Lots and lots of failure on the Ubisoft side, it's really weak to release a no-cd crack for your own product. I'm guessing you fired all your developers to have more sales peoples?

lols once more...
-Kallisti

Mediocre Company.

This will never gonna be forget in the HISTORY of the GAMING INDUSTRY , Ubisoft"crappy" company have a BIG HUGE BLACK SPOT in it's name NOW. (oh should I say a RASH)



UBISOFT as I told you before YOU ARE GOING DOWN and FAST !!!



NOSEDIVE !!!



The Media and Magazines are HAPPY to see this LOL.



cheerios

Ubisoft really needs to clean up after themselves after this one. It's going to reek and reek for weeks and weeks (maybe even months and months)

They were talking about it at my local Gamestop today. People were surprised when they learned that I was neilthecellist (hahahahahaha)

Nice one Ubi. The hypocrisy (and ineptitude of your employees for not being able to solve these problems themselves) is staggering.

I begin to wonder if the reason there is so little feedback to these boards is not attributable to a lack of regard for the customers but rather because no one there knows what they're doing and are thus unable to speak with any authority on what's happening with their products.

The thing is that Ubisoft is (or at least gives off the impression) that they are a disorganized, inefficient bureaucracy. As with *most* bureaucracies, the speed, efficiency, and spread of date-sensitive knowledge is very slow.

HOWEVER, other game companies, such as 2K Games, or Epic Games, interacts with their customer community all the time.

Take a look at this email/IRC correspondence between the community and the developers:

Remember, this is ONLY for a beta! Ubisoft tech support gets PWNED by Epic. Epic Games treats its community in real-time, and when a problem is detected, it is fixed IMMEDIATELY and is IMMEDIATELY DISTRIBUTED into a next beta (Betas are available usually every 1-3 weeks... Can Ubisoft do this? PSH! Dream on!)

Hi all. We've got second beta of the v1.3 UT3 patch ready to go. You can download it from: http://www.epicgames.com/download/UT3Patch3beta2.exe.



This version addresses many of the issues identified in v1.3 beta 1.



While we feel pretty good about this patch, we're calling it beta for the time being. Please don't distribute it beyond your own servers or make it generally available to the public.



This patch can be applied to both a client and a dedicated server. Patched and non-patched clients and servers should be fully compatible. There are no known issues with applying this patch on a v1.1 or v1.2 patched client/server, but if stability is critical, it's safest to reinstall the retail client/dedicated server prior to installing.



This patch includes all v1.1 and v1.2 fixes.

- Fixed bots not handling the "Hold This Position" order correctly when the player giving the order is in a multi-person vehicle.



Demo playback:

- Fixed demo playback not ending/looping correctly when the demo ends due to the DemoRecSpectator being destroyed before the end of the file is reached.

- Demos can now be paused.

- By default, demo playback now runs at full speed and interpolates in between demo frames using the normal client simulation code. The old frame-locked method is still available by passing ?disallowinterp. Timedemos are unaffected by this change.

where the CustomCrosshairCoordinates have U and V as the offsets into the crosshair texture (UI_HUD.HUD.UTCrosshairs), and UL and VL specify the size of the texture area to use.

To use a different crosshair for a specific weapon, simply add those two lines to the appropriate weapon specific section in UTWeapon.ini.

- Bullseye stats are now properly recorded.

- Fixed clients not travelling to downloaded maps correctly.

- Fixed the client and server getting into a loop sending each other close messages in some situations.

- Quick match incorporates player rating into search decision.

- Fixed issue where Vista clients would not receive all servers from a server browser search.

- Applied proper fix to suppressing voice on dedicated servers.

- Fixed issues with players not getting on right team in Duel and Duel+Survival if a player leaves in certain timing windows during map transitions.

- Added QueryPort configuration and command line option.

- Added an "AdminChangeOption [option] [value]" console command for server admins. This allows changing most simple .ini values (e.g. GoalScore) from the client. This command will not override URL options. The change will take effect after the next map change.

