Waiting on UT2K3

by Steve Gibson, Sep 13, 2002 4:11pm PDT

Related Topics – Unreal Tournament 2003, CliffyB

*Twiddles thumbs* Yeah, hanging out all evening waiting on that UT2K3 demo. This is your official thread to describe the things you would do for CliffyB if he would just release the demo already. We are confirmed to be hosting the demo on FileShack the moment it's made available, and we've actually bumped up some of our capacity to handle things. Of course the bummer though is FileShack has grown quite significantly in traffic levels and we're at over a quarter million registered users. So I imagine there will be lines, and as you guys know if there is one thing that we have that big red BETA sign on FileShack for, it's because our lines/estimates totally suck. :) Keep an eye on FileShack.com as it will appear there first, and on Shacknews.com moments later. When will it be out? No clue, it might not even be this evening... but this evening sure would be convenient! update! It's coming tonight for sure. Epic just finished uploading it to Infogrames, so now it needs to be disto'd to us.. and we wait for all the other mirrors to be ready and its release time. When will that be? Dunno.. within an hour or two sounds reasonable.

So far I like it. Weapons are cool, although the minigun is a bit underwhelming - I like my chainguns LOUD. The maps are very well done too.

As usual, you better have a good ping to the server or things are... not so good.

Shit. It froze after about a minute and a half of just walking around. Then again BF1942 would also freeze/BSOD/crash after 30 seconds of walking around, and the last Win2K install I did was back in December 2001, so maybe it's my machine. I did NOT want to go through this though.

So there I am, waiting in line. 18 seconds for your download to start.

And as the download is about to start.. "Bad username (timmXXX) or incorrect password. It is also possible that you are not logged in. Please go to the login page and try your download again."

WTF? I'm logged in, and have been for the last few weeks. I know for sure that the cookie is set right as I downloaded something earlier today, too.

What's worse? It won't let me godamn logout and re-login. Trying to delete the cookie resulted in "Welcome to FileShack timmXXX.". (Completely fresh IE spawned, too).

I can download now, though (144kb/sec. Yeah baby). Weird?

One of the more benevolent EULA's I've seen, though it still prohibits you from "modifying" the demo software. Haha.

This was funny, though :

10. Enjoyment Requirements. We are aware that there are rumblings and grumblings within the gaming community about heavy handed, legally onerous license agreements. You have our word that this one is as fair and even handed as it gets and, as you have read this far, you know it to be true. Now, be gone from this screen and enjoy the Demo Software, and if you like it, be sure to tell all your friends how great it is and make sure they try it, too!
