Whats UT3 like these days?

Now that i have turned off DepthOfField, Fog & blur & have played a few maps the difference is huge & it just shows how ridiculously overboard in UT3 & games using the UnReal engine have been implementing effects.
GOW is not as bad with the DOF & Blur but its still to much.
Only DMC4 has gotten a good balance out of the games i have played using the UnReal engine.

Devs really need to put more option in the menu to tame the effects.

its honestly like night and day mate, u see so much more turning it all off without sacrificing real gfx. Havent got any screenies but its a simple case of goin into the utengine.ini and changing a few lines to =false if u wanted to test it out.

Too many posts to read ¬¬.

I thought UT3 was ok when it first came out, but I only play agaisn't bots.

Sadly though I still think UT99 is the better game, at least I have more fun with it anyway.

Not a huge fan of the art style in UT3 partly due to the Unreal 3 engine which has that "console" feel to it. ¬¬
 
FogVolumes=False
DepthOffield is in the menu under video advanced World Detail settings setting it to 1 turns it off but apply will overwrite FogVolumes, to true again but will disable bloom.

give it a couple of hours, u will crash :)

i know there was a beta driver that came out that allowed u to disable to x-ram, not sure if the latest driver includes this opition. But to me this isnt really a proper fix as they have had over a year now to get this issue sorted.

Anyhow disabling x-ram supposedly works, i havent got round to trying it yet and not sure if i cba to keep setting it on/off depending on what game im playing

Hours lol I'm not as hardcore UT3 as you......yet ;)

But it normally crashed within 1-2 rounds before.
 
Does everyone only play VCTF and Warfare then? I seem to suck at those game modes and even in the vehicles cant kill people most of the time they still kill me :\

VCTF and Warfare takes allot of getting used to the vehicles in UT3, but im getting there.

I'm a weird player, I find that the time I have played UT for people have played less than me and are now pro, I just cant seem to learn.

I know I find UT3 D/M and that quite fun, some levels I do ok, sometimes I have a good run and can come in top 3 or 4, sometimes I am near the bottom.

I want to try VCTF and that, I don't understand the vehicles though, obviously the only way to get high scores is to use the vehicles, I'm not keen on em though, only time I want to use vehicles is racing :p
