How do you think it will run on here. I never really played any UT games before.

It'll run great, download it now!

I pre-ordered my copy from GameStop last week at my local mall. I can't wait for March 17 now. :)
I paid off my Pre-Order tonight. I'm ready now. :p

I do believe that they are completely on track. I have read an interview with Cliff B. today at GameSpy and they are about done. And we do have a demo on our machines... They are batting 1000 compared to Valve.

Anyone else having audio problems, as in the sound FX are too quiet and the music too damn loud (I turned it off)? Weird. Didn't have this problem with UT2K3. nForce 2 mobo.

It`s a little quiet FX wise but not too bad,remember it`s a beta demo,I like the music quite a lot.

I'm with you Mem, I never slagged the game for the sound oddities. Aside from the volume issue everything else works great, even EAX!

I run on a FX 5600 SE, will the graphic work out fine? I lag fairly bad on Halo...

I am fairly confident that an FX 5600 card will work ok. You may have to run with lower quality settings but it should run fine.

I noticed this too while wearing headphones with the volume turned ALL the way to the max.

Ran it at 1280X1204 lines of resolution last nite.....great graphics (though I understand the textures have been reduced to make it easier for download) and the frames screamed (3ghz/ATI Radeon 9800PRO). Feels alot like UT2003....very fast action.

It runs very smooth @ 1024x768 on my P4C rig (overclocked 64 meg Ti4200). I'm wondering how the game will run with full textures.

Sound is quiet. I turned off the distracting music.

If I set the sound driver to "Software 3D", the volume issue gets much better, so it appears HW acceleration isn't together for some reason.

Likely a Sounstorm/EAX issue.
