Ut2004

[floppybootstomp]

I haven't had UT2004 installed since October when I upgraded my motherboard and carried out a fresh OS install.

I fancy loading this thing up again now, I need a break from CoD.

So, anybody know a good site or two where I can get all the latest patches, mods & maps to bring me up to date for online?

Well I can see we gotta lotta UT2004 fans here then, lol

Oh well, I'll have a search around, I was rather hoping one of you may know somewhere good.

No worries

Thanks Thermaltke - excellent

I did get the 3339 patch and some extra maps, and loaded on UT2004/patch.

But over the last 24 hours, on and off, I've been doing a fresh install. In short, I thought one of my Raptor drives was dying, half a RAID array, it was clicking and the system would freeze intermittently.

But I took the drives out, cleaned them, used new SATA data cables, used the SATA power connectors rather than the Molex plugs, and low level formatted them both.

Have just installed XP/SP2 slipstreamed and just about got everything back on there now, just Winamp to go, I think.

And now it's flying like greased lightning, something was definitely wrong before. The whole symptoms, apart from the physical clicking, smacked of a virus, but that seems unlikely.

Oh well, all is good at the moment, so I'm just about to load UT2004 on again. Luckily I saved the patch and maps to a seperate drive, so don't have to d/l them again. I shall check out the sites you recommended.

I've never played Counter Strike. I have CS:Source but am a bit wary of playing cos I shall be such a hopeless noob Suppose I gotta start somewhere though...

hey man i cant say im much better, and at a recent lan i seemed more into the drinking than the gaming

Edit - had to remove that pic I'm afraid, had the hand been in a different place it would have been ok!

 

[Kenny]

er..... love the pic...though i personally wouldnt ever post something like that.. i`d be too ashamed

 

[Thermaltke]

fair enough, i though i'd be pushing you but its your decision, funny while it lasted

 

[Kenny]

Hey thermaltke- I see from your sig that you`re running Windows XP64. I tried that when I first got my A64 up an running but none of my file backups would work. Actually, not much worked at all, CD`s wouldnt detect in the drive, couldnt get on the internet etc etc. Is the XP64 beta a full OS or does it have to be installed over XP Pro 32-bit?

Cheers,
Kenny

 

[Thermaltke]

well at this precise moment it is still in BETA, available for free downloading, but nothing of mine worked wither, so i swapped it for xp pro again, just wait for the real OS to come out

 

[Kenny]

ok. Kinda makes me feel better that i`m not the only one.... (no offence)
