Here's another bug for you to chew on. On Map 1 I seem to be back at the initial 12 health every time I reload the game, no matter what my health was during the save. Medium difficulty. A gameinfo bug, I assume.

Improvement ideas:
Inventory: The amount of items in your possession is barely readable on the icons since it still uses the old, tiny red Unreal font. Perhaps change that?
EDIT: Also I seem to be only able to see 3 items at a time - the selected one and the two surrounding it. Isn't it supposed to be 5?

Piddledoper: I've found myself out of ammo and having to wait for the gun to recharge quite often. Perhaps the recharge rate should be improved drastically? It's just a backup weapon, but I don't think it is intended for people to be out of ammo in the gameplay style you're going for.

EDIT: By the way, you might want to check the description texture for the intro map's BATSHIT INSANE difficulty selection for errors, but that's just a minor nitpick.

Hope you don't mind those mini-reports. If you want, I can hold on the post until I accumulate a greater amount of thoughts/bug reports and post a single big list instead of posting every time I see something.

12 health: yeah definitely a bug; I will have to get a new solution for this. I originally did it so that you couldn't start Map 1 with 600 health from the intro. Good find.

Small numbers: yeah that will be improved at a later date for the HUD; we didn't have time for it this time around. And yes you can only see 3 at a time right now; 5 will be later.

Piddledoper recharge: depending on your difficulty, you should find a good number of rechargers for it. I can increase the rate a little bit, though.

You can just post stuff as you find it if you like; makes it easier for me as I get an email for every new post in this thread. :)

You might want to use another renderer such as D3D8 or OpenGL. The files for both are provided in the EXU zip file, so you can simply change the renderer in your UT Advanced Options.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to put that in the first post (updated now), but it's mentioned in the manual. The stock D3D renderer can't handle 512x512 textures, which EXU uses. Use the included D3D8 or OpenGL; they are modern and are both perfectly capable of rendering everything just fine. :)

First off, thanks for the quick response.

I've changed into the D3D8 renderer and tried again, only to meet with this error

Shortly followed with this error

Any solutions?

Shit, something's wrong with the digit factory in the HUD. I let UA know and we'll get this fixed ASAP. Try OpenGL and see if that works; it should, unless there is something else wrong.

Sorry for the crashes!

No probs about the crashes, these things happen. :)

OpenGL renderer seems to be out of the question, as it makes UT run like this...

[Edit] turned on UseVertexProgram, which is pretty important and probably the reason this didn't work the first time!

Try using these OpenGL settings; I use them and they work fine, but if I just use the defaults it looks like ass. Copy paste this into UnrealTournament.ini, and replace the existing OpenGLDrv entry:

I think I might know what is causing this (yes, I got the same error). Make sure that the default gametype for the Vortex Rikers map is not still set to "VRikersGame" (or something like that). This can be found in the maps advanced properties menu...

Thats only a guess though.. you could have already changed/removed that .. I haven't checked in the editor.

EXU uses a different gametype altogether, so that is not the cause. ;)

Don't worry, I know what's causing it :) The map uses a special GameInfo and it overrides your health to 12 in Postlogin; this was done so you couldn't bring 600 from the intro map. I just need a new workaround for this, but I have some ideas.

Ok, I put those setting in the UnrealTournament.ini as you said, over the old settings, but it didn't work, as it stayed exactly the same.

Damn. Well, hold out for a patched EXU.u; fortunately this file is super small (500kb) so patching it is incredibly easy. If you're feeling adventurous, see if you can try out D3D9; download here: http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/

[Edit] Good news - UA told me what to change in the digit factory, so I'll update and upload the new file as soon as I get back from class (in about 2 hours). I'll also fix the health issue and get that patched.

Beginning the game on Unreal since I'm insane. Although, I have a problem with the new HUD.
I checked the Shotgun bug and while I was trying to remember the button to drop the weapon, I pressed one which increased the size of my HUD to a horribly giant size. Now I don't know how to revert it back.
