UNDERLAND (A.K.A TUBA)

Hope to catch you in game...Hopefully in a Bio-Trap

Time to break out the Bio-launcher :cool:

There is an increasing amount of locked servers. Very annoying.

This is looking cool, think I will get it downloaded.

Smokey Deza · 14 Jul 2016 at 16:03

Played last night.

Not the best update, many players moaning online.

The sound is the biggest complaint. There are some improvements but it's mostly bad. Sniper ricochet being the worst by far it is utterly deafening :/

Flak has a better spread.

Minor buff for rockets even though 50% of kills are RL? Whatever, fine by me.

FPS improvements.

Removed rank status on score board.

A mixed bag really.

Long as they aint lowering the graphics quality to get the better fps ?

Smokey Deza · 14 Jul 2016 at 16:57

Nope. They've reworked CTF-Titan but it runs so slow on my GPU now. Looks pretty though.

Outside of that I did see a minor improvement.

UT was the dogs proverbials.
2003 was released, they instantly realised their mistake and thankfully made good with 2004
When 2007 was released they renamed it to UT3 and sure, thats fine, it had some great visuals etc, and it was an overall great game, but by now, we have gone so far off UT99 that its no longer Version XYZ of said game, it wasa completely different game altogether.

To relaunch UT 99 with todays capabilities would be something special.

It could also utterly destroy the game too!

There is ONLY one way to play such games, and that is with Keyboard and Mouse, and so tablet and xbox or PlayStation gamers can simply get lost. If the games controls are adjusted to cater for those morons, then I will be horrified.

Lol. Stupid update wipes my key binds and then crashes when I try to go into weapon settings.

I'm at work so can't remember the exact path but it's something like mydocs/unrealtournament/saved/. In here move or delete the files in the 'paks' folder. That should solve your crashing to desktop in the weapon settings.

Yep a proper re-release of UT99 would be epic, this latest version plays ok but is a shadow of the original.

The number of hours we poured into UT99 is ridiculous, some amazing LAN party memories, still play the steam release of the game a few times a week

Your comparing the classic original to a pre-alpha? Well, I'll be...

Yes, because, you know, that's all i can compare it against, i'm not on the final release not coded yet distribution list.

My opinion will change if the game gets better.

Wasn't expecting that to work, but it did. Thanks a million

no problem

ShiWarrior · 31 Aug 2016 at 11:27

anyone else having issues since the update?

my launcher takes a long time to load, when I finally get into game its slow, everything is slow, lags like crazy (when I finally get on a server of about 3)

The point of a pre-alpha is to provide constructive feedback to help improve things in future builds, is it not?

AshenEdge · 31 Aug 2016 at 19:44

Great to see others are enjoying the Alpha as much as me :cool:

The new build not so much... everything just seems clunky where as the last build felt slick and smooth

The respawn pause is also a bit annoying.

I'm not sure if it's a bug but the Deemer seems to respawn multiple times on occasion on Underland?

Anyway I hope to bump into some of you in game!
