Hey,
I just saw the changelog:

Let's see if it will fix some other issues like walljump and quick weapon switching after an Avril shot.

Greets

For me it's the only one really sufficient.

and yea, let's hope they fix wall dodge after hover! cwl.)

What about fixing the avrils, Epic?  xxxras.gif
The reloading animation can stop you from changing weapon but can be tricked in different ways.

yea, avril is really buggy, i hate when i can't change weapon because of animation =\  And they still didn't fix it - sometimes when i switch my weapon to avril it reloads *2 faster. I would greatly appreciate if they return it back to 1.3.

Guys, would you please make a screenshot with an exact place where the hoverboard-walljump worked in version 1.3 but does not work now?
Honestly, I never used the walljump but since you use it, you should know some places.
I will send an E-Mail to Epic with a list of problems which were created by patch 2.0 and should get fixed in 2.1!

Greets

its allmost on every wall and on the jump pad up to suspense tower u also cant dodge from wall anymore

its in this video, on sec. 13 and 15 e.g.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1u4XZTMW0c&feature=channel_page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1u4XZTMW0c&feature=channel_page)

or in this one, sec. 10, 12 and 20

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdI0m0-o7Ok&feature=channel_page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdI0m0-o7Ok&feature=channel_page)

yea and dont forget the jump pad shit ! its important cause every idiot can snipe u now if u dont dodge from the corner in suspense on avriltower...........ok maybe its wanted? for the noobs thtat they can get u? whatever FU epic

I didn't mention you can't wall dodge after jumppad...may be cuz i don't play suspense, dunno. But that definitely sucks :(

The dodge still works.. only its harder now, U have to face the wall, so dont look in any other direction, then the dubbeldodge should work on the jumppads. For the hoverboard in high speed aprouche its really hard to face the wall and then press dubbeldodge.

I really used it alot

i know that it still woks if u concentrate and if i hit wall 100%. but before 2.0 it was possible to dodge always and in every way u were standing to wall.. i want that back... walldodges shouldnt be harder then dodge jumps lol

yeah it really sucks, I want it back too  xxxblink.gif

It was really usefull when u had flag, so u could dodge many shots or what so ever.

faking epic, they dont even play their own game ? or they play it but then they are those kinda noobs who ask where the hoverboard is..

You're right, they are kidna n00bs in their own game, i saw one video showing their test team at word  laughanim2.gif

Epic playing UT3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbax6tUmwjk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbax6tUmwjk)

haha i saw such cases sometimes  Crazysmile1  Some guy leaves raptor/manta near the flag, takes the flag, tries to go away, smb takes his raptor/manta and kills him with his own vehicle  laughanim2.gif

Some players do only harm for their team... ::)

I've written them.
I hope I did not forget a lot because I'm pretty tired right now   Crazysmile1
(However, the 8th point is not in my E-Mail but in other forums, I just forgot it in my E-Mail).

Vegas, what about the Nemesis?
Is there definitely a delay during moving?
If yes, I will write them again, no problem :D

----------------
I want to write some issues which are caused by patch 2.0 and which are not fixed by patch 2.1 beta 2:
(Excuse me if some things are already fixed, I have not tested the patch online to confirm features like vote menu).

Overview:
1. Avril reload sequence prevents from switching quickly to a weapon
2. WAR-Confrontation has another exploit
3. Team orb sometimes dissapears from mini map
4. Walljump problems
5. Vote menu comes too early after the match has ended
6. Vote menu does not show the map with the most votes
7. Double clicking on map menu
8. There is no message button during matches

1.
After an Avril shot, you cannot switch to a weapon quickly. You have to wait around 1 second. There were some fast firing Avril exploit which you successfully fixed. Unfortunatelly, you broke the switching.
A work-around is to press the number for the weapon twice.
However, a real fix would be very nice!

2.
You've fixed the Raptor exploit, however, there is another trick to enter the core room. You just need a vehicle (Scorpion is perfect) and your hoverboard.
In this case I used the Scorpion's self-destruction and while being in air, I just got on my hoverboard:

(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4779/screenshot00166.th.jpg) (http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4779/screenshot00166.jpg)(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2479/screenshot00167.th.jpg) (http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2479/screenshot00167.jpg)
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2564/screenshot00168a.th.jpg) (http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2564/screenshot00168a.jpg)

3.
Since patch 2.0 me and other players sometimes cannot see the own orb on the mini map. Even after the match was over and another map came, we could not see it. I happened on Epic Midway Warfare servers as well.
As you can see, there is no orb visible on the mini map:
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9444/screenshot00149.th.jpg) (http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9444/screenshot00149.jpg)(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1567/screenshot00150.th.jpg) (http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1567/screenshot00150.jpg)

4.
Many friends complain that walljumps are much more difficult now. Especially after jumping with the hoverboard and getting off it while being in air. Also after jumping on a jump pad (for example Suspense) shall be more difficult now.
Walljumps on edges are nearly impossible as far as I heard.
I cannot say anything to it because I never use it, but I read several posts that something was (badly) changed.

5.
You can automatically see the scores between all rounds during a match. However, after a match has ended, you will immediately be redirected to the vote menu without seeing the scores.

6.
In version 1.3 you always could see which maps the most votes have. Now you have to scroll, to look and to compar.
I heard there is also a problem that the scroll bar will be messed up if one of the 1st maps will have the most votes.

