I thought the original UT was some sort of game show? Were they battled in a virtual enviroment? But UT3 has changed the story and now its more like its supposed to be real.

UT has always been set in the Unreal universe, where Unreal itself was initially single player orientated. You got to fight various indigenous lifeforms and you meet the skaarj who seem to be in the middle of an invasion. In both 1 and 2 of the unreal series you are fighting the skaarj mainly. UT does exist in the same universe as a highly profitable galaxy-wide entertainment, founded by the liandri corporation. I think UT3 mixes unreal with unreal tournament a bit with it's story. Though i'm sure epic will also release an Unreal 3 aswell.

Necris haven't really been in unreal, and have only existed so far in UT with not much of a backing story till now.

Also the environments aren't virtual, they're meant to be real and every batte ground worthy complex is bought up by liandri and then converted into a arenas. In UT3, they're supposed to be parts of real civilian environments and not arenas.

Looking at some of these game threads, Vista 64 seems to be creating problems for quite a few games, I have got Vista Home Premium and had no issues with games running etc... Was looking to upgrade to 64 version, but now having second thoughts... Hope you sort out your UT3 Special Edition M8.

Have no really had any problems with Vista64 with regards to games myself. Unless you count that everything is a little slower than XP.
 
Running on vista 64 and it keeps freezing periodically every minute. Soo frustrating when ** about to kill someone then *freeze* and 5 seconds later you're dead.

Had exactly the same issue on UT2k4 with a totally different PC in a different part of the country. Never got fixed by any patches. What is it with epic games???
 
Yeah i get the freezing aswell on Vista 64, i have it all max settings at 1920x1200 and i can play it for about 5mins perfectly smooth then the freezing starts, sometimes it will just crash. I wouldn't worry, it's a common problem over at the epic forums and everyone is using different configurations and different operating systems, so it isn't applied to just one thing.

A patch could be here before christmas a Beta Patch 2 Changelog is released, but no download links yet.

How do you save the game in campaign mode? When I quit it doesn't have a resume option.

Performance is great 60fps constant, 1680x1050, everything maxed out.
 
Strange thing is, its been running fine for a few days on Vista for me. The freezing other people are getting only started tonight for me.

Have also been having problems in COD4 with Punkbuster kicking me.

All this started after updating Punkbuster last night, so I wonder if that is not the culprit.
 
I'm having some sort of display problem on the Gateway level with specs in sig and Cat 11 drivers.

Seems to be where light is supposed to be streaming down.

The graphics tweaks mentions, do they have a fps impact? I dont have time to look at the whole thread atm so was asking.

Just got my copy of UT3 at bout 7 right now :D, my dad hidden it from me :p

Yes they do. Not sure by how much, but you get more FPS. Also when all the (imo) crap depth of field etc. is off, the game looks much sharper.
 
my game runs perfectly for about 10 mins, then all of a sudden the driver will shut down and restart. after that, its jerking around like mad.

seen the forums over at epic and none of the ideas work. really starting to annoy the hell out of me.
