Unreal Tournament III Glitches In The System

From Gaming Bits:

"Day one of Unreal Tournament III for the PS3 isn't without a few bumps. One of the more significant bumps is one of the most touted features of UT3 on the PS3: support of mods. Epic Games is aware of a few problems that popped up in the first day of Unreal Tournament III on the PlayStation 3.

So it looks like there is some refining to do. Remember the game was pushed up to make a December 2007 release instead of January 2008. So we inevitably face glitches. The good news is Epic is listening and working on the issues. I did experience the same issues with voice chat. Multiplayer gameplay last night was smooth. This morning it was significantly laggy. We'll keep you posted on any updates or when a patch is coming."

Planet Unreal has posted on the issues.

[THC CELL]

people always trying to sabotage ps3 sad sad sad

so what

get the game enjoy till the patch comes out

[C_SoL]

what game does not have glitches when released.....

[JokesOnYou]

This news is just reporting facts, its not like there hasn't been news stories of 360 games that released with glitches, the sad TRUTH is it happens even with great games sometimes it has bugs, hopefully they will patch it quickly and ps3 owners can enjoy the full potential of the game without these issues, but that said stop acting like a desperate little kid that thinks ps3 should get a pass from people reporting factual info, whether its negative or not. sonykids are a paranoid bunch=

JOY

edit: vvvvv you are so full of sh!t its ridiculous, I'm on my second playthrough on ME and there's no way the game is barely playable because of glitches, it has texture pop-in 2 sec's after loading levels and after cutscenes and it runs smooth, stop the hate sonykid.

edit: I knew you were talking BS, one quick look at your posts and only a few comments back you were hatin' on ME long before it even released,

this is what I mean about sonykids, you are clearly a sony loyalists I doubt you even played ME, you just need a reason to bash the game for your own insecurities= JOY

edit: vvvv juju damm if you're going to pick one of my comments at least pick one where I make up some BS about ps3 game, and pretend I played it= unlike you I don't lie and make up BS, at least I'm not being a hypocrite, talkin sh!t about a game *beforehand and then STILL later buying it and *pretending to give an honest assestment of that same game, yeah uhm, OK whatever *YOU say. Also nowhere in my post did I say 360 games are perfect, in fact I said both consoles games have had their fair share of bugs but if its minor it can still be a great game, you sonykids are just toooooooo paranoid and make everything, EVEN FACTS an attack on ps3/sony, now thats just sad and pathetic that most of you have to join the sdf just to enjoy your games.

[jujunogo]

WTF why every time a good ps3 game come out everyone has to talk about little glitches and problems??? i have a 360 and a ps3 and I can barely play Mass Effect when the battles heat up because the game is so Choppy And Orange box on 360 has framerate problems also and gears of war even had online flaws people blinking all over the place or losing connection every 5 secs but they wear good games so you heared no complaining..UT3 is a good game but just because its on ps3 its flaws have to be highlighted WTF!!!!!!!!!

And your not a loyalist yuor a freaking drag queen xbot whos hating on ps3 why are you even on this topic when we all know you dont have a ps3 you rim givin cunt

[TheSadTruth]

you kids are given GOOD NEWS and you have to make it about the 360

I play Halo 3 and Bungie has still not released a patch for some of the bugs, and Epic is announcing they are working on the issues

and what do u spoiled brats do? You start complaining about the 360 and 360 games

get a fu**ing life

[socomnick]

You should be happy cell. The more attention these bugs get the faster they get fixed.

[SlappyMcTaint]

Ha haa! At least we HAVE the game right now. Who knows when you'll get your version. LOL. Pwned.

[wageslave]

What is wrong with you PS3 owners?

Every time news of a PS3 problem, you cry "lazy devs" or "sabbotage" or "conspiracy".

Why on earth would someone put glitches into their own game? Are you actually saying that REPORTING all these problems is sabbotage?

ITS reality! The Game has glitches. Framerate issues. It doesnt support mods (as promised).

Its not made-up or opinion, its reality. Deal with it.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Slappy - I'm pretty sure 360 fans aren't missing or losing sleep over UT3 right now. We're busy playing so many great games that we haven't had time to notice. As far as I'm concerned, let Epic take their time and do it right, even if it takes a long time. I for one am looking more forward to Gears 2.

