Après le patch 3323, voici qu'un 5 ème patch est en preparation pour UT2004. Il est principalement destiné à l'amelioration des véhicules de l'Editor's Choice Edition.

Voici le changelog annoncé pour ce correctif, dont le numéro de version n'est pas encore connu. Onslaught related:

• Added a gunner indicator for the Cicada.
  
• Onslaught low skill bot AI tweaks
  
• Max lifespan for shot down ONSMortarCamera
  
• Fixed regular dust showing when Manta jumps over water
  
• Fixed Cicada staying above StallZ if driver switches to gunner position
  
• Fixed SPMA engine sound volume
  
• Tweaked powercore destruction and electricity sounds
  
• Improved artillery explosion effect

General Gameplay:

• Fixed Berserk combo (properly turns client side weapon changes on and off)
  
• Fixed quadjump mutator in multiplay (was only allowing regular double jump on first jump)
  
• Fixed gamespeed mutator "sticking" in instant action games
• Don't let Cicada passengers carry flag (for VCTF)
  
• Added OnslaughtBP.UCL to patch so bonus pack mutators will show up
  
• Fixed problem with landing view shake sometimes not working at very low frame rates
  
• Fixed bug where not all actors got NotifyTeamChanged() when client team changed
  
• Assault objective announcements can come from packages other than AssaultAnnouncer
  
• IonCannonKillVolume bug fixes
  
• Don't allow players to change teams if team sizes are equal if bPlayersBalanceTeams is true
  
• Fixed team balancing code bug
  
• Fixed footstep sounds playing while in vehicle where driver isn't visible if enter while running
  
• Removed obsolete weapon debugging code

Demo recording:

• Fixed client-side demo recording of vehicles

Networking:

• Fixed WebAdmin play list to report the proper ping.
  
• Fixed resetting initial position of saved move when moves are combined
  
• Increased min idle kick time to 30 seconds
  
• Never idle kick player if only human in game
  
• Moved gamespeed option in URL parsing to after mutator spawning, so gamespeed can be set from URL
  
• More speedhack detection tweaks (less false positives)
  
• Server CPU use improvements relative to last patch
  
• Consider CPU saturation in determining whether to do extra work on server to reduce bandwidth use for low bandwidth clients

Menus:

• Fixed map list menu problems with bonus vehicles and custom link setups.

Mod Author Related:

• Fixed spider physics view direction setting bug
  
• Added (slow) full dangling reference checking (server side only) option. Logs dangling references which could cause a crash during gameplay or on GC. Use only for testing, as it is very slow, by adding bServerRefChecking=true to the [Engine.Engine] section of UT2004.ini. Run a dedicated server with bots, connect to it to start it up, and let them go at it.

Il n'y a plus qu'à attendre que ce patch sorte !
