IF YOU ARE CRASHING ON STARTUP, READ THIS FIRST

EDIT: Updated for 3.51 patch

For this patch to work, you need 2 official downloads for Unreal Tournament 2004:

v3323 Patch
ECE bonus pack

Please make sure that both of these are installed before posting.

Also, another common problem is not doing the patches in the correct order. The 3.51 patch is an update from 3.50 ONLY, and will not work if installed on top of 3.00 or 3.01. In other words, if your previous install didnt have relics in it, you need the 3.0 to 3.5 patch first, then this patch.

So if i dont want the beta patch then i just wait until EPIC release the next patch?

Also when is that patch due out?

Assassin X,

for now thats the only thing you can do. Epic wanted to make the patch offical late last week. And they ensured us it wont be much longer. Sorry again for your trouble.

The patch will also be released for all 3 UT04 versions, mac/linux/win, at the same time (32/64bit) and this may be the holdup as they sync versions before release.

Patch is official now, currently is distributing to mirrors.

I am still experiencing a crash when launching a dedicated server for CUT. I patched back after reading this post and it still fails at the launch. Any suggestions?

[jeditobe1]

Well this message was meant for one of our previous releases. However, make sure you have the v3323 patch and ECE bonus pack installed. Also, if you could get the server's .log file, that would be helpful in addressing the problem.

[Vigilante]

The ECE bonus pack is not installed, grabbing that as I type. Thank You for the help!

[Vigilante]

Well I have everything needed installed but she still shuts down after launching, here's the server log info. Hope that helps.

hmm,seems like you lost chaosrelics along the way....

did you install this ontop of 3.0/1 or 3.5?

did relics show up in 3.5

[jb]

Vigilante,

yea he is right. Does not look if everything was installed correctly. What did you patch from/to?

[Vigilante]

I loaded the latest version of Chaos for 3323 over the original (3.01) release of Chaos for UT2K4. Probably the problem. The mirrors are still down on the chaos homepage so I guess I will have to wait to DL 3.5. Thanks for all the help!

[TKATK]

it has to be done either like
3.0-3.01-3.5-3.51
or 3.5-3.51

you just skipped a part

look at the BU newspost,in the comments you can find a link to 3.5

[Vigilante]

I didn't read carefully about the patch requirements, shame on me. All needed files have been DL'd and installed and she is running w/out a hitch. Thanks again for all the support and a great UT2K4 mod!
