How come no one plays UT3?

x1900's can't be SLI'd ;)

anywho, the problems mentioned are with nvidia drivers, which you obviously don't use.

Think I'll give this game another go, haven't played it in yonks :)
 
the reason nobody plays it seems to be because nobody plays it - there just arent enough servers so choice of gametype etc and the community is poor
 
I'm not too sure why but the community didn't seem to get behind this title this time round. And let's face it, it's been the community that's driven this game especially UT2K4. It's a shame because I think we could have seen some amazing mods.
 
Loved the original game but each release since has just worn me down a little more to the point where i couldnt be less interested in UT. The last release particularly just felt like an average console game.
 
Maybe they could make it easier to set up a server..... then more people would be inclined to do so....

I just had a quick bash, just finding somewhere with a valid mirror that you can actual download via sh is a task in itself. Downloading at 7MB/s = 4min :)

There already are some amazing mods out, and there are more coming. Keep an eye out for the next two stages of the Make Something Unreal Competition.

I'm hoping the new patch and steam integration will give this game the kick start it needs, sadly a year after it could have done with one, but better late than never.
 
just played a few vehicle CTF games, and I have to say it was quite fun.. I can see myself playing this more :)

amusing that I was in the top three everytime though.. it must be full of newbs giving it a try due to the Steam-ness. that's not a bad thing though, I'd hate to join a game full of vets :P
 
I thought mine was ok, but then found random crashed online in certain maps. Vista just stops dead.

Download the latest beta drivers from Guru3D ... 185.2 I think and all is well.

Just trying out a server on my vhost, surprising how many people drop by for a couple of rounds. Must have had over 50 visitors since mid afternoon.

Now if only I could get it to add a few bots without having to do it via the console every round all would be well.

Edit -- Bots are now working, phew makes it a little less stressful than pure 1 on 1 with a crack shot
Couple of random map change crashes I've yet to solve
Will likely only run in the evenings for now so I can supervise and pin down the issues.

If anyone want to lookout for it Decto_UK_UT3 in the server browser. If there's enough for a OCUK game one night I'll password it.

Bought it on release but never really got drawn into it. Might register it to steam and give it another go though when I get some free time.
