Well I've decided that this release will be a Beta so other mappers can give me some last minute feedback! :-)

If you have a crap PC I'm afraid you've wasted your time downloading this map as It needs a pretty high spec. :-(

Its late again & I havent even started uploading this map yet.....so now you've downloaded It, PLAY IT!

Thats It. :-)

INSERT : PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS (11/05/01)

0) Recomended system specs : CPU 700mhz+, Ram 128+, VGA Geforce 1 or equivalent!
1) If your having framerate problems try lowering you colour depth from 32-bit to 16-bit.
2) Turning 'Decals' off can also give a performance boost.
3) Turning off 'Dynamic lighting' will help also.
4) Lowering your resolution can also make a big difference.
5) Playing the map with less Bots will help to.
6) Overclock you CPU/Graphics card....I'm kinda joking here but my machines overclocked as far as It will go!

To find these options when UT Is up & running click on 'Options',  followed by 'Preferences' & then 'Video'.
