UT2K3 Demo Patch -- 6:31 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Epic has released a 3M patch for the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo. You can find a list of mirror sites at UnrealTournament2003.com. Here are the list of major fixes:

• Fixed support for Voodoo3 / Matrox G400.
• Fixed initial framerate hitches in network play.
• Fixed the jittery screen updates in the server browser when sorting by ping.
• Fixed a possible DoS attack in the server code.
• Fixed a few other minor potential crashes.

Note: this is just for Windows. A Linux patch should be available soon. Thanks Blue.

UPDATE! Ryan Gordon posted a list of Linux-specific changes in the new patch on the UT2K3 Linux mailing list:

• Fixed initial framerate hitches in network play.
• Fixed the jittery screen updates in the server browser when sorting by ping.
• Fixed a possible DoS attack in the server code.
• Fixed a few other minor potential crashes.
• Benchmarking shell scripts are now supplied.
• Dirs that need to exist in $HOME/.ut2003 are created as needed (fixes benchmarking).
• Fixed window centering to better support Xinerama displays.
• Much enchanged FAQ in the README.linux file.
• Fixed bug with logfile creation (may be win32 specific; not sure).
• If "xterm" is in your $PATH, launching a dedicated server from the client's "host a game" menus will use it. This fixes the problem of originally running the client from an icon and losing the dedicated server's console output to the ether.
• probably other stuff.

UPDATE #2! The Linux patch is now available through the auto-updater.
