The Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo patch has just been released, it's a cute little 3meg patch that will make you say awwww! Here's the quick list of fixes included in the patch which you can of course download from FileShack:

- Fixed support for Voodoo3 / Matrox G400. - Fixed initial framerate hitches in network play. - Fixed the jittery screen updates in the server browser when sorting by ping. - Fixed a possible DoS attack in the server code. - Fixed a few other minor potential crashes.

What happened to UT? It used to be nicely integrated into windows. You could cut'n'paste data from say your browser into the in game command line and alt-f4 worked. Now it's like a bad unix program ported to windows.

For whatever reason no matter what I do I just don't like the game. It looks beautiful and the weapons are interesting but there is just someting I cannot name that makes me want to burn the demo with a butane torch.

This patch made my old P3/V3 system finally run the demo and it ran very, very well. I'm very impressed.

I was getting 30-60fps for most of the maps dipping down to the high teens for the large open spaces and yet it was highly playable. Overall about 30fps+.

Epic and Cliffry need some lovin for fixing this so po people can play too.

I'm still playing this on my P4/GF4ti but some of my po brothas are still cursed wif the woodoo.

the way you can fix the weapon switchin problem is to go into the user.ini file.
and set the Priority of all the weapons to 0. the it will not switch to any weapons when you pick one up.

ex.
[XWeapons.FlakCannon]
ExchangeFireModes=0
Priority=0

it worked for me :)

If your Voice menu is not working, find the file called "user.ini" in the System folder, open it and find the line

"V=ShowSpeechMenu"

and change it to

"V=SpeechMenuToggle" (without the quotes of course, and to whatever key you want to use)

Then save it. Viola!
