unreal 3 beta demo and actual game

Hi

I have been playing the demo and found it to be quite fun

.

It runs nicely but I was wondering whether the actual full release runs better/ the same/ or worse before I look to buy it?

seems to run the same.

fraps · 25 Nov 2007 at 22:48

cool, have you got the game?

Actual game runs just the same as the demo does

fraps · 25 Nov 2007 at 23:43

thanks, now i need to find the cheapest copy

It does run the same but i have found the full game can pause for anything upto 15 seconds, im not talking online either just on the single player

Visit epic forums and you will see that the quality of the final release is not going down well with the community. And there is a unwelcome silence on the boards from any epic reps

i haven't had any problems with the full release yet... except one little bug.

The voice instrustions in SP mode when a map is loading... i means seriously... whats the point in having audio instructions on a map if it skips and pauses all the time because the map is loading

I get the long pause too. I got a similar thing on Ut2k4 with a completely different comp. Weird.

No problems with the full release runs the same but bear in mind the beta demo only ran with medium texture detail even if it was set to 5 (It was really only on 3 as the higher textures were not included in the demo). So expect a performance drop in the full game if you set texture detail to 5 as the textures are quite a bit better.

The game addresses some of the beta annoyances (the miningun turret on the Goliath actually fires properly now) and plays a lot better IMO, esp. because of the expanded content and cool maps. I am still grumbling away because of my love for UT2004, but have to say that UT3 is an excellent game in its own right.
