Official UT Demo Released!

Sep 28, 1999 2:26pm CST tags: Unreal Tournament, Demo
Here you guys go, word from the Unreal Tournament page of the full UT demo release which works with Glide, Direct3D, and OpenGL acceleration. Not to mention a software renderer for those of you who are 3D challenged. You can of course check out all of the changes made here. The Gigex guys have posted one of their download tools which are usually super fast. You can also grab the patch Make sure and check out the Shack Unreal Tournament messageboard.

update: A few more locations for the full demo. WarZone FilePlanet 3DGamers Unreal Universe 3DFiles and the patch: 3DGamers Unreal Universe FilePlanet. Thanks Blue

The full version of the new demo (55Mb) is now released. Modem users can download it from Gigex here - this is a resumable download so if your modem connection dies during the 55Mb download you can still get the file without starting the whole download over. Those using really fast connections and those behind firewalls should try here which is a more normal FTP-style download.

The patch for the existing 3DFX demo (10Mb) is also available now. Modem users can download it from Gigex at here - this is a resumable download so if your modem connection dies during the 10Mb download you can still get the file without starting the whole download over. Those using really fast connections and those behind firewalls should try here which is a more normal FTP-style download. 

Win some UT goodies: If you download either version through Gigex, and provide your email address, you could be one of 50 lucky winners (chosen at random) to receive a long-sleeve, black UT T-shirt or be the one lucky winner to get a very exclusive Unreal Tournament leather jacket! Details appear with the download.

Also, as many of you guys know AVault, and subsequently myself are responsible for posting a patch release which apparently was not intended for release. Sorry about that one, here is word from GreenMarine on that whole episode:

A few versions of the final demo that were not intended for release have been released on various news sites. We made these builds of the demo so that server operators could set up servers. Unfortunately, a few unscrupulous server operators decided to release these builds on webpages. This only causes to create confusion. We have been working with GT on synchronizing a release and have been working on final issues with the demo. Specifically, a test patch for upgrading the 3dfx only version of the demo was made available. This patch worked, but lacked the new DeathMatch map being released with the final demo. We pulled the patch, but various news sites had already made it available without our authorization.

File: UTDemo338.exe Size: 55,603,712 bytes Description: This is the final demo.
File: UTDemo338cPatch.exe Size: 9,892,864 bytes Description: This is the patch to update the 3dfx demo to the final demo.
