Unreal Championship patch actually out

[Riskbreaker]

MS have finally certified the patch and UC will prompt you to grab it when you attempt to go online (required for online play).

Fixes:

1) The T.A.G. Rifle exploit.
2) The Rocket Launcher exploit.
3) All known map exploits.
4) The auto-aim exploit.
5) The novice bot, stats exploit.
6) The message: "No AA" now denotes a server that has auto-aim disabled.
7) The ?ghost-flag? exploit, in CTF matches.
8 ) Joining full servers: UC now checks if there is room in the game... before loading the map.
9) Resolved an occasional crash when joining a friend's match.
10) Resolved issues with Max Players & Private Slots.
11) Players will now receive 1-point of damage when impeding lifts.
12) The translocator disc will return to the gun, if it impedes a lift.
13) Players can no longer utilize the translocator, to pass through world geometry.
14) Anti-aliasing is now disabled by default. To enable it, depress both thumbsticks simultaneously during the initial UC intro video sequence.
15) Team-balancing fixed. The message "Teams Unbalanced", will show up briefly during an existing match, if the teams become unbalanced.

Also available are 3 new DM maps: Inferno, AquaMortis and Leviathan and a new CTF map: OtarosRun.

Looks like I've got a reason to play this title again

Yes but the big question is... what about the framerate.. do you see a notiveable improvement.. only one way to try i guess.

I was never that fussed about the framerate anyway when i rented it. But, if it all runs better now, better get this over the weekend and get online with it.

How long does the download take?

[Riskbreaker]

The main patch is practically instant, the maps are about 3/4 minutes each.

I actually sold this soon after i got iy. The framerate is horrendous

But then i play ut2k3 @ 1024x768 at 80 fps on pc so i guess that doesnt help.

Can u turn the AA off via the patch as i remember them saying at the time that that would give a big fps increase ???

[John Beaulieu]

AA is automatically turned off via the patch - you can turn it back on

I have to say the patch really improved the game, easily as good as wolfenstein in my opinion now.

[geldra]

Yeah i agree, looks miles better with AA off imo. And the frame rate is pretty solid now (there is a little bit of tearing though).

[Flompy]

The patch turns the game from an unplayable mess into a pretty good game, and one that runs smoother then Wolfie seems to in my experiance.
