Do you want EPIC to take away the "cooking"-system checks? Vote!

Why isn't this thread in the editing forum btw?

100 Votes on a forum like this one and I think EPIC will listen.

You're a whole 7 votes towards that total now! And that's probably only actually 4 people, given that you've allowed voters to vote for both "options" at the same time :/

This thread is like conducting an average age survey where the only tick box is "20 to 30".

Lame.

Exactly..!

Still, I for one aint voting.

But for it not to be biased in any way, you need people to have the option for it to stay, otherwise you have no numbers to compare with.

Example:

200 votes to take it away in this poll.. But 1000 would have wanted to vote for letting it stay, but you dont see those because there's not an option for letting it stay.

And btw you only have 2 options? To take it away and to take it away..

Indeed, this thread is for those that wants it to be taken away and not the other way.

You can choose to not cook a map aswell, it'll still work.

From what I and my brother have dound out, all the files will be cocked either way.

Imho it's a good option to make maps more accessible.

Hello!

many of you active forum members may have already noticed that I´m not so happy with how the "cooking"-system check downgrades the textures detail and much more graphics. It´s pretty much impossible to make UT3 look better than how it looks now. EPIC have also done a/some script/s that for example makes it impossible to enable motionblur on the PC-version.

The "cooking"-system check seems to do the following with the games content and others mods:
- Downgrades many 2048x Textures to 1024x and 512x resolution, without asking.
- Downgrades geometry, without asking.
- Makes it impossible to add certain effects that the Engine supports.
I´m sure there´s more.

My brother asked me: Why didn´t EPIC make a box called "PS3 compatible"?
If that "PS3 compatible"-box gets ticked on then the Engine makes a "cooking"-check but if you decide to not tick that "PS3 compatible"-box (in other words make the mod/yweak PC-compatible only) then the Engine doesn´t do a "cooking"-check.
I think my brother is right and we are both very unhappy with how unfriendly UT3 is for modding and tweaking.

I´m sure many modders and tweakers are quite un-happy with this "cooking"-system check so I figured out that maybe EPIC would listen to us (and hopefully post some answers) if this poll gets many votes.

Please vote if you feel the same.

I´m sure we could make UT3 look like this:
