CUT2:Evolution Release 1 Bug Thread

[T-Bone7]

I've played this excellent mod all day, and it's great. But a few things really annoy me. I've had it crash twice, same bug as mentioned, unrecoverable (Windows 2k Pro, most stable windows). Both times were right before I shot the crossbow at a bot in instant action. one was with chaos mute and other arena mute. Also, I don't think this is a bug, but to me it's the most annoying thing: launched grenades fly to the side when you strafe. Yes, I know it would happen in real life because launched projectiles would keep the momentum of your strafing, but nothing else in UT works this way and sometimes I have a hard time figuring out where my grenade will go (It often kills me). Please make it fly like a flak grenade? And, I know this is a beta, but the laser dots have a square background to them and it looks very unprofessional. Lastly, the most odd bug I've ever seen: in KOTH-MistyValley with Chaos mute on, My whole view was tilted a little one way, even in spectate mode, making me a bit dizzy. This only happened 1 out of 3 times playing the map. Have you guys given thought to an Assault Rifle replacement? And when is the sword coming? And the Chaos mute needs a config to specify what weapons you want to use. If you use arena mute, only the default ammo appears... Anyways, sorry to sound so critical, just providing (hopefully useful) feedback. Great mod, guys, keep up the good work! I hope you win the MSU!

Has everyone experiencing this bug been using Windows XP? heard.

I run XP and evry 20 headshots (in averege) it gets stuck I find it easy to
evoid this crush just by shoting for the limbs.

[defalc]

acc in the INA forums said he pinned the big freeze down to an arrow having headshot someone and then headshotting someone else. Mine just locked, with the last error message being 'Domina lost her head from blah's crossbow' or whatever.

[jb]

ok.. for the thing of the weapon.. all the weapon bring me to window EXEPT the stalker.. mmMMm! i got Directx9 and the lastest drivers!
WHAT CAN I DO??? DAAAMN HEEELP!

Bastard Sword, not sure I follow. Your still locking up?

[jb]

T-Bone7,

we can tweak the Grenades and Fireminds to avoid that. No Problem. I think with ACC's findings we can fix the lock up bug. The laser dot works great on my PC. I think its a issue with the way the texture is made and your video card/settings. I have a ATI R9700 Pro and all details set to max. Dot looks great. Can you tell me your video settings in UT2k3 and what type of Video card you have? With this info we should be able to fix the dot to show up on all video cards and combinations. We will also find away so that when you select a arena mut it loads the other ammo types as well.

halprin,
any luck yet? You may have to re-download the zip versions. In the past for older UT Chaos we had to do that so our Mac users could play.

CUT Team,
can one of your verify ACC's finding that its when an arrowbolt/head combination hits another player this lock up happens. If so the fix could be as simple as turring off collision on that for all non world geos.

Going in to try it right now JB

[Arclight492]

Hello,

I'm new here and just got CUT2, played the version for UT all the time, loved it. Lastnight when i was playing CUT2 on CTF on the map BollwerkRuins2, the bots on the other team would not pick up the flag, they would run to my flag and just sit there. I only had the bots set on experienced. the only mutators i had running besides CUT2 were quad-jump and regeneration. I'll be trying a few of my other maps to see if it happens on those as well. Other than that, the mod looks and plays awesome, well worth the wait for it. Great job.

Just a question, does the crossbow still have melee damage from the spikes like it did in ChaosUT?

[jeditobe1]

Ok just had 3 crashes in a row trying to repeat it (dont know how successful i was with a double headshot, but let me continue).

The first time it was about 1 second into a match when a bot headshotted another bot

The second time i had tried to line up a double headshot, fired once and did not see to get a crash, as soon as i pressed fire again aiming in the same direction (at the body that had just disappeared but where arrows were floating at headhight in midair) the game crashed.

The third time i tried to line up again, and this time might have been more accurate, but again it didnt seem to get a double kill, but when i pulled the trigger again the game froze.

EDIT:
Tried it again, this time with more slomo and a better angle on a longer shot. It removed the head from the first player, and continued on. As soon as it impacted the collision box of the second player, the game crashed.

[Wormbo]

I think I found the cause for the crossbow headshot bug and fixed it.
It only happens when you do a headshot and hit another player after that. The other player will be pushed with an incredible force and ends up inside a wall causing heavy logging and even crashes because the engine can't handle such large velocities.

I know it won't really help you, but just try to avoid headshots if there's more than one enemy around until we release a fix.

[Tha Bastard Sword]

ok.. i gonna be more accurate..

i start UT2003.
i go in Instant Action
i Enable the CUT mut
i take the pyramids map (KOTH)
i put NO BOTS!
i start the game
everything load fine
i take a weapon (CLAW 2)
i laught at the seen of the lil monster
i trow the little monster.
the lil monster turn blue and stay here..
i walk to the lil monster
HE GONNA EXPLODE!!
I BEGIN TO BE AFRAID AND.....
the game crash,
i turn back to windows
with the same ol bug i told ya...
and it do this to every weapon i use, exept the stalker!
i got directx 9
and the second (not the lastest) driver for my card
oh and i have XP
and a RADEON 9000
and 359mb of RAM
thx for your help

[Wormbo]

Tha Bastard Sword:
Please tell us which other mutators you used (if any) and if you got any error message after UT2003 crashed.

Also please explain what this "stalker" is.
(We already figured out ourselves that you played an instant action KOTH match on KOTH-Pyramid and alt-fired a proxy mine ("lil monster") with the claw, then walked over it to make it angry.)

[jb]

TY SOOO much Wormbo so I did not think to check that in the code

[T-Bone7]

T-Bone7,

we can tweak the Grenades and Fireminds to avoid that. No Problem.

Of course you can, but will you? Why was it like that in the first place? Ugh, I can't stand that.

EDIT: Sorry, I thought that you guys meant to have it work like that. looking more closely it's only the default ammo of the grenade launcher that does that.

The laser dot works great on my PC. I think its a issue with the way the texture is made and your video card/settings. I have a ATI R9700 Pro and all details set to max. Dot looks great. Can you tell me your video settings in UT2k3 and what type of Video card you have? With this info we should be able to fix the dot to show up on all video cards and combinations.

I have a GeForce 2 Pro and the detail settings do not matter, I have now tried that. I also tried it on the family computer that has a Geforce 256, does the same thing, so it must be nVidia cards.

[[SSB]Major_Wilson]

i have had no problems with the dot on the sniper rifle and i have 3 nvidia cards, geforece 256 32mb, geforce 4 mx 64mb and a GF4 4600ti 128mb all runing version 44.03 of the nvidia drivers and it looks ok on all of em.
