Hey gP, thanks for the heads up, I still come here to see if anything new is happening, even though it's mostly quiet. I dont like the whole forum thing so whatever is here is all I see. :) I don't suppose anyone knows when the linux version is due? -- sid RLU 300284 Mandriva 2008 X86_64 2.6.22.9

There was a FilePlanet version of the demo that required a key to open but AFAIK this version is key free. Also the tracker reports itself as failing but the torrent will in fact finish. Installing is taking a long time, it seems the physics engine is a large part of the engine now.

The eye candy is a leap forward (as you would think) but the "jumpy" physics are gone. It seems much more realistic now.

Make your time!! > Kill em all let god sort them out. First impressions Well I spent a long time downloading and installing thanks in part to an inexplicable descision to use mickysnot " .net " to interface the install so I imagine linux users are going to have a problem . In order to get online you must set up a profile so that should end the player 3 et al problem and in the UK due to an act of programming genuis it will not allow you to put in the @ symbol this is needed as to setup a profile after setting the user name and password you have to put in your email address -pressing @ just opens a console line in the end having tried the any key and every key I just typed in "at" so I don't expect feedback off Epic any time soon. The default settings do not give the sidestep using the left or right cursor keys these are set to turn r/l it becomes evident when a bot shoots you up and you cant dodge instead you need to bind the keys to strafe r / l strafe does not give simutaneous firing - or did I just bind that to UT myself it was a long time back either way.getting online well it recognised available servers but couldn't connect probably as well till I get a little practice.Thennit crashed in a big way with several grovelling apologies popping up Nick-Dastardly

Weird because that should be the default. Maybe you could look in the ini file and see if you can edit your login info? I've played all day today without any problem. The maps load faster and the game seems more "polished". Still get some odd hitching now and again but I can't tie that to anything in particular. There are going to be some spectacular maps when the editor is released...

Now I have just done a clean install of XP on a new HDD ( running out of space) and intended to keep the old drive as slave and run UT3 off the previous install but no way so it must need .net to run will I reinstall? no I don't think so I don't think the beta is close to a release version no doubt we shall she more feedback one way or the other but more important I am not having .net installed just to play a game I regard it as little better than licenced spyware.

That cleared about 80% of it up. It should be a sticky for any Nvidia user. Tell you what, I'll speak to your mailman and get your junkmail reduced this month :) Hopefully this sort of thing will get fixed in the optimization phase, plus the NV drivers need to catch up also. Thanks for the link.......Now I have NOTHING to blame for dying repeatedly.
