Unreal Tournament 3 - SP Campaign - how do you save?

Hi guys,

As the title suggests, how do I save my game in the Single player campaign mode of Unreal Tournament 3?

It does it automatically somewhere between when you win a match, and return back to the world map.

Sorted, just spotted that - I've only just started playing but a friend was also wondering this too. Thanks mate.

Sorry to change topic a tad, UT3 single player. Is it again just deathmatch etc against AI? Or is there a storyline?

There is a storyline, with cut-scenes, and you get to pick and chose matches at various points during the story.
You can, if you want, play a public game to advertise your game for other players to join on the server browser.

So its a storyline based around "matches"? Rather than the original Unreal storyline?

Basically matches, yup, it's not too bad, for me personally I dip into and out of it every couple of days or so, as apposed to playing it constantly. It's quite good, and you do feel a sense of progression, nothing like Unreal 2, though.

I've just been away from the PC and so I have restarted UT3 and when I go to campaign I only get the option to start a new campaign. I cannot continue its not even in the list.

Do you know why this is?

Is the rest of your profile working ok ? e.g. starting up and logging on, settings etc etc.
Try doing an entire system restart, to see if that kicks it in, if not; re-name the /my docs/my games/UT3 folder to something different, start UT3 up again (so it regenerates all the folders) quit out and copy (definitely not cut and paste) your data back into the UT3 folder, see if that knocks it back in.

I haven't registered an account, I just hit play offline straight away. Should I create a profile etc?

Just spotted this in the fix list for Patch 1.1 for UT3:

User Interface:
- Can now save settings/progress even if have never created a profile.

Going to install it now!

Just to let people know.. the patch does fix this problem. I can now complete each level on the campaign and go back to it later on after closing the game.

Play MP, the single player is pants. AI sucks! And its just death matches that are somehow meant to fit with a storyline? Flags are now generators or something? and all this rubbish! Leave the storylines to the Unreal series, and just give us tournament carnage for the UT series!

I'm quite enjoying the SP, hehehe

I haven't played UT since UT99 so I need to learn a bit and the SP is quite soft on me until I hit the servers!!
