the new Unreal Tournament will be straight up free (not "free-2-play")

The Future of Unreal Tournament Begins Today

THE FUTURE OF UNREAL TOURNAMENT BEGINS TODAY

Steve Polge on May 08, 2014 | Community News

Work on the future of Unreal Tournament begins today, and we’re happy to announce that we’re going to do this together, with you. We know that fans of the game are as passionate about Unreal Tournament as we are. We know that you have great ideas and strong opinions about where the game should go and what it should be. So let’s do something radical and make this game together, in the open, and for all of us.

HERE’S THE PLAN:
  • We’ve created a small team of UT veterans that are beginning work on the project starting today.
  • From the very first line of code, the very first art created and design decision made, development will happen in the open, as a collaboration between Epic, UT fans and UE4 developers. We’ll be using forums for discussion, and Twitchstreams for regular updates.
  • If you are a fan and you want to participate, create a free account and join the forum discussion.
  • All code and content will be available live to UE4 developers on GitHub.
  • The game will be true to its roots as a competitive FPS.
  • Development will be focused on Windows, Mac and Linux.
SO WHAT’S THE CATCH?
  • It will take many months until the game is playable by gamers. This is real development from scratch.
  • When the game is playable, it will be free. Not free to play, just free.
  • We’ll eventually create a marketplace where developers, modders, artists and gamers can give away, buy and sell mods and content. Earnings from the marketplace will be split between the mod/content developer, and Epic. That’s how we plan to pay for the game.
A lot of this is brand new for Epic, and we don’t yet have everything figured out. Things will probably definitely go wrong from time to time, and when they do, we’ll have to work through them together. There will be a lot of tough decisions to make, and not every feature will make it into the game. But if you’re a fan of Unreal Tournament, a UE4 developer, or a future modder – or if you just want to learn how we make games – we hope you’ll join us. It’s going to be fun.

Sudden 100% disk usage slowing down a computer to a crawl is one of the strangest things I've ever had to deal with. :mindblown:. shyt took forever to fix.

3-way SLI 780 vs 2-way SLI 780ti?

People seemed to have mixed feelings on which is better:

Tri-SLI GTX 780 vs Duo-SLI GTX 780Ti? - [H]ard|Forum

I'm curious on your thoughts. They're both about the same price. Which one would perform better?

My kneejerk reaction tells me that 2-way SLI 780 ti would be better than 3-way. Less headache, less hardware to deal with makes it seem like an easy choice.

Picked it up but accidentally bought the dlc before I bought the game that included all of the dlc.

anyway, I ran the game at 1080p and all graphics maxed out.
I was getting less than around 20 fps.

this is the first game to completely shyt on my rig.

physx seems to be borked. I actually pirated and played through the game with physx fine when it first came out. then I copped a little while back, and for some reason physx was crushing my performance. shyt ran fine without it though. idk if it's something they changed in the game, or a driver issue

:ohhh:

I remember you saying this before. I'm gonna have to look into this. I want to start a new build. But I'm so torn on waiting for the 880s or just going for what's out there now.
