UT2K4 3355 Patch Released -- 4:30 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun
Epic has released the 3355 patch for Unreal Tournament 2004. Here's a list of the changes:
- Fixed stuttering/snagging/sinking into static meshes in some places on clients in net games
- Improved getting out of water
- Fixed FaceClassic teleporter exploit
- The Cicada hud indicators should now show up in all game modes.
- Fixed SPMA causing damage at world origin.
- Fixed not being able to exit Raptor when it's on the ground
- Fixed (for assault) the energy core always showing on the HUD even if it not the current objective (thanks AngelMapper)
There are also some Mac and Linux-specific changes:
- Mac version no longer requires the DVD to be in the drive to play (but you still need a valid CD key).
- UTV is now supported on Linux and Mac
- Bits of the editor package (NOT UnrealEd!) are now included on Linux and MacOS, which improves mod compatibility.
- Linux/amd64 version framerate shouldn't suck like it did in 3339 anymore.
If you want the Editor's Choice Edition (ECE) content, make sure it is installed before you install this patch. The Mac patch includes the ECE content. You can download the Windows version from 3D Gamers (13M) and the Linux version (19.7M) directly from icculus.org. The Mac version is also available at icculus.org.
"Do You Believe in Miracles? Yes!" -- 9:24 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun
25 years ago today, February 22, 1980, that famous call was made by Al Michaels when the rag-tag United States Olympic hockey team did the impossible, beating the mighty Soviet Union team 4-3. This after being thrashed by the Russians 10-3 in a game right before the Olympics. I remember watching it on T.V. It's interesting that the single most important sporting event in American history was a hockey game--a game most Americans could care less about.

Flash Sound Fix -- 12:04 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun
One problem I just noticed today was with getting sounds to work with Flash in Firefox. Movies would play fine, just without any sound. After a bunch of looking around, I found the solution. Set the KDE sound server auto-suspend time to two seconds. That'll fix it. I imagine that other sound systems would work similarly. It's weird that that caused problems only with Flash in Firefox and nothing else.
