Unreal Tournament 99 VR v1.0.5

Fixes for PC VR, Quest 3 and Steam Frame.

• Facing Worlds: the sky no longer spins around you in VR. Thanks to Keith.
• Deck 16: a crash during bot matches on PC is fixed. Thanks to prince.drakonas.
• Quest 3 and Steam Frame: the crash fixes from Unreal Gold are in, for the Practice Session menu, level changes and leaving the game.
• Crash on start (PC): a copy of the game on another patch build, such as 469d, could crash as soon as VR started. Setup now checks the exact build and offers to bring your copy to 469e.

Update: open the Game Or Die Installer and press Update (plug in your headset for Quest 3 or Steam Frame), or download the zip for your platform below and run its Setup again. Your saves and settings stay.

v1.0.4 - Calmer flicker on headsets, steadier menu clicks

Fixes for PC VR, Quest 3 and Steam Frame.

• Flickering lights on Quest 3 and Steam Frame: flickering lights were changing much too fast, and differently in each eye. They now flicker the same in both eyes, at the game's own speed.
• Menus: one trigger pull now counts as one click. A double click could close a window right as it opened, like New Game.
• Setup: the free download now uses the Game of the Year CD, and a 1999 copy of the game gets the maps it was missing.
• Game Tome on Quest 3 and Steam Frame: the Controls page now shows the real controllers.
• PCs with two graphics chips: Setup now tells you how to make sure the game runs on the faster one.

Update: open the Game Or Die Installer and press Update (plug in your headset for Quest 3 or Steam Frame), or download the zip for your platform below and run its Setup again. Your saves and settings are kept.

v1.0.3 - Two-handed alt fire fix

Small fixes for PC VR, Quest 3 and Steam Frame.

• Two hands on the gun: alt fire with both hands on the gun (like the Pulse Gun's beam) no longer turns your view away from where you're aiming. Thanks to Keith for the report and the logs.
• VR Options: the crosshair switch is now just called "Game crosshair", so it's clear what it turns on and off.

Update: open the Game Or Die Installer and press Update (plug in your headset for Quest 3 or Steam Frame), or download the zip for your platform below and run its Setup again. Your saves and settings are kept.

v1.0.2 - Smooth on AMD, items on Quest, Steam Frame Library fix

Fixes for PC VR, Quest 3 and Steam Frame.

• PC VR on AMD graphics cards: the frame rate no longer falls to a crawl after a minute in a level. The AMD fix in 1.0.1 never switched on, sorry about that. This one does.
• Quest 3 and Steam Frame: you can switch and use items again. Set them on the Controls page in VR Options (for example X for Next item, Y for Use item).
• Crosshair: turning the game crosshair off in VR Options now hides it.
• Steam Frame: the game now shows in your Library on Frames that already had other non-Steam games. Thanks to Level4242 for tracking this one down.
• Steam Frame: Start waits for Steam to be ready, and Collect logs now includes Steam's own diagnostics.

Update: open the Game Or Die Installer and press Update (plug in your headset for Quest 3 or Steam Frame), or download the zip for your platform below and run its Setup again. Your saves and settings are kept.

v1.0.1 - Steadier frame rate on AMD cards

A fix for PC VR on AMD graphics cards.

• On AMD cards the frame rate could drop from full speed to a crawl after a few minutes of play, and stay down until the next map loaded. This update changes how the game draws its textures on AMD cards to stop that.
• NVIDIA players: nothing changes for you.

Quest 3 and Steam Frame are unchanged.

Update: open the Game Or Die Installer and press Update, or download Unreal-Tournament-99-VR-1.0.1-PCVR.zip below and run its Setup again. Your saves and settings are kept.
