E' uscita 8 giorni fa ma avevo il covid con febbre a 39,4° quindi mi sono un po' distratto e non ho letto l'annuncio

La patch è quasi pronta, mancano ancora 7 bug a alta priorità ma che non sono particolarmente impattanti, quindi hanno rilasciato la Release Candidate 2 per chi la volesse provare, link qui: https://github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTournamentPatches/releases/tag/v469c-rc2

Per chi vuole leggersi il changelog lo trova qui
23
469c Release Candidate 3! Questa, pensano, sia l'ultima RC prima della release ufficiale.

Se usate l'XOpenGL c'è una novità. E' stato aumentato il numero di Bindless Texture che il renderer può utilizzare, da 4096 a 2 milioni. Per sbloccare questa capacità dovete assicurarvi che queste righe in UnrealTournament.ini siano come le ho scritte qui sotto:

[XOpenGLDrv.XOpenGLRenderDevice]
UsePersistentBuffers=False
UseBindlessTextures=True
UseBindlessLightmaps=True
UseShaderDrawParameters=True
UseLightmapAtlas=True
MaxBindlessTextures=0

(per chi non lo sa: le bindless texture sono texture che vengono prese direttamente dai loro indirizzi di memoria saltando il passaggio in cui vengono assegnate agli oggetti su cui devono comparire. Un passaggio in meno=piĂš velocitĂ )

[EDIT 22 Ago 2022] E invece no! Release candidate 4

Changelog:

Unreal Tournament Version 469c Release Notes

Version 469c is completely network compatible with all previous public releases of UT (down to 432). The UTPG and OldUnreal teams worked hard to maintain binary compatibility with older native mods. Most of these mods will continue to work in version 469c. However, some mods may need some trivial updates. If you are a native mod author, and you are having trouble updating your mod for version 469c, then please reach out to us at the OldUnreal forums. Note: This patch disables older versions of ACE. Server admins should upgrade ACE to version 1.1e or later to check 469c clients.

Patch Distribution

Updated the included FMOD Engine binaries for all clients to version 2.02.10
The Windows installer is now digitally signed
Removed libcurl from the patch. Server admins that use the MD5 anti-cheat protection feature and that have automatic updates enabled for the package list will have to manually download libcurl or use the version that came with the previous patch. This change should substantially reduce the number of false positive malware warnings triggered by our patch
Added native support for Linux/AMD64 and macOS/Apple Silicon platforms
Included an updated version of the UT PubSrc SDK

Enhancements
Unreal Editor


  • If Unreal Editor tries to check a renderer for compatibility and that renderer crashes the editor, it will not be checked for compatibility again next time you launch UnrealEd
  • When attempting to open a window that is already open, UnrealEd now brings that window to the top of the window stack
  • Improved the performance of the UZ compress/decompress commandlets (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Added a new texture browser menu option that culls unused textures (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Added a new select surface menu option that selects all surfaces in the same zone as the selected surface (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Made the command bar remember the most recently used commands even after restarting the editor (External Contribution by Buggie)

  • Added a new dialog window that can be used to import compressed mipmaps for an existing texture
  • Improved dragging performance in non-realtime viewports by deferring non-realtime viewport rendering to the next Tick()
  • Added .obj import/export support for brushes
  • Brush importers no longer delete mesh faces with very small areas
  • Added compatibility warnings for mods that attempt to call the Locs and Repl functions that were added in UT v451
  • Added a "hidden properties" category to the actor properties window (backport from Unreal 227j)
  • Added new compatibility warnings for mods that attempt to use the native functions UTPG added in patches 440 and 451
  • Added a texture browser menu option to regenerate texture mipmaps
  • Added a single-viewport preset for Unreal Editor (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Added a "Copy Actor Properties" option to the actor properties window (External Contribution by Buggie)

  • Added an Unreal Editor "Recovery Mode" that allows you to save your work in the event of an editor crash (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Added a "Select Matching Surfaces" option to the texture browser (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Added a new option to duplicate/insert actors without moving them away from the position of the duplicated actor (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Improved precision of the font textures generated by the TrueType font factory
  • Added dynamic mylevel actor recompilation support. When enabled, the script compiler now allows you to change the class layout of actors that you've placed into your level. The following [Editor.EditorEngine] ini options control this feature's behavior:

