Uninstall worked well, I will try the non-beta demo when it comes out.

odd even my laptop went up to 1440x whatever it is. apparently none of the advanced video settings were included so the demo wouldnt be too big.


Still cant get wilds computer to play this. next stop is bios and see if maybe just maybe there is something I can change in there.

hmm her computer has pcie 6800gt. im confused as to why I cant get her computer to play the game though grrr.

Open My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\UTGame\Config\UTEngine.ini

Change the line
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=False
to
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=True

Edit:*RESTART BEFORE TRYING TO RUN THE DEMO AGAIN*

Does it still crash?

that was the answer. wonder why hers has to be set that way??????

So far so good here.

My first impression is it's new but it feels old...and I kinda like it.

The flak seconary fire seems MUCH straighter.

Movement...well again it feels old...and I kinda like it.

OK now back to HL2:EP2....and Zelda for the DS Light

Did you all go to the ADVANCED Video Settings? You can crank up the World and Player Details. Once you do that, it looks great in XP, but Vista still looks a little weird....

SOUL, On my Q6600 + 8800GTS 320MB system, Windows XP, I am getting 60 to 70 fps at MAX video settings in game, running at 1920x1200 on a 24" Samsung TFT, and it looks really really nice! Not sure why your 8800GTS 640MB would perform the same as my 8800GTS 320MB....

The new shock combo r0x and I definitely like what they've done with the flak, both primary and secondary, likewise the linkgun. The rockets' splash damage is still nerfed compared to Unreal and UT. The movement changes are going to, once again, take some getting used to but I have no objections about it. The vehicles are a lot more responsive than in 2K4 and are going to take some serious adjustments to get used to.

BTW, if you haven't noticed, the Demo seems to be capped at about 60fps. You can uncap it by editing the Engine\Config\BaseEngine.ini file:

from
[Engine.GameEngine]
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62

to
[Engine.GameEngine]
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=1000 ;or some other good number

After making this change, my frame rates went from a constant 62, plus or minus a little bit, to roughly 75-300, as usual depending upon where I was in a map.

yes I did and it still looks like crap. Sorry erad I realize it doesnt contain all the settings for us to change yet so I am sure it will look better eventually but right now it looks 10x worse than ut2k4 does.

I did that as well and it looks like crap.

Not being able to get the resolution to change with out hanging the game was the biggest issue for me.
