UT 405b Patch Released

1
The Unreal Tournament v405b patch has been released over at the Unreal Tech Page The list of changes for this new version of Unreal Tournament is pretty damn big, but the patch is still backwards compatible with other servers. Update at your liesure or something..Thanks Dg3Nr8

Performance improvements:
- downloads from server are now rate controlled
- reduced how long carcasses hang around on servers
- Improved bit packing for network packets (server performance improvement)
- Ability to turn fractal texture animation off: "Added the NoFractalAnim switch. When true, fractal textures are never updated and the texture's bRealTime is set to false. This takes effect at a package's loading/init time, so you'll have to restart a level to see it take effect.
- Admins can control downloading of packages from their server by editing the [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section of unrealtournament.ini

    I don\'t like Unreal Tournament, so this patch means nothing to me!