    • - WarnForActorRecompilation (Bool - Default Value: True): Warns mappers when they are about to recompile the code for MyLevel actors. The warning explains why recompiling MyLevel actors is dangerous and informs them about the new actor recompilation ini options
    • - DynamicActorRecompilation (Bool - Default Value: False): Enables dynamic actor recompilation support. When the feature is disabled, Unreal Editor still allows you to recompile MyLevel actors, but the script compiler will not resize Actors after recompilation, nor update their properties to match the new class layout


UnrealScript

  • The crosshair dimensions in the hud menu now match their in-game dimensions
  • Errors generated by the GetNextIntDesc function are no longer fatal
  • UnrealShare.ObjectPath now properly clamps the PathActor's Roll and it retains the initial Roll set on the PathActor (External Contribution by Buggie)

  • UTPG's team info enhancement for UdpServerQuery is now enabled by default
  • Made the game detect infinite loops in state code
  • Made the weapon list resize after dragging the slider in the weapon options menu (External Contribution by Buggie)

Game Client


  • Improved cyrillic text support
  • The game now keeps rendering while it is displaying a modal dialog or popup menu

  • Improved UTF-8 logging/parsing support in the Windows client
  • Added the DynamicFontUnicodeRange option to Engine.Canvas. This option can be used to specify the unicode characters to include in dynamically generated fonts
  • The stats font (i.e., the font used for stat net, stat fps, ...) now has a black outline which should greatly improve the font's visibility. Additionally, Render.Render now has five new ini options for stat fonts:

    • - StatOffsetX (Integer - Default Value: 0): Overrides the default horizontal offset of the stats text
    • - StatOffsetY (Integer - Default Value: 16): Overrides the default vertical offset of the stats text
    • - StatDrawOutline (Boolean - Default Value: True): If True, stats text will be rendered with a black outline
    • - StatScaleFont (Boolean - Default Value: True): If True, the stats font will be scaled up at higher resolutions
    • - StatScaleFactor (Float - Default Value: -1): If -1, Render will automatically determine an appropriate scaling factor. If positive, Render will apply the user-specified scaling factor to the stats font

  • Disabled anti-aliasing on the smallest UWindow and Ladder fonts
  • New icon for the macOS bundle (External Contribution by Älg!)
  • Made the game window remember its position across launches (backport from 227)
  • Made the game disable the compatibility fixes applied by the GoG game installer. These compatibility fixes caused choppy audio playback and reduced frame rates
  • Disabled mouse smoothing by default
  • Made mouse input more precise on macOS and Linux
  • Windows raw mouse input now also works in windowed mode


Audio and 3D Rendering


  • Greatly improved performance of OpenGLDrv and XOpenGLDrv
  • Added a "OldLitColors" option to Render.Render. This option can be set to true if you want unlit actors to be dimly lit as in UT 436
  • ALAudio now uses the correct output device if you select "System Default" as your output device and if you switch audio devices while playing the game (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Improved support for Apple Retina displays
  • XOpenGLDrv now supports detail textures (if the DetailMax setting is set to a value higher than 0)


Physics and Player Movement


  • Improved simulation of players walking on stairs


Networking and Netcode


  • Fixed a bug that made it impossible to load skins whose names started with the name of a standard skin package (External Contribution by Buggie)
  • Spectators now see inventory and armor changes for their viewtargets
  • The web admin and udp server query protocol can now transmit information in UTF-8 format. As a result, Unicode playernames, chat messages, etc. should now appear correctly


