Delay with UT3 Dedicated Demo Servers ut3

[Flitterkill]

Here's the deal.

 

Apparently when Epic games says the demo *only* works with Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2 they mean *exactly* that.

 

Windows XP SP3? Sorry. SP1? No idea...

Linux was already out of the picture for the demo.

Windows XP Server 2003 (which just about every gaming server provider runs unless Linux)? Nope.

 

Bottom line is that until Epic patches the demo to allow for Windows XP Server 2003 to run, everyone who wants a dedicated server is essentially dead in the water. And no, not many happy campers out there.

 

I'll let you know if/when we get rolling. Sorry kids.

Nooo!

 

Thanks for the update, though.

 

Any word on what the new server will be named?

We created a fix for the game not starting up on Windows XP 64 and Windows Server 2003 systems. This patch has not undergone the same amount of QA as the released demo so I strongly encourage to ONLY replace the UT3Demo.exe with the one from the patch if you are experiencing the "Modified executable code is not allowed" issue at startup.

Look for dedicated server tomorrow probably.