7.
The one click for the main menu works perfectly, but what about the mod and map part?

8.
You can get messages during online matches but you cannot read them because the message tab is not available.
You have to quit the match and read them in your community menu.

Okay, if I find any other issues, I will write you as soon as possible.

Thank you for reading!

Best regards,

Nightmare85

Greets :D

I recon this 2.1 patch will be released next Thursday, when Europe gets the Titan Pack for PS3

Lol epic failed big time  tongue1
~3 weeks after their titan pack and patch 2.0 comes a new patch xD

Yes, Nemesis still shoots slow some times when there should be a higher shooting rate. =/

well i had this problem with nemesis (shootrate) also before 2.0.... i guess it came already with 1.1

Great list, Nightmare! I hope they fix the bugs mentioned in it, especially avril, walljumps and messages tab...

If your nemesis shooting to slow, you have to shoot and pressing C and Space, again while shooting than it shoots faster, if you guys mean that^^

hmmmmmmmmm yes i had to do that often

Yeah, I've feel this bug frequently in sand. And in the worst case, as u need full power.

And Bloody, its much better to fix short time after release, then insist on a bad work.  tongue1

Beta 2 changelist

Beta 3 changelist

Good that they have finally fixed the WAR-Confrontation exploits.
Strangely, they didn't even touch the map (the file: WAR-Confrontation.ut3) but the exploits are fixed.

I will write them an e-mail again tomorrow.
Let's see if they will fix some other "new" annoying things.
You guys cry about the walljump, I cry about the Avril reload sequence and Epic just laugh :D

Greets

I wish them to fix the avril bug finally ;(  Takes too long to switch weapon.

i wish them to fix the walldodge finally ;( takes too long to escape from base.

i wish them to remove maps like stranded... cause they suck

Stranded rocks! ...when you are blue...

I wish them to patch back to 1.3 ;( takes too long to wait for a patch that fixes all this new problems.

I'm trying to find a work-around for fixing the Avril problem until it gets officially fixed.
If you quickly press the key for the weapon twice, you will immediately get your weapon (it's like you force it).
It does not work for scroll wheel or the key for switch to best weapon.
However, it works for any other keys, for example from 1 till 9).
Shoot an Avril, press quickly the 4 twice and you will get your Shock Rifle as it was in 1.3 possible.

There is a very good thread in Epic forums about any keybindings.
I have asked there and if I got a solution, I will post it here as well.
Or maybe you have a solution too?^^

Greets

Actually i was using the same way you described. I have no other ways. :-[

Okay I think it finally works for me  xxxw00t.gif

(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2531/g9macroavrilfixfinal.jpg)

Patch 2.0 for the win!!!111  xxxras.gif  xxxlaugh.gif
(No, serious: I also hope they will fix this and other things as soon as possible...)

Greets

I also thought about binds and stuff like this - but I rather downgrade to 1.3 again if Epic doesn't fix it itself! ...the only problem will be the 2.0 server for clanwars, I won't be able to join there...

I think I have found out a better solution!!
Right now, I wanted to update my say scripts and then I saw this:
Bindings=(Name="GBA_Fire",Command="StartFire | OnRelease StopFire")
So I thought (Can't this be used to fix the Avril problem?)
Then I tried out:
Bindings=(Name="F1", Command="switchweapon 8 | OnRelease switchweapon 8")
After shooting an Avril, I quickly pressed F1 and I got my Rocket Launcher!

That means you just have to update the existing commands from
Bindings=(Name="GBA_SwitchWeapon1",Command="switchweapon 1")
etc.
to
Bindings=(Name="GBA_SwitchWeapon1",Command="switchweapon 1 | OnRelease switchweapon 1")
etc.

Or just use any other keys like I do.

Try it out and say if it works.

Greets

That's awesome! Going to try :)

I can confirm it works very well!
Of course it's still not as good as it was in 1.3, but much better than 2.0 standard.

Greets

I heard the final version of patch 2.1 will come tomorrow!

Let's see ;)

Greets

Okay, it's out now, get it :D

Greets

I just hope the avrils and the server browser are fixed, that means they are turned back as in 1.3. ...checking the list now  wink2.gif

Edit: server browser should count the number of players correctly  msn009.gif, but the word "avril" is not mentioned in the changelog  msn004.gif

Honestly, I'm dissappointed when I just read the list...

Well, it took really long and I don't see any special differences between 2.1 Beta 3 and Final.

That guys aren't nice...

Greets

New patch is an EPIC waste of time

Yet another reason to quit the game

Epic forgot to copy and paste this:


 xxxlaugh.gif  xxxlaugh.gif  xxxlaugh.gif

Damn I thought I read things like these several times in patch notes but nothing felt better.
Well, that really seems like just "copy and paste" omg lol  xxxlaugh.gif

Greets

Let's see what it is...

Ultimatly I think all would be more satisfyed if our beloved game would be open source. They waste no time, not theyr, not our 4 patches which are annoying crap, but we get a stable, user friendly and cool looking UT3.  xxxras.gif

It would be too nice if someone puts that much effort in the development of a game (don't tell me that this wasn't the case with UT3!) and than gives it away as open source.

Oh god, Warfare is annoying every 2 rounds because of the missing orb on the mini map and the missing announcements.
I mean the "enemy orb carrier incoming".
You can lose Nodes very quickly!

It seems like this:
"There is no orb visible on the mini map every 2 rounds and furthermore you will not hear any announcements"

Greets

I played war yesterday with same bug! Orb is not visible mothefucka!!! wtf??
