Unreal Tournament Xbox v1.1.9b Public Test

Unreal Tournament Xbox v1.1.9b Public Test

This is a public test build for the upcoming version 1.2 release. It is a full
package, not a patch. Please install it in a clean folder and follow the
included installation instructions.

Visual fixes

• Fixed the texture and lighting flicker that could make maps suddenly become
  dark, overly bright, smeared, or stretched while playing
• Fixed related problems that appeared after changing brightness, contrast,
  and gamma
• Tested the fixes while following moving bots through several visually varied
  maps and repeatedly changing the display settings
• Reduced intermittent texture pop-in and gameplay hitches caused by the
  renderer recycling active texture-cache entries too early

Mutators and game modes

• Restored all fourteen standard Unreal Tournament mutators to the Xbox menu
• Added AgentX 0.99 and Akimbo Arena
• Fixed OldSkool Weapons so its Unreal minigun replaces the standard Unreal
  Tournament minigun
• Added Last Man Standing to Instant Action, Split Screen, and System Link
• Last Man Standing includes the expected lives setting, deathmatch maps, and
  no-time-limit rules
• Fixed the OldSkool minigun's looping sound playing too slowly and at too low
  a pitch

Console maps

• Fixed startup failures in CTF-Phalanx, CTF-Spirito, CTF-Stormfront,
  CTF-Sundial, DM-CanyonFear, DM-Halberd, DM-Hood, and DM-Pantheon
• Rechecked all eight maps in live matches with bots

System Link (experimental)

• Improved joining, leaving, reconnecting, returning to the lobby, and moving
  to the next map
• Fixed false connection warnings that could appear during an otherwise healthy
  match
• The connection-problem icon remains active and will still appear when the
  game detects a genuine network problem
• Tested hosting, joining, map changes, connection loss, failed joins, lobby
  re-entry, and longer two-console-emulator sessions

Tournament and menus

• Fixed the first match of a Tournament ladder crashing during loading
• Verified the first match and progress advance in all five Tournament ladders
• Fixed long menu pauses that could freeze both the music and CityIntro for
  several seconds
• Added the current version number to the bottom-right of the main-menu footer

Widescreen preview

• Added automatic widescreen detection using the Xbox dashboard setting
• Widescreen gameplay now shows a wider view instead of stretching the 4:3
  game world
• The original 4:3 view remains available when widescreen is disabled in the
  dashboard

Known limitations

• The HUD and menus still stretch horizontally in widescreen
• Safe Area Size currently changes the entire picture rather than only moving
  the HUD inward
• Four-player widescreen and a wider range of real-Xbox HDMI/capture setups
  still need additional testing
• Co-op Tournament is not included in this public test

Reporting problems

Please include the following details when opening a GitHub issue

• The map and game mode
• Player and bot count
• Display and widescreen settings
• Whether the match was local or System Link
• What happened immediately before the problem
• Screenshots or short videos when the problem is visual

Please also upload your ut99.log file whenever possible

• Use an Xbox FTP program to copy ut99.log from the game folder on your Xbox
  to your PC; it is normally beside default.xbe in the folder often named
  UT99x
• Open or create the GitHub issue and click inside the large description
  textbox
• Drag ut99.log from File Explorer and drop it directly into that textbox
• Wait for GitHub to finish uploading it and insert a file link before
  submitting the issue
• If drag and drop does not work, click the attachment link at the bottom of
  the textbox and select ut99.log manually
