UT2003 Demo Patch Coming Today?

Published by

Epic Games' Mark Rein and Tim Sweeney both gave away information of a patch supposedly to be released today. Mark Rein posted in the official forums about broken Voodoo 3 and 5 support due to a last minute programming mistake. The patch also is said to address other bugs that were encountered since the release of the demo. Tim Sweeney posted on the official Unreal Technology page that the patch will be released today: We'll be releasing a small patch tomorrow. This will fix a number of reported bugs, and also serve as the first public test of UT2003's new auto-update feature. There was a bug in the server browser that caused it to crash frequently under heavy load. This wasn't triggered until thousands of servers came online. We found a master server-side fix for this so the problem should be gone now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
