Hey,
I thought it is worth to create an extra thread about this
Here is a preview of the
1st beta of the new patch, called 2.0.
First, the splash screen has completely been changed.
It's now black and more different.
The main menu looks kinda different.
You _Dark_ guys may like it^^
It is not always the same menu as you can see.
Ah and you now have to double click on any menu (that sucks if you ask me - I hope it will be changed in the final version):
Epic said the new patch will bring more graphics options ingame.
There are indeed a lot of new graphics options:
Here you have some other menu screenshots with some new options:
(As you can see, 2 new modes will come - last screenshot of this part).
Ok, the new weapon locker system is now better.
You can pickup weapons as often as you want but with 2 conditions:
The 1st it will take time until it respawns again (I remember something with 25 seconds) and 2nd you cannot pickup full ammo.
The Link Gun's limit will still be 100.
If you find separate ammo, it will be full of course!
(Would be too easy if you run to all weapon lockers in your base to have full ammo).
Another great thing is that "setbind key throwweapon" now works.
You can throw away all weapons except your hammer.
Perfect if you have the Redeemer but don't want to use it because another team mate would need it more than you.
(Not sure if it works for the Deployables too).
Here some screenshots:
The problem with the invisible players on the scoreboard should be fixed as well:
The nodes in Warfare will be changed too.
The 1st screenshot may look as always, but I'm sure it's still different.
(I guess the screenshot is not very good).
The other one should be definitely different.
You now see the name of the node at the upper and lower part.
(I did not compare it with 1.3 but I'm sure it's new):
The Link Gun has a new effect.
You should see it here:
The Manta crouch exploit is fixed.
It's very difficult to get under the water.
So I would say it's finally fixed!
I have the feeling Epic are actually trying to fix the Goliath and barricade issue.
It seems to be impossible to drive backwards through the barricades.
(I hope it's not old^^).
UT3 should support Client Demo recording now.
I tested it (needed some trials to get the command).
However, it did not work.
No idea if I have to be online:
Names of enemy players are now visible in matches (not sure if only DeathMatches):
During a match, you can easily send a message to a player by double clicking on his/her/its^^ name:
Some other things:
The following bugs of my list are confirmed as
fixed until now:
(* means look the note at the end)
06. Some player names are not displayed on scoreboard
18. Auto taunts still do not work properly
20. Manta crouch exploit
28. Announcer gives wrong or bad pieces of advice*
32. Nightshade sometimes shows wrong mines in its weapon tab
47. Redeemer ceiling bug
48. Picking up weapon attachments while shooting gives an unfair advantage
*28: Very cheap because Epic have just removed all "attack the..." announces.
Around 23 bugs are confirmed as
NOT fixed.
The rest is unkown.
A new bug comes with the patch, the Avril reload exploit.
It is possible to shoots Avril very fast just by getting on the hoverboard (or getting in a vehicle) during the shots. The whole reload animation will be skipped and you can shoot very fast Avrils.
The Manta hurricane flight has NOT been fixed now and the Impact Hammer jump with Manta too.
Very strange. The Goliath's new health is now 900!
The new patch replaces the current OpenAL32.dll with another (simpler) version which won't let the game crash on X-Fi cards. However, since there is a work-around for users with X-Fi + X-Ram cards, I recommend to rename the wrap_oal.dll (408 KB) to OpenAL32.dll.
(But not now, because now it is as it should be - they only change it with patch 2.0 - cheap trick again^^)
EditI've changed the title and fixed some grammar mistakes.
OK, Greets :D
