Hi all!

I just patched UT2004 and my PC hangs upon trying to 'Join Game'! I can't
get online now.

Anyone getting a similar problem?

Have you got a firewall that is prompting for access in the
background?

Spot on! Usually, and always, UT2004 would minimise or the firewall prompt
would go on-top of UT2004 on first internet access. However with this new
patch the firewall prompt cannot get on top, hence the blank screen. Worst I
couldn't minimise the UT2004 window nor bring up the Task Manager with
CTRL+ALT+DEL.

The way round this is to uncheck Full Screen so that UT2004 starts up as a
window so the firewall prompt could sneak through the gap.

Thanks for your help!

Yes. Using Linux (Debian Sid), Nvidia 5336 Drivers.

It "sometimes" hangs and sometimes just takes too long connecting to a
server. But no systemwide hang, I can minimise and kill the window..
Patch 3204 was not displaying such a behaviour.
