Topic: Possible shutdown of epic game servers | |||||||||||||||||||

Forum: General Discussion Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2023 5:30 am Subject: Re: Possible shutdown of epic game servers | ||||||||||||||||||
Just an FYI: the dU gaming servers are currently no longer advertised, since they were probably relying on Epic's master server to do the job, which means no matter the client a player has installed, unless they have them favorited or know the IPs, they won't be able to find them via UT browser. You either update the servers to v469c, which features community-hosted working master servers, or you manually edit your UnrealTournament.ini file adding these master servers:
As a last resort, if no changes are made, you may use this link:

1) AFAIK this bug affects both new d3d and opengl renderers (haven't tested it with d3d10 though) 2) I tried messing with the precache, high detail actors and masked texture hack settings but none of those worked. 3) If you wanna stick with S3TC support you should ask the mapper to add an Alpha channel to the textures and force them being masked all the time, provided it would work. Check
and also Â
TBH I'd just give up on the S3TC textures, way too many problems they cause. |

For those who are still experiencing masked textures problems (i.e. solid pitch black background instead of transparent for some textures), if you're using the high resolution S3TC textures, I strongly recommend opening your system console, type "preferences", then under the Rendering section set the "UseS3TCTextures" entry to False, then go to your UT installation folder and swap the Textures folder with the "CD 1" original textures. I don't know what causes this, but having the high res textures support enabled on newer renderers messes up with some masked textures For more detailed info read also
Thanks to Dem for the heads-up |

I didn't know the old unreal community had kept developing those renderers, I will check it out, thanks for sharing. [Edit to add] Ok I installed and checked the latest XOpenGL (version 1.0.0.9), and it makes the game unplayable for me, the FPS range from 6 to 20 at best, and even the cursor in the menu lags at the same resolution and color depth I was using before. I'm gonna downgrade to the old one. Maybe it is meant for high end rigs. |

I thought this could be useful for new players or even for some old ones, so I decided to make a specific thread about it. UT comes with an old D3D7 renderer which is buggy and has very few settings, and a rather sketchy OpenGL support. If you wanna get the best out of the game (framerate cap and high resolution S3TC textures support for example), you may consider installing an updated D3D and/or OpenGL renderer. I added the Glide Wrapper to the list for those Voodoo cards nostalgic as well. D3D8, D3D9 and OpenGL 3.7
D3D10
Glide Wrapper

It both happens underwater and on terrains, so different zones don't seem to affect it.
Uh? I see no contradiction in my posts, I simply suggested you asking permission since there's a lot of tension lately among people in the community and i wanted to avoid any unnecessary drama. Forgive me if I didn't know you were close friend with Thunderbolt, my bad. Â
Not sure what you mean here, if you meants my multiple posts, I was just posting updates as I was gathering new info on the matter, didn't think it would bother anyone actually.
If you can actually fix it, it would be great if you could directly talk about it to Thunder, since I tried myself and didn't get a positive response.
Thanks to you for your input as well and the technical explanation behind the error. I've been experiencing this for quite some time so I just wanted to nail the possible causes.
I made a specific thread for that:

After some testing I've finally found out the issue: the decorations work as they are supposed to do only if you're using the stock D3D7 video renderer, any other one, OpenGL included, doesn't support them. I have no clue why this happens, maybe some video settings have been disabled with the newer renderers. | |||||||||||||||||||

I contacted Thunderbolt, he stated he flagged the textures correctly and if they don't work is a problem related to the player(s). I took my time to download and test the map to help, if that's not needed I'm not going to troubleshoot this anymore. I simply wanted to know what is causing it and why only to some players. @Terraniux Since it's not your work you should contact the original author and discuss about it, provided you're willing to do so. Attached you can find the screenshot of the texture properties sent to me by Thunderbolt. |

@Mireya I never stated you guys weren't moved to another server, you keep on highlighting the fact you were moved, but you fail to see the reason why you were moved. I wasn't there and there are no logs, but I doubt an admin goes crazy and moves players at random without a valid reason, but this is what the three of you is basically implying instead. @Ultra I don't know you, I'm only trying to keep this discussion civil, and I'm glad you did the same. No hard feelings at all for me. |

Those are serious accusations, you posted two whole threads about it yet we haven't seen any proofs about it. Next time you accuse someone, be sure you can back up your words with chatlogs, screenshots and demos.
It's up to the server admins (both head admins and staff) to decide what's right to do, not to you. |

I just tested this map offline, and as for most of Thunderbolt's maps, I have an issue with some decorations used, that is, some plants/trees have a black square/rectangle surrounding them. I think it's an issue related to masked (transparent) textures, and I recall someone told me reconnecting would fix it online (which doesn't work by the way), and well guess what, I'm having the same problem offline. All other textures both stock and custom work fine, is there a way of fixing this? Is it just me experiencing this problem? However, I tracked down the texture pack causing this, and it's the ThunderboltRunePack.utx package, see attached screenshot to get an idea of what am I talking about. |

That's interesting, would be nice if we could make a unique thread with all map related problems.
First of all, I think that's a conversion from an Assault map. Second, the deaths cannot be avoided, I.E. the player dies as soon as he approaches the lever to activate it. Third, maybe it made some sense in assault to force a player's death  in order to open a gate (fail to see how though), but it seems rather stupid to me  that occurs also in a MH conversion, specially on a server that subtracts one third of your score upon death. A player triggered two of those levers, died both times and left afterwards. |