- Added an "AdminPublishMapList" console command for server admins. This overrides the server's map list for the current game type with the one on the client that used the command.

- Uses GameReplicationInfo.ServerName if set for the name of the server on the server browser.

- Improved bot AI with Leviathan in Torlan



Campaign/Co-op:

- Fixed extra copy of a character when a human player leaves a co-op game at the right time.

- Changed network loss during single player to result in player signed in locally.



Modding:

- Added a SupportedGameTypes field to UTUIDataProvider_Mutator. If some entries are in this array, the mutator will only be visible in the menus if the selected gametype is found in the array.

- Fixed custom gametype midgame menus not being used correctly.

- Shipping script compiler now allows localized/config defaultproperties because otherwise autodownloaded mods have no way for their localized/config variables to work.

- Added Get/SetSpecialValue() stubs to Object to allow mods to expose values that can be modified without creating a dependancy.

- Added support for custom gametypes showing up on their own in the server browser. The game class needs to implement UpdateGameSettings() and call GameSettings.SetStringSettingValue() to set CONTEXT_GAME_MODE to CONTEXT_GAME_MODE_CUSTOM. Then, in the gametype's menu .ini data, set GameSearchClass to "UTGameSearchCustom".

- Fixed cooking a map sometimes deleting all other mod files in the Published directory

- Fixed bPostRenderIfNotVisible flag

Beta 1 released: 3 june 2008
Beta 2 released: 19 june 2008


After 2 weeks, no changes. Only minor errors that thought that
eliminated. Since the mind can get off. After a couple of years will
be fine to play this game, but in the meantime, some mistakes!

UT3 Crashes out when im conducting local host vctf games when, usually when attempting to fire a vehicles weapon - notoriously on the Raptor, Goliath main gun and the Hellfire SPMA,

I have not been playing anything else, and they reproduce on multiplayer games without AI.

Amigos - It would be retarded to start introducing new fixes into a
patch you are trying to release during the beta stage - the idea is to
fix issues with the patch, not to introduce new ones.

Some additional details (logs and more precice instructions, for example) would certainly help the guys at Epic fixing that issue.

Two bugs.

In Patch 1.2 If i typed an ip 'open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx' into the console and it needed a password i would be given a message, this game required you to enter a password. Or im sure it did. If i forget the password now, i get nothing and go back to the main menu.

Also i tried to follow a player in my friends list yesterday, only each and everytime to be directed back to the main menu!
Maybe they don't have 1.3 or the server didn't run 1.3, but would that really cause me such an issue?

Hi Bob. Are you saying these instabilities were introduced in v1.3? In other words, you never experienced these kinds of crashes on v1.0-v1.2, but only since applying v1.3?



Thanks.



Jeff

To be fair, i didnt play VCTF until about a month ago after upgrading my computer to quad core, so i didn't test it out too heavily before then, but yes, this instability is since i added the beta patches. It usually occurs about 8 minutes into gameplay, if that helps, although its occured promptly (within the first minute) of joining the game.

The issues may be system related, but no other OpenGL or DirectX games have issues on my system. It may be important to also note that the issues are intermittent. I was able to play, the other night, after it crashed 4 times in a row, for a full hour before it resumed crashing. The server has no mods/mutators and changed maps alternating between suspense, sandstorm, and containment.

AMD Phenom 9500+

Thanks Bob, we’ll try to repro it locally. Can you do it solely offline with bots or does it need to be online?

This is happening to me too, but all the time, not just when joining by IP address. This error appears in the log:

Log: Pending connect to 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/UTFrontEnd?name=Player?team=1?Class=' failed; Server is already at capacity.

so it happens when there previously would have been a "server full" message displayed.

Here are some bugs that are still present in 1.3. I can't remember if these have been mentioned before:

* When picking up armour, both armour and ammo counts on the HUD are pulsed instead of just armour count, and picking up ammo pulses nothing (UTHUD.DisplayAmmo uses ArmorPulseTime instead of AmmoPulseTime).

* A multiplayer game with no bots and one human player will gain one bot when the player leaves.

