Really? So where do I get this thing? That "builds" link just has a readme file in its folder saying I can't get the build there.

the infos in the first post are outdated. Some days ago the community itself released a pre alpha version for non subscriber. 2-3days later Epic asked them to take it down. Now Epic themself released a pre alpha version, only thing you need is an unreal forum account or someone who give you the direct link, what Epic doesnt want us to do. They want feedback and for that people should have a forum account.

edit: maybe we should create a |OT| when GAF server is ready. Something like "Unreal Tournament Pre Alpha |OT| Everything is Placeholder beside the Fun"

I have been trying for a few days to get this to run but it keeps crashing when I try and launch it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the C++ runtimes and it's still throwing an error c000001d at me and force closing.

I've seen others having this problem but I have no idea how to fix it.

You are running the x64 runtime?
It might also be worth uninstalling the x32 one, before trying the x64 again.

Also you need the latest DirectX.

Although it's hard to guess when you don't know what PC/operating system(including Service Pack) that person has.

I'd like to try it out, but it's looking more and more like I'll just have to wait for release.

I'm kinda out of ideas, that looks like a VCRedist error but you already said you installed it, so something else must be messing around.

I can't even begin to play. My mousepad is kaput and I have to wait till my new old one arrives from overseas. :<

Just looking at the gifs and pictures, I hope they don't add too much to the graphics over time. When everything becomes hyperdetailed and the environment has all sorts of moving parts it becomes much more difficult to pick out targets in proper twitch-shooter style. This is a case where adding more can actually make things worse.

Dm-Spacer gives a relative good feel of what they might be going for.

I can't get the private server client to be compatible with the current public alpha release. I even tried editing a few lines and replacing some DLLs with the old ones. No dice. Sorry people.

I am willing to work on the OT with somebody though.

I just played a couple of matches, and it felt like it was impossible to connect any hits, and every shot coming out of my gun seemed delayed. That seems like it can't be right, unless it's just symptomatic of being such an early build.

There isn't really anything going on, even on highest settings.

Side effect of a 'high' ping. Happens for me sometimes.

And high ping in this game is pretty much anything over 40. When you hit 60ms it's barely playable with some weapons. Using the pistol is almost hopeless sometimes because you need to aim ahead of the opponent.

I see there's luckily someone working on some decent netcode in the programming section.
Looks like it'll work for up to 300ms.

I think that's a good idea. This thread seems to have lost its momentum...
Or is it possible to change the thread title to the requested title?

Aren't OT's allowed only for games with release dates/released games? Just use this thread for the time being until public test versions.
