Is anyone else having graphical problems after applying the 3204 patch for
Windows?

I can load and play UT2k4 for approx 10 minutes with no problems, both
online and offline play, with different maps, gametypes and 10-24 players.

BUT after about 10 minutes, the map I'm on suddenly reacts like I've hit a
BSP area, with walls vanishing and random textures appearing and major
interface issues?

Tweaks I've made:

- Increase the "TimeMarginSlack" to combat the over-sensitive "Speed Hack"
setting from Epic.

- Disable "UsePrecaching" to speed up map load times.

I don't see how that would produce the effects I'm seeing?

Any help? At All?

Cheers
Nitefoll

P.S. It's NOT my graphics card as I can play every other 3D game I own with
no problems at all.

Not me, I haven't got windows.

Try switching to OpenGL - see our FAQ, in the UT2003 section. It's valid
for UT2004 too.

If removing the patch fixes the problem, then I would simply wait for
the next patch. From what I hear, it's due out any time.

Shouldn`t have applied the patch. You should have logged onto the " Atari
Forums " and see the amount of people having problems after installing this
patch. You can not go back but you`ll have to reinstall UT2k4 again or wait
for the iminent patch to be released.

Hi there!

I don't know whether it is the patch or not, but I've been experiencing
"graphic lags" in UT2004. Don't think it happened before prior to the
patching. No matter how often I restart the game the problem would stay
until I reboot my system. It p*sses me off when I complain online and people
think I'm winding
