There has always been a nice long list here about what was fixed in this patch, btu I can't find a thing...

All I've noticed is the movies tab under the community, and ICTF. What else?

turrets in Onslaught can't damage power nodes or power cores

There are splashes when you shoot at the water

A whole dumpload of mutators that didn't show up before show up and work now

Overall faster loading times

I haven't experienced a General Protection Fault since I installed the patch...

The Bots in instant action will actually chase after the flag if they are defending the base and the flag is stolen

You already know about instagib CTF

I can think of a lot more, those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head

Well it forbids the use of cool colored nicks and also gives players difficulties on some anticheat protected servers, resulting in kicking. Also AFAIK on linux servers the map switch time(black screen) increases to 2-3 minutes sometimes. If that all counts as fixed issues that is..

Agreed seems to have fixed frequent GPFs as well as speeded up general load times.
Biggest YIPEE!!! for me is that it fixed the problems I was having with the Host/Server Ping rates not showing up in the Join Game browser.. Ping=N/A (problem started w/previous Patch)... I had tried all of the Router/NAT config changes suggested in these forums with no luck. As soon as I loaded this new patch, PROBLEM RESOLVED ... Thank you Epic....

I got GPF's with the patch. And I reinstalled UT2004 without patch and now have none. I blame the patch for my GPF's.

Er... which patch? I was under the impression that the first patch brought the GPFs and the second one sent them away again... :confused:

Really? I haven't tested this yet...Are the splashes tinted red? Do they look like lava splashes?

So far, none of the patches have fixed my 10-second freezes/hitches.

They are less frequent, but I still get them. :(

Colored nicks are not cool, they are obnoxious. Thank god they are gone.

I still get an occasional speed hack stall.
