Unreal BETA-patch 227k_17

>>> New update 227k_17 available for Windows / Linux / MacOS

All NEWBIESPLAYGROUND GAMESERVERS are patched to Beta 227k 64bit – Build: 227k_17

You can download the latest 227k-versions from our DOWNLOADS-section 

NOTE: Please make sure to backup your Unreal-Installation before applying the patch-files. Backup and remove your Unreal.ini file before starting the updated game-installation (a new Unreal.ini will be generated including new settings and yes, you’ll need to set your previous settings manually again). That will ensure that the updated game-installation should work properly. If you want to use the 64bit version of Unreal, make sure that you either copy all “*.u”-files from patch directory “System” to “System64” or add the path to your Unreal.ini (if not added already): Paths=..\System\*.u below Paths=..\System64\*.u

14 New Maps on our Servers

We added 14 maps to all our servers from Alexander Simons. We did have to replace the modded UT-Inventory from those maps and substitute it with Unreal-compatible inventory items. This is all we have done, so they are very close to the original intentions of this author, who did a great job creating this map pack. The intro and outro maps are not available on the server. Have Fun !!
