Nothing new as far as widescreen/surround support is concerned afaik :roll: but Epic's attempt to revive the title is a good reason to play UT3 again ! Official free stuff is good for you :D
Note that you can now register UT3 into Steam (and uninstall your old game) and get the updates that way. You do not HAVE TO though - neither the patch nor the Titan Pack will require you to move to Steam at any time. If you're into online fragging and achievements, well, be my guest.

Been waiting for this one.
..looks like I'll need to wait some more as it isn't live on Steam yet.

I'm anxiously awaiting the update to come in through Steam. Yes, I know you can apply the patch manually, but I'd rather not mess with Steam's auto-update system. ;)

Yeah, I'm actually wondering why this is being released outside Steam at all; I guess Steamworks doesn't require Steam somehow?

If I got it right, the game now comes in two flavors : Steam and achievements, or good ol' DVD and no access to ranked servers. Chances are the community will massively pick the first option. People with a DVD install can turn it to the Steam version at any time, but I'm friggin glad you don't *have* to migrate to Steam to enjoy the patch and Titan Pack, 'cos that's what previews let everybody think.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Help!
I cannot force AA any more using the nVidia control panel OR nhancer. Anyone know how to do this with this patch and the latest nVidia drivers? It's driving me nuts.
Nevermind, I figured it out. There are 2 UT3 profiles, the UT3 one and the Unreal Engine 3 one. Both need to have aa compatibility set to 0x100c5.

Now is this AA using FSAA (the really slow one that renders the whole screen at twice the resolution and downscales it) or is it using MSAA/CSAA?
FSAA is too slow for my enjoyment.

Looks like the UT3 update just went live on Steam. Downloading kinda slowly. :(

I am downloading as well, kinda fast for here: 270KB/s good as steam ever gets for me.
Has ayone lese noticed that STEAM uses up more of your DL limit than the game/patch should be? For example it used about 6GB for Frontlines when (I think) it said about 4. Is this common with everyone else? One of my clan mates reported the same thing.
Now WhereTF is my proper WS support!

It's downloading slowly because they are also running a free weekend on Steam and everyone is downloading the whole game at once.
Tell your friends... this game deserves more attention, in my opinion, and the new enhancements could make it a belated hit.

I never played Instagib a lot in any UT, but this might change thanks to Betrayal mode... I love it 8)

At this rate, the trial will be over before I even have 1% of it downloaded.

Will be over for me too ! ..... :(
Or , wait, is that the amount of time the game's "active" for? Or is that the ETA on the download? :?
Regardless, it's been on 0% for a while now.

Titan mode is fun. :D
The forced "over the shoulder" view sucks though, especially in that dark map where you must crouch a lot (clipping)...

Awesome. There are actually a few more options above and below, but it doesn't fit on one screen!
I'm liking the look of the new menus, though I'm slightly bothered by the need to double-click to activate selection. brb while I play a few rounds :D
Also, OT but, anyone taking a long time to load the forums sometimes?
