation of SP2, because UT2004 is based upon the DX API's).

I had DX9.0c before I got SP2 and it worked fine. My problem is. When I start the game I cannot pass the intro movies (not that I really care that much) then I can navigate the menu to start a game but when I get in a game nothing works. It's like my keyboard and mouse gets unplugged. I can't exit the game so I ALT+TAB to get to windows so I can kill the game but then the PC reboots when I try. I've tried different drivers beta and WHQL. It only started after installing SP2.

hope the patch comes out quick

That's unusual. I have DirectX 9.0c, WinXP-SP2, WHQL Drivers (Nvidia 61.77). Maybe if you uninstall the game (and then manually remove ALL files left over in the UT2004 directory). Reinstall the game, apply the latest patch and see if that helps.

Because there were only 5 minor updates in this patch, it's possible that it could be the final version. But this is unconfirmed, as soon as it becomes official then I'll post here & BPN the information.

[Blackhearted]

thats why ive been weary about updating to sp2 and held back..id rather not sacrifice the ability to play UT since ive heard about people having trouble after instaling sp2.

I've had no issue with SP2, if it's just the firewall that is the cause maybe add UT to the exception tab > add program?

[DjmUK]

The patch sorted out the XP-SP2 problem.

New Information (From Epic)

The patch will be released very soon. The bonuspack, with the new vehicles, maps, and characters, will be released shortly after UT2004 ECE is available in stores, which should be sometime late in September.

[kairon]

Can't wait for UT2004ECE. Don't own UT2004 yet so this will be nice to have it all in one spot.

[masterkkkk]

So this new patch(s) will fix the turret glitches that 3270 brought on when playing online in onslaught?

(When first jumping into the turret, first person).

[DjmUK]

The turret glitches are primarily caused via the server-side bandwidth. Although with this new patch I haven't noticed any missing turrets :)

[VG11489]

well havent noticed anything wrong with ut with sp2 but i guess other people do

Thanks for all the great info, Epic has been so good at improving UT, they make it better it better all the time. I've tried to submit a bug in the past that I doubt they know about. Here is my best description of it:

In the Configure Controls list you can bind the Scoreboard to appear only when you hold the button down or you can bind it to toggle (Hit the key once for it to appear, hit it again for it to go away) I have tried to bind the Scoreboard to the TAB key (As it is in most FPS games, instead of F1) and I have it set to HOLD down the key to view it and when you release the key it goes away. The bind itself works fine. However sometimes in game when I'm viewing the Scoreboard and still walking around it will get "Stuck" up on the screen. The only way to make it disappear is to hit the ESC key, nothing else will work, including hitting the TAB key again. This has been a bug since the original version of the game and has not worked since. Maybe you can e-mail your contact about this. Thanks again for the change log on the new patch. Very good stuff coming our way!

I've also PMed you this information DjmUK.

*About the SP2 Issues, I haven't had any issues. The Windows XP 2 Firewall notice popped up under the game but I tabbed out and unblocked UT2K4 so it can still go online. Its been working fine for me in offline and online play.

What can i do to minimize it?

It only happened in 3270 for me, the earlier patch was fine :(

[DjmUK]

Have you tried the beta 3323, if not don't worry - wait a few days and the new patch will be available (which might fix the problem for you).

Hehe, that's as old as the UE2.0 engine! ;)

Anyways, the final will be announced soon :)

Your just a troll is all. Nothing but complaints, about Valve, about Fileplanet, you always find something to complain about. The lines on FP is only a few hours max, is that so hard to wait or are you really that impatient?

*Goes back to his FilePlanet subscription that everyone seems to think is soooo expensive.* Well guess what people, you run a site as large as FilePlanet with the exclusives it has and I'd like to see you run servers across the world with no waiting and fast speeds. :angry:

[VG11489]

um ok.. back to the subject at hand anyone knows when the final will come out

[DjmUK]

Again, please read previous replies - there is no official date yet. As a beta tester we don't know when it will be released, but we're told within 2 weeks.
