The
Unreal Technology page has been
updated with a list of known issues with the demo. Thanks Frans at
3D Action
Gamers. Here's the deal:
Known Issues With The Demo
Direct3D
- You need DirectX7 to use Direct3D. Get it on Microsoft's Download
Page.
- Some users of Windows 98 + Sound Blaster live cards + NVidia video cards
are finding the demo locks up on exit, sometimes with the music looping.
Restarting the computer or killing the TournamentDemo.exe application gets
you free.
- In 16-bit color, weapons may interpenetrate walls when you get real close.
- If you have any problems, make sure you have the latest Direct3D
drivers for your card.
Networking
- Occasionally when the server switches levels, users with high-ping
connections may see the "Connecting..." screen appear twice, and
reconnect to the server twice.
- When picking up a weapon, sometimes the animations flicker.
- In 3dfx Glide, if you alt-tab away from Unreal while connected to a
server, you will time out and be disconnected. If running a listen server,
all other clients will time out.
- We have many reports that internet gameplay performance sucks with all
games for users with WebTV installed (particularly the version bundled with
the Voodoo3 3500). Uninstall it.
Audio
- A3D support is back. For A3D support to work properly, you need the latest
drivers from Aureal.
- EAX support is back.
Cosmetic
- Ping doesn't always align right in the scoreboard.
- Ping doesn't show up in scoreboard if resolution X size is less than 640.