[AdolfBinBush]

THE PS3 HAS WON THE CONSOLE WAR.. IM GOING OUT TO CELEBRATE, TONIGHT.. See you guys at MOE'S tavren..

[skynidas]

well lets just wait till the patch comes out, none of this problems are so bad so lets enjoy this masterpiece that EPIC has give to us

[solar]

i had hella horrible lag last night. i tried to play a close corridor CTF map last night and i was dying before i was seeing ppl. doh.

i did notice the voip didnt work. sad too cuz thats one of the best parts. plus i wanted to yell at my teammates who couldnt blow up the damn core! took them for ever!

[360sucks]

maybe you suck
(reply)shut up 30mb per second
DSL sucks just like you

hahahaha

LMAO

[solar]

@360sucks

ignored by 27 ppl. +1 by me. you obviously dont know how this crazy thing called "the internet" works with online gaming. im not even gonna waste my time on you.

[Lionsguard]

The price we pay for a December release, that's fine though.

[360sucks]

that fool need some real
high speed internet
netzero dont work

[Relcom]

I've clocked about 5 hours now and it was bug free, so.....

[Phalken_Six]

I dont know if its my ps3 or the game but ive been playing warfare offline and i experienced a little skipping of framerate when alot of bots surround me and there would be a crapload of shots being fired. This only happens briefly and rarely. I dont know if anyone has played offline warfare and noticed this but it could just be my ps3

[jujunogo]

I installed the game to my ps3 and i dont see texture pop up but i heard if you didn't want to install it it takes longer to load the textures and you'll see more pop up...I wish I could have installed gears of war on my 360 because textures load up so slow and sometimes you run around at the start of a level looking like a smeared Blob (espically when playing online)

[BigKev45]

Yeah, I can't hear anyone talking in the game.

[achira]

because you must at first turn voice chatting on.

[xg-ei8ht]

Turn on your sound!

[Delive]

No Lag at all for me, ultra smooth. But dang, it's fast. lol. I'm adjusting from CoD4 speed to UT3 speed (like a 3x jump). I must say, I like it so far. Now, how to balance UT3, CoD4 and whatever else is on the menu at the time (FFX for now). All the great games.

[fopums]

the only thing I've noticed is texture pops just when the level loads and then its smooth from there on out. they need to get the lagging issues online worked out though.

playing campaign with my buddies we didnt have a hitch of lag, but I play a deathmatch and everybody was lagging *even myself to an extent*

edit: I installed the game last night after I finished playing, so I dont know if that will help yet, have t wait until I can play again.

psn Liberties

[Phalken_Six]

Yea texture pop i believe is normal thanks fopums. Anyone else?

*Cant wait to fire this baby online. Im getting my service back in two days. Man i hate being late on my bills

[slpknt6sic6]

and i cant wait for you to get it online!! its that good, have fun and good luck with that

[TwissT]

Well launch glitches are bad but the good thing is that epic is trying to fix it. I really hope they fix it by the time I get it.

[Maddens Raiders]

rocks.

[PS3n360]

Gears has crazy host advantage ie one shot kills. i played last night for 3-4 hours and only lagged once for less than 2 seconds. amazing frenzied action.I think this game should havew been cheaper than a full game though Warhawk is 10$ cheaper due to online only. I think this game should be as well cause the single player is a joke and I am never going to play it after the 45 minutes I spent fragging bots in a plotless campaign.

[Lumbo]

Thats the reason you play on dedicated servers. Sure, there are pay4use networks today that fail to offer fair dedicated gaming servers and force you into unfair p2p only host schemes. But UT3 certainly offers dedicated servers that are 100% fair for everyone.

;)

[Legend]

Fact.

[achira]

this game rocks!!! buy it, you will not regret it. best multiplayer game yet!

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

its funny how ps3 fanboys were bashing gears of war and mass effect for texture pop-ups and now the ps3 version of UT3 has the same problem. dont you people realize that all these games are related? they all run under the unreal engine and i noticed pop ups in some other games that run the engine.

there are games on ps3 and 360 that have no pop-ups that really showcase each consoles strength so im guessing that UE3 is inconsistent with console games.

[cervantes99]

It is always the fanboy way to attach the technical merits of the opposing console, when in reality, it is the graphics engine and developer skill that impacts the games.

