Unreal Tournament 3 patch v2.1 released

Epic Games have released the fifth official patch for Unreal Tournament 3 with numerous bug fixes for several issues such as achievements on custom content servers and map flaws.

The specific changes include:

User Interface

	Disabled wrap for options lists on PC
	Split out player and bot counts on mixed servers in server browser
	No longer require double clicking on main menu
	Fixed problem with vote menu, where list positions and scrollbar get reset after the menu updates
	Fixed issue with 'no password' connection error not asking for a password, when in online play
	Fixed issue with dialog boxes, where button positions are not updated correctly after resolution or message length changes
	Made the Instant Action and Host Game menus properly recover the saved mutator list, when the Mutator menu is not opened
	Fixed an incorrect call to WorldInfo.TravelFailed, and fixed the 'Incorrect Password' dialog not asking for a password

Game

	No longer disable achievements for mods that don't contain code (maps and custom characters)
	Fixed issues with weapons respawning with Duel and with WeaponsRespawn mutator
	Reduced visibility of DM beacons in darkmatch
	Fixed greed exploit with redeemer
	Updated russian localization
	Removed os helper workaround for Windows 2003 server, now that we have a better fix
	Fixed low gore issue with Titans
	Fix for wrong team shader in rare cases
	Fixed dropflag command not working. Also fixes a CTF exploit
	Fixed excessive link beam decals for listen servers
	Fixed warfare orb not showing up on minimap on second and subsequent rounds on map where teams switch sides
	Reduced damage to nodes/cores from dead Titan explosion
	Reduced damage Titans do to nodes/core with weapons
	Titan melee doesn't knock down spawn protected players

Server Administration

	Fixed problem where maplist entries contain unwanted whitespace, and move invalid maplist entries to a separate 'BadMaps' list, instead of just deleting them
	Fixed bug where the advertised game was wrong after switching gametypes, but only for the startup gametype
	Fixed bug with password being removed from URL, during non-seamless travel on the same server
	Fixed bug where the current game profiles mutators would be carried over into other gametypes
	Added 'MapReplayLimit' to UTMapList; this overrides the same value in UTMapListManager, unless set to -1
	Added code to trim down the size of server details results when they become too large, fixes problem where servers would not be advertised
	Adjusted vote code to end vote rounds early, when all players have voted, and to switch map immediately instead of respecting the 'EndTimeDelay' and 'RestartWait' settings
	In endgame votes, forcibly extend the first vote round by 16 seconds (i.e. the time it takes for the vote menu to popup)
	Added admin-only buttons to the vote menu, which allow admins to force a winning vote
	Fixed non-seamless travel client timeout disconnects
	Now consider server "pure" with same rules as achievements (custom maps, characters, and Epic mutators + webadmin allowed)
	Adjusted mutator voting to properly account for mutators in the game profile settings (both added and excluded mutators)

Mod support

	Fixed problem with cooking with -mod and ModShaderCache
	Fixed map makers unable to cook when using Titan Pack assets. May need to delete GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk from My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Published\CookedPC
	Added mutator hook for blocking team changes

Level specific

	Fixed WAR-Confrontation raptor exploit
	Possible fix for darkmatch memory leak
	Added refshadercache to patch, so titan content will have shaders compiled
	Fix for reported rare WAR-Floodgate crash

Steam enabled clients will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted.

They could at least fix 'reconnect' issue, so you dont need to type it two times...

well... ut3 is a good game indeed. But i dont even compare it to UT1. Would be great if you made a UT Live just like Quake live... a UT with better netcode... cause thats the only thing UT1 has that sux... it's netcode :P think about it. Afterall UT1 still has the most active community after 10 years in different mods so give it a try imo!

I've had it run flawlessly on both my Vista x64 systems. As far as UT3 could be expected to run flawlessly before patch 2.0 anyway.
