Stumbles by the blue light thing in the room on the lower right as you look towards the structure from outside, and the indoor fans. Aside from that, it was only a couple under 60 solid for Epic settings with medium textures.

You might have a decent shot! I have an AMD A6-4400M APU 2.7GHz Dual-Core CPU with a Radeon HD 7520G GPU. It sounds impressive but it's quite low-end in terms of modern gaming. This current pre-Alpha build of UT runs like a dream on it. Lowest settings across the board but I just played a Deathmatch on a fully textured map and the frame rate was stable and solid. 60fps with zero slow down to my shock and amazement. Never expected a next generation UT to run so well on this computer but it somehow does.
Also of note is that even all these years later UT is still an exhilarating blast to play. Had so much fun just now.
Just played a quick bot match.
As expected from pre-alpha, the bots are dumb as a box of rocks.
It looks like they've put in UT2003's dodging mechanics (double-tap directional keys to do a quick jump), although the wall jump is hilariously broken because you can wall jump infinitely (especially with the low-grav mutator enabled).
Ran quite smoothly on my GTX750ti.

That dodge was all the way back in UT99. 2003 added the double jump and wall jump though.

Not broken. Intended.

Downloading now, yay!
Ah! That's good, because it was one of those "not sure if intended" things and I really liked it. Glad to know it's an intended feature and not a glitch that will disappear in a future build.

Absolutely no problems running this with your 970. Your card would crush this game at half its stock clock speed.

From my experience trying it and a frametime graph posted in the other time it has very consistent frametimes too, which is really great.
ue3 games in general (and some especially like bioshock infinite aka stuttershock infinite) have way too much stutter
Making an arena game without consistent stutterfree framerates would be incredibly pointless

I'm hoping that the UE4 performance on lower tier cards means that the next Gears will look incredible on the Xbox One.

It's community (with epic) made so I wouldn't be so sure.
It's been available in pre-alpha since sometime last year, it just only got high-res texture maps today.
There's already a thread on that from this morning, as well.

There were multiple composers (3 or 4 IIRC) in UT99. And lots of time ago they were supposed to be talking to them but no idea how did it turn out..

The bigger hold up was that you needed a UE4 subscription to get to it. Now that those are done away with, it only just now recently became widely available.

Both Alexander Brandon and Michiel van den Bos are back to compose for this game!

120fps with ease.
I was getting worked all night, but damn this is already shaping up to be awesome.

No you didn't. Originally that was the case but fans were building UT and releasing it, then months back Epic started putting out weekly builds for non-subscribers to play without having to go through the hassle of finding the community released builds.

How does a crowd source developed application stay organized so that one person's work doesn't bork everyone else's stuff?

My apologies if this thread is redundant. I wasn't previously aware that the new UT pre-alpha was available to download and play. I did do multiple searches before creating this thread.
Little video of gameplay I made yesterday:

It's quite fun for such an early game!

Yup, there were public builds for the longest time. All you needed was an account on the forums to access the download links.

I have an extremely low-end laptop and this auto-detected my hardware, reduced everything to the lowest settings and I managed to play a Deathmatch at a super slick, solid and stable frame rate. It scales low and shows dramatic performance improvements compared to previous builds they've released. Earlier builds stuttered like hell with lag that rendered the game unplayable. This runs like a dream. Lowest settings but still very playable. If it's running this well already I'm excited for future builds.
If you think your hardware won't run it give it a shot anyway. It probably will.
This excites me! Should be able to play. 😆

Ah I see. I stopped paying attention after Epic shut down the community builds I followed.

After you tweak the ini files, ANY game can run easily... i got UT3 running well on a 5 year old PC after tweaking it enough so it looked worse than UT2k4...

I'm playing on High at 1440p and it's pretty smooth. I might have to lower it though because there are some instances where it stutters.
Game is already awesome, I really hope this game takes off competitively so MOBA's can stop dominating eSports all the time.
But after a decade of CoD and Halo, I suck major ass.

You were able to run UT2004 on cards like Voodoo 3 or ATI Rage, so I guess it's not unusual for this series. I'm pretty sure this runs better on today's low-end than 2k4 did on these specs, though.
Oh well thats still good news. People that actually knew what made the early Unreal game soundtracks so great might contribute.
Holy shit! Alexander Brandon?! Michiel van den Bos?!

I wasn't able to get an online game to start. Everyone in the lobby was complaining about it too, so looks like a bug.
I did get a bot match going offline though. Game runs beautifully on high settings on my PC (a not-too-impressive rig that was only about $700 in 2011). Even at this current early state, the game looks fantastic.
I'm excited for the modding community that will spring up for this game. Given UE4's ease of use it should be easier than ever for people to create their own content (maps, characters) for the game. Really exciting time for be a PC gamer!

Won my first online round. I'm happy.

... and this thing averages at around 100 fps with everything set to "Epic" (1080p). Except when I'm running capture software like Dxtory. This engine is heaven. There need to be more games with this engine. It runs so good at this pre-alpha state. It's incredible.
And yes, I am aware that this is a great PC, but there are several games which look worse and perform worse. I am really impressed right now. Oh, and it's fun as fuck.
