UT Patch 440

[ZWarrior]

Just ran across this.  Apparently there is a group of programers that have obtained the source from Epic for UT in order to keep the code alive.

They have released a v4.40 patch for UT.

Get it here

I found this looking for the patch

UT Patch 440 Released

Someone (Buster?) at BBR had mentioned while playing that a new patch was out for UT. I'd gone to Epic looking for it, but couldn't locate it. Finally found it at this site...
Unreal Tournament Preservation Group
Here's the synopsis of UT Security Patch 440 (cut/paste from their website)...
This patch addresses the exploits made public earlier last week. It is a server only install. Windows and Linux installs are available for download. Please fully read the readme for details on installation and changes made.
As it's a "server-only install", the 440 patch is only gonna be of interest to Darkwalker, Railskinner, etc. But if you have a list of web-links for UT, you may wanna add UTPG to it.

And a warning: Do not install version 4.40 unless you are running a server. It screws up your F6 ping readout completely... - this info posted by [Fitz]Chum{AGUT} on the ut newsgroup

Man that's an old release!

The latest is the 4.51 patch.  I would recommend against installing it right now, even though it does wonders, since anyone who hasn't and is running a UTPure server will kick you as being "Unpure".

You can get the patch here.