Both consoles are mega-powerful, just implemented in two different ways.

Enjoy your games on your favorite systems - or if you can, get both systems and enjoy ALL the great games this year. One of the best years yet for gaming.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

u cant go wrong with having both consoles. even tho i prefer my 360 more since xmas 06' and bought more games for it....and mabe its because i havent opened up my ps3 yet, its still under my xmas tree but im dying to get online and play some resistance and UT3. MGS4, GTA4, ninja gaiden 2, FF13, Battlefield bad company, Frontlines fuels of war, and possibly gears of war 2...its definitly awesome to have both consoles

[jackdoe]

Yeah, that is a shame that Epic has to do that for their games.

[cervantes99]

Texture pop-in just after the level loads is only issue I have experienced. Texture pop-in must be an unreal engine issue as gears of War also experienced this when levels would load.

The texture pop-in is less than Gears - probably since you can install the full game to the hard drive.

Framerate is silky smooth and this game does best Gears in the graphics dept. (mainly because it is more colorful). The cut scenes do look like a Gears sequel with marcus Fenix's brother as the main character. Cut scenes are smoother and more refined than Gears too.

I loved Gears - no bashing it - it's just the Unreal engine has been more refined since Gears and it shows in this game :)

Another great game to play over the Holidays!!!

I have Mass Effect, UT3, Uncharted and Halo 3 to play - good time to be a gamer.

[jcgamer]

sounds good bro, I can't wait to play...

[AnimeRaven]

This is pretty grown up for once. I like that not to many people are bashing anything really. Even some of the die hard 360 fans are being really (how do I say it) mature. Now just need to get the PS3 guys to do the same ( many of you are ). Another Great game by Epic. Good job guys I am sure they will have it ironed out soon. PS3 + 360 = gamer gold.

[Relcom]

Go to options and install it. I bet the tards at gaming bits didn't bother with that cause i have not seen what they are talking about.

[jujunogo]

install the game and you shouldnt have to worry about to much pop up and go for low ping games dont jus rush into a game because it has 15/16 players and you want to fill it up,it may have low connection speeds and in return you get lag..

[Relcom]

Is people are newbs at this kind of game. The console doesn't have a game like this. People just need to use there fuking brains and quit being console droids who are used to press start to play.

[xg-ei8ht]

I like ut3,i like bf2, i like warhawk, but still my fav of all time is still quake3(just something about the game)

[Phalken_Six]

I feel much of a tard for saying this but all i had to do was reset my ps3 and i havent noticed any frame drops ever since. So sorry to startle you guy if any were. Love my ps3 and bubble for you slpknt6sic6!

[segasage]

if and when a 360 game have some early glitches....

of course glitches are normal.

Just get them fixed.

[FullyLoaded420]

The LAGSTATION 3...

LAG B3YOND!!

So much for the Blu-Ray and the Cell advantage..

PSN: Sick_Wid_It_420, just in case if your wondering if im a 360 fanboy. Back to playing PAIN...the only game I have on the PS3 before purchasing UT3. Will wait till this gets fixed.

[ravinash]

How you make all these comments about lag and stuff then say you don't even have the game yet.
very odd.

[TUFFnNYC]

Mass Effect, Halo and Gears dont lag? Where have you been these days?

[Dhani]

EPIC GAMES SHOULDN'T HAVE PUT THE SAME CHARACTERS FROM GOW1 INTO UT3!IT JUST PROVES THAT EPIC GAMES IS GETTING LAZY!!!>:O...SPEAKING OF GLITCHES...EVERY GAME NO MATTER WHAT SYSTEM HAS A GLITCH!IT IS IMPOSSIBLE SO FAR TO MAKE A GAME WITHOUT GLITCHES!EVEN HALO3 SADLY HAS GLITCHES AND SADLY I WAS THE MASTER CHIEF TO BE IN THE GLITCH! >:O

[solar]

i see a glitch. its your god damn capslock button. Christ give us a break

[ravinash]

Firstly its the same arts director who did Gears as UT3.
And if your expecting people to go out and use mods to change anything anyway, why would you invest all the time and effort into creating a new model design.

[Dhani]

LOL I COMBINED UT AND GEARS OF WAR...duh -_-...>:O

[natedogg25]

ah no need to worry
epic will get this fixed up

[jackdoe]

Welcome to PC gaming on the consoles. First day patches and patches within days.