Localization


  • New supported (text-only) languages: German (Thanks Smirftsch, eGo, Ividyon and Sly.!), Russian, Portuguese (Thanks Ubir4!), Catalan and Dutch (Thanks bennytrt and Rubie!) French (Thanks Hellkeeper!) and Italian (Thanks Alby1987!) from the original MULTI5 release fully updated and fixed
  • Moved all localization files into the SystemLocalized folder
  • All localization files updated to the latest strings
  • All duplicates have been removed
  • All Unreal map files were removed
  • Layouts of all shared files changed in order to match their new organization (i.e. shared sections between U1 and UT can be now easily copypasted)
  • New string ControlPrefix for Domination Point messages for languages that support them (i.e., Spanish and its inverted "!")
  • All instances of "Unreal" not named "Unreal Engine" fixed into "Unreal Tournament" (because, well, we're playing Unreal Tournament, not Unreal, lol!)
  • All Advanced Options menu settings homogenized into English (sigh) in order to prevent them from breaking third-party files
  • All device names shortened in order to fit in the menus (i.e. "Support for OpenAL 3D" -> "OpenAL 3D")
  • Added SetupOldUnrealPatch.*
  • Botpack.*: All gametypes moved into new category "Tournament Game Types" in order to separate them from the regular gametypes. "Tournament Game Types" also contains the settings exclusively to the UT-related gametypes
  • Core.*: Added dummy "example" commandlets. The localization of these lines is optional
  • Editor.*:

    • All commandlet weblinks now point to the right page in the OldU Wiki
    • By consensus, all commandlets will be left in English
    • Fixed wrong line reference in PackageFlagCommandlet

  • Engine.*:

    • Added Game Types as a general root
    • Updated the Upgrade URL in [General].

  • SetupUnrealTournamentPatch.*: All files synchronized with the right content.
  • Startup.*:

    • "Chose" -> "Choose"
    • Added new section "[IDDIALOG_ConfigPageMouseInput]" for the new "First Time" window where the user chooses between Cursor, DirectInput and Raw mouse inputs.
    • First-time configuration window title is now "Unreal Tournament Multimedia Configuration", since it now covers more than just Video.

  • Udemo.*: New localized strings
  • UMenu.*: Fixed description of "Invert Mouse" (it talked about the X axis being inverted, it's actually the Y axis)
  • UnrealI.*: Added [NaliPlayer] section
  • UTMenu.*: Added dummy lines. The localization of these lines is optional
  • Spanish:

    • All strings adapted to Buggie's templates. This also allowed catching several bugs, untranslated strings and inconsistencies that wouldn't have been caught otherwise
    • Minor fixes and inconsistencies fixed
    • Added missing line in UBrowser.est and fixed key name in UMenu.est and controls tags in UTMenu.est
    • All instances of "You got/picked up..." streamlined into "Has recogido..."

Postata la 469d Release Candidate 2

Tanta roba anche stavolta, soprattutto fix di performance e network che vanno a beneficio dei gametype che richiedono precisione nei movimenti (tipo bunnyhop). Anche se il pacco più grande di fix è legato all’unreal editor.

Visto lo scannatoio successo a inizio anno c’è anche un sistema per aggiornare e tenere aggiornata la lista dei master server. In teoria adesso il gioco se la va a prendere in automatico e la aggiorna. Se per qualche motivo non lo dovesse fare e il server browser resta vuoto è stato aggiunto un pulsante nell’UI per forzare il check. Bravissimi :approved:

Fuori la 469d ufficiale: Release Unreal Tournament v469d ¡ OldUnreal/UnrealTournamentPatches ¡ GitHub

Patch meno grossa a 'sto giro ma hanno fixato bug piĂš stronzi. Comunque merita anche solo perchĂŠ adesso quando il gioco sta scarcando package da un server ti dice anche il progresso totale di tutto il download, non piĂš solo del package che sta scaricando in quel momento. Roba da commuoversi! :cry:

Changelog:

Summary

Patch Highlights

  • This patch includes several performance fixes and improvements for clients and servers
  • This patch adds support for Linux-aarch64/ARMv8 platforms. This means you can now host servers (or even play the game) on your Raspberry Pi 3/4! (#1013, Patreon Post)
  • Good news for movement-centric game types such as BunnyTrack: This patch fixes several long-standing movement and networking issues! (e.g., #782, #805, #228)
  • We’ve dealt a real blow to the Editor goblin. 469d has tons of editor bug fixes, improvements, and new tools
  • The 469d client should now automatically connect to the community master servers, regardless of how you installed it. If your server browser is still empty after installing the patch, then simply go to Options>Preferences>Network in the game menu and click the “Update/Fix Network Settings” button to restore your game’s online functionality