* Can hammer-jump over gates behind flag in blue base of VCTF-Kargo to get outside map.

* Log spam when locking a node with the orb. Always happens when the round ends, and sometimes during the round too.
ScriptWarning: UTOnslaughtPowernode_Content WAR-Islander_Necris.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.UTOnslaughtPowernode_Content_1 (Function UTGame.UTOnslaughtPowernode:VerifyOrbLock:0056) Accessed None 'CheckedFlag'

* No "back" button in favourites menu.

And a new one that didn't exist before 1.3:

* Can no longer grab hoverboard in multiplayer games (i.e. pressing fire while jumping). It may only happen with high ping or when playing on 1.2 servers, because it works offline and when I try it on a local server.

This was confirmed in servers' list before as being the incompatibility issue
between 1.2 servers and 1.3 clients. Epic modified the hoverboard
netcode and it results in that issue. It shouldn't pose a problem when
1.3 will be released.

It's an unavoidable side effect of a fix which will make hoverboarding significantly smoother in net games on 1.3.

Steve,

I know you wrote about this somewhere else, but I simply cannot find it anymore.

Can you explain the two "Demo Guy" problems that exist so I can at least tell people what the cause of it is?

Thanks
Brizz

Crosshair scaling is broken when using CustomCrosshairCoordinates.

By broken I mean the crosshair stops down scaling half way on the slider. It's not scaling the crosshairs small enough. For example I like a very small ring, not a dot but a ring "O". In 1.2, I could scale it down to the perfect size. However in 1.3, it's way to big and the scaling property won't let me downsize it enough.

For some reason the LinkGun still scales like it should be, like it did in 1.2.

Thanks.

i'm not sure if this is specific to this version, or if this even a bug, and i'm just being a mongloid here, but i'm missing the dropdown box where i can select animsets in the skeletal mesh editor.

right now, every single skeletalmesh i import and want to edit gets dumped into the orb dispenser animations.
if i want to import animations via that window, i get an error telling me i can't perfo

neil, your post is kind of a double edged sword....one might wonder why epic released a game which needed so many fixes in the first place. Of course sum of all those problems fixed are anywhere near as bad as the soundloop is itself.

If you compare Ubisoft to Epic, Ubisoft is pretty pathetic. I always supported them but i cant really cover their @$$ here. To me, they seem lazy, like they barely want to do any work other than release another "would-be-great-IF-it-was-finished game".

They are starting to look like a joke, I only hope more developers take notice so that they point the finger at Ubi and insult them on their pathetic way of business. I wish this cause i think it might be the only thing other than near bankruptcy that will make Ubi get their **** together.

UT3 might have complaints (and I know it does, believe me) But Ubisoft vs. Epic? PLEASE!

Epic totally wins at tech support.

Does Ubisoft release beta patches weekly? I didn't think so.

Does Ubisoft offer IRC chatrooms for gamers to post problems about their custom content and have AT LEAST TWO (sometimes even THREE) Epic Inc. developers come in and offer REAL advice to its customers?

Does Ubisoft apologize for its inconvenience? Well, yeah it does.

Does Epic apologize for its inconvenience? Nope, Epic gives you FIXES IMMEDIATELY instead! :P

Viva La Unreal Tournament!

You know that Epic has done the exact same thing in the last UT2004 patch?

The pirate hack is property of UBISoft so if they want to take it and release it they can legally do it.

Could you give me the cliff notes version of the newsgroup copy/paste.

What really ****es me off is that it makes Montreal look bad.(I live here as does Ubi hq).

Ubi headquarters are actually in France (same with Vivendi).

Small and upstart companies like Stardock and BFS are gonna wipe the floor with big companies though. While they might not sell millions and millions of copies of their games, they listen to their fans and create games that their fans want and at least Stardock doesn't include BS copyright protection schemes, but they do not fix it so pirates can play easily.

This subject has already been raised and discussed at length and Ubi Vigil has stated that the matter is under investigation.

Please do not re post threads which have already been locked.

Thanks
