Gamespy Patch Info

It's stupid to wait till the last minute to patch your server.

rumple can you help get my server showing in the list ?

[Rumplehedskin]

That is an ongoing bug. Our servers have been patched from day one, but still go missing half the time. In game set your filter to show all game types and check all the boxes. Last night that was the only way I could see any of our servers.

Thanks Rumple
- rumple fix "select all gametypes"
@ whoever cares Bug Confirmed:

• It is possible to have two accounts with the same username/ password & email

Example:
Game
Name: UT3Player01
PW: UT3Pass01
Running Old UT3.exe
Server
Name: UT3Player01
PW: UT3Pass01
Running New UT3.exe

Because of this i was unable to see my server.
Okay so it's not a bug per-se, but its definitely worth thinking about
What if someone takes/steals another user's name?

@ RattleSN4K3
- if you here & reading this; can you make a PS3 patch please.
OR - like i asked before can someone Official please just post the HeX string please.?
i don't like the lack of official transparency and unverified files from a company i have supported for longer than i can remember -

Yes, you can use the same username and password on the new exe that you used on the old. This shouldn't effect the server showing up on the new master server.

Big thanks to all that are helping out. My work schedule has been pretty hectic lately.

A lot of UT3 servers are still unpatched, and I'm guessing they know about gamespy deadline, however they are waiting by end of June to switch to new patch. And most probably steam patch will come around that time. Otherwise people start complaining that they could not play at their favorite servers after applying patch!! So best option is to release the patch when gamespy masterserver is dead.

Yeah But lets face it...You have what 80 UT3 servers..and Like 13 With Regular players? Gamespy is Fail...They can't even shutdown on time..EA Footed the bill for another month so they could patch their games up. If Epic would Request that the ut3 GS Master would be taken offline then we all could move have moved to the patch together. But no..Lets do it the half ***** American way. Doesn't matter I'm only worried about My players..and they are all patched. so Yeah..LOL

This is from gamespy masterserver stats:

165 Servers Listed with 103 players.

I'm sure that you can't find these numbers of patched players and servers.
I did a small trick once, maybe you can do it too. I ran the server with patched server, then I ran the server with same port with old file. The server will show up in gamespy and epic masterservers but all player will connect to the server that takes the port of game server first (in my case, patched server).

Rattlesnake can you make a version of your patch installer for steam users?

I would need information about a Steam installation. Some registry content. Need to know if the UT3 installation path is stored in the registry and can be found here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App XXX

(XXX replaced by a 3-6 digits number)

There could be a PS3 dedicated server patch (if the new master server is working with PS3 data) but noone would be able to search for it. Client version isn't patchable that easy.

Steam App 13210

[RattleSN4K3]

Is InstallLocation pointing to the UT3 folder?

Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 13210
Key: InstallLocation

Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 13210
Key: InstallLocation

InstallLocation=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Unreal Tournament 3

UT3.exe is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries

[RattleSN4K3]

Thanks. Working with that.

the server that takes the port of game server first (in my case, patched server).

• If that works then its both a positive and a negative
• with the current Gamespy Server patch those player with an illegitimate copy will not see your server and thus will not join you (yay )
• However, if you do what Zeytun sugests, then these people will be granted access.

[RattleSN4K3]

Is the Steam executable the same as the retail one?

[1XTreme]

Is the Steam executable the same as the retail one?

Compare the 2 side by side, file size, date stamp, etc.

try this maybe;

Of course you'll need to convert the binary to a text-file with the ascii-numbers of the bytes, I know you know your stuff I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it.

((long time no see RS))

[RattleSN4K3]

That would require that I own that file ^^(...and having UT3 on Steam).

((hehe look like. hi))