[FamilyGuy]

I jumped right online after inserting the game, got killed like 7 times with no kills given out :( but it was expected. I didnt hear anyone even trying to use a headset and The only "glitch" i noticed was from my lagging internet, which was at about %20-25 signal strength since i steal all my internets from the neighbor so i got some characters flash stepping (blinking from one spot to another) when they were farther away.

Still great fun, played the "campaign" (lol) mode after that and i didnt notice ANY glitches there so its fine by me and patches come pretty quick for PS3 games anyways...

[demolitionX]

i had some freezing after spawing for 2 sec, and plays smooth!!any ideas, is it my internet? or?

[stickygreen]

My PS3 froze a few time when trying to connect to a server, other than that i havent noticed any lag.

[PimpHandHappy]

if its true we all know it will get a patch

look at warhawk on launch and look at it now!

I can get into any room with 2 open

I never get booted and it hasnt frozen on me in about 50 hours of game play

btw all the proof you need that PS3 and Sony are fighting a good clean consele war is that they have never said look at MS and that 33%. You also dont get these kinds of storys. Even a good game gets the hammer of crap in under 2 days but yet mass effect and bioshock, both buggy games, never get that same slam.....

All Sony would have to say is this:
PPL dont buy more then one PS3!!! Can you say the same about the 360?

but then again they would be spit on by mostly American 360 fans for sounding arrigant when the most arrigant ppl on this planet are fat fukn Americans

[Bolts]

The UT3 franchise is PC centric so you get everything else the PC get. Mods, mouse+keyboard support, bugs and rushed patches on release day.

Actually you don't get everything the PC get, the PS3 version doesn't support dedicated servers. Thats prolly the reason why some players are experiencing lag, you're playing a game hosted by some kid with a lousy connection, thats nothing new regardless of the game you play. I played plenty of laggy Halo 3 and CoD 4 games. That why dedicated servers are important, Warhawk never lag.

[cartman313]

That's funny... I played on a dedicated server yesterday morning.

[Bolts]

Last I checked the console version doesn't support dedicated servers. The game prolly have some sort of dynamic hosting similar to CoD 4.

[MvC Xtrm]

Before you start a multiplayer game there are options to choose from. Under 'server type' you have the option to choose 'Listen' or 'Dedicated'. Although I have no idea what a Listen' server type is. Jeeze, have you even played the damn game?

[MvC Xtrm]

It's the worst quality I've ever experienced. A buddy and I just had enough B.S. so we used the Xbox Live mics to talk to each other while playing UT3 (PS3) online. That's just sad. But it's not like anyone talks on PSN anyways which makes it a dull experience. But I must say, UT3 is godly when it comes to multiplayer, too bad PSN's services ruin it. It's such a pain in the ass to do the simplest things on PSN like get a game together with a friend, the voice chat, mic always disconnecting from Blu-Tooth, mic quality loss, lag, server disconnects and time outs, etc., etc..

[TUFFnNYC]

Have you played COD4 or Warhawk? Everyone talks on the mic. Stop bashing the system. I rather have no one talk (according to you) then hear immature kids on XBL.

[Myth]

I get huge headaches while playing this game on my 60 inch tv. It happens when I play for about an hour or so. It's not the first game to do that to me, it's usually games that have a lot of motion. And it only happens when playing on a big screen. Anyone else have this problem???

[TUFFnNYC]

Get that checked dude. You might have Epilepsy. (If thats how you spell it)

[MonkeyChief]

Just to clear this up..
No offline multiplayer.. Right?

[zonetrooper5]

There is offline mutiplayer I'm sure of that but no offline split screen I think. Also P2P and Deadicated servers both have their advantages and disadvantages. P2P only sucks when you play with someone who has a crappy connection trying to host a 16 play game or 24 player game for that matter. You can get lag on both P2P and deadicated servers so stop with the BS, "PSN HAS NO LAG LIKE THE LAGBOXLIVE LOLOALWLOALWOLOLLO" etc etc

[Mikelarry]

makes me laugh that ppl overhype a game that they love and when it comes out the first thing they do is look for glitches and bugs. cant you just enjoy the game for a few weeks atleast then look for the glitches
