v1.0.6

UFC 3 Recomp v1.0.6

Needs your own UFC Undisputed 3 disc image (.iso). No game files are included. The launcher self-updates from v1.0.4 and later; your settings, saves and mods are not touched.

What's new

• Render scale 2x and above works for created fighters. Skin, face, portraits and shirts no longer turn black or to colored noise, and damage, cuts and blood show up on the face.
• Rocked black screen fixed (Vulkan).
• Fewer hitches when you save or apply clothing in the fighter creator.
• Crash guard: Liddell vs Quarry (PRIDE) after loading the match several times in one session should no longer crash (the guard is in; that exact case was not replayed).
• Missing base fighters fixed: without the mod pack, some disc fighters (for example Brock Lesnar) could disappear from fighter select. Existing saves get them back.
• Mod pack 1.0.6 (added fighters):
  • No more line on the shins of the UFC 2009 fighters.
  • Walkout and winner T-shirts fit: each added fighter wears the UFC 3 shirt cut that fits his body, so skin no longer pokes through.
  • UFC 2010 and Forever fighters walk out in their own shirt designs (for example Keith Jardine's Tapout shirt).
  • Changed ratings (for example Chuck Liddell and Classic Tito at 90) apply to saves that already have the fighter.
• Launcher 1.0.6: the Bloom off option is described honestly (no visible effect); the stale Direct3D 12 hint is removed.

Render scale, window size and backends

• Render scale: 1x = 720p, 2x = 1440p, 3x = 4K, 4x = 5K+. It sets sharpness and GPU cost.
• Window / output size is separate (the window, or your screen in borderless fullscreen, F11). The picture is scaled to fit it.
• Vulkan is the default and the better tested. Direct3D 12 works too (checked at 3x, including a rocked fighter).

Known issues

• Select-screen pictures of UFC 2009/2010 ports are framed closer than the rest.
• Created-fighter card portrait is a little low-res.
• At 3x, opponent sponsor logos are drawn at 1x.
• 8 added fighters skip the hometown line in their intro.
• Created-fighter portraits saved by older versions stay garbled; make the portrait again.
• Bloom off currently has no visible effect.
• Added fighters: gloves can look crumpled on an open hand in walkouts and winner announcements; a little skin can show at the armpit of the UFC 2009 fighters' shirts when they raise their arms.

Downloads

• UFC3-Recomp-v1.0.6.zip: game + launcher.
• UFC3-DLSS5-Addon-v1.0.6.zip: optional DLSS 5 add-on (unchanged).
• Mod pack "UFC 3 Legends: Cut Fighters" 1.0.6 (52 fighters): separate download. To install or update it, use the launcher's Mod Pack tab with the new zip; the old version is removed first, and your saves are kept.

v1.0.5

Career mode fixes:

• No more crash at the end of your first real career fight. A GPU copy wrote past the end of its memory; it now writes safely.
• No more crash at your first UFC main-card fight (the one with the special pre-fight intro). The game called a piece of code the recompiler had missed; it's now included.
• Created fighters look right everywhere: the skin in create-a-fighter is clean (no blocky triangles on the stomach/chest), and portraits, magazine covers, the event-screen picture and walkout/post-fight shirts all show properly. The game now gets back the pictures it renders exactly when it reads them, so there is no global slowdown. You may notice a short hitch when saving or applying clothing.
• Portraits saved with older versions stay broken in those saves; new saves get correct ones.
• If the game ever crashes, it now writes a crash dump next to the log, which makes reports much more useful.
• Known: on rare occasions the screen can still go black while a fighter is rocked. Turning on Bloom off and Depth of field off (launcher Settings or F4) avoids it.
• Launcher 1.0.5. The launcher offers this update by itself; your saves, settings and mods are kept.

Downloads: UFC3-Recomp-v1.0.5.zip (launcher + game, no game files), UFC3-DLSS5-Addon-v1.0.5.zip (optional).

v1.0.4

Fixes:

• Career mode opponents and referees render again. Before, the opponent could show up fully black and the referee could vanish. Fixed in the GPU texture path (integer texture formats) and in memory allocation (stale GPU copies are now dropped).
• DLSS 5 setup from loose downloads: the DLSS 5 tab now accepts files unpacked anywhere in the dlss5 folder, and names each missing file and where to get it.
• Launcher 1.0.4. The launcher offers this update by itself; your saves, settings and mods are kept.

Downloads: UFC3-Recomp-v1.0.4.zip (launcher + game, no game files), UFC3-DLSS5-Addon-v1.0.4.zip (optional).

UFC Undisputed 3 Recomp v1.0.3

Fixes:

• Blood no longer slides across the mat at render scale 2 and above. The blood effect now samples at the original console's pixel positions.
• Direct3D 12 hint in the launcher's Settings: if the screen goes black while a fighter is rocked on Direct3D 12, turn on Bloom off and Depth of field off (or use Vulkan, the default, which doesn't have the problem).
• Launcher 1.0.3. The launcher offers this update by itself; your saves, settings and mods are kept.

Downloads: UFC3-Recomp-v1.0.3.zip (launcher + game, no game files), UFC3-DLSS5-Addon-v1.0.3.zip (optional).

UFC Undisputed 3 Recomp v1.0.2

Fixes:

• Alt-tab / switching windows no longer turns the screen black. The game stays in borderless fullscreen instead of the graphics driver's exclusive mode, so focus changes are instant.
• DLSS 5: the helper runs without its own window unless the live settings panel is on, which stops it dropping out.
• Launcher 1.0.2. The launcher offers this update by itself; your saves, settings and mods are kept.

Downloads: UFC3-Recomp-v1.0.2.zip (launcher + game, no game files), UFC3-DLSS5-Addon-v1.0.2.zip (optional).

UFC Undisputed 3 Recomp v1.0.1

Fix: the screen no longer goes black while a fighter is rocked.

• Vulkan is now the default graphics backend, with batched uploads (the fix). Direct3D 12 is still available in the launcher's Settings tab, but it still has the black screen when rocked.
• If you installed v1.0 and picked D3D12 in Settings, switch it to Vulkan.
• Launcher 1.0.1. The launcher offers this update by itself; your saves, settings and mods are kept.

Downloads: UFC3-Recomp-v1.0.1.zip (launcher + game, no game files), UFC3-DLSS5-Addon-v1.0.1.zip (optional).
